Quote
The #GayTurtle project was created by Amnesty InIstanbul to illustrate how homophobia and hate crimes are still a major problem in Turkey (and everywhere else.)
Utilizing sly humor and a small militia of hidden cameras, the below video features an aquarium worker informing shoppers that they’ve just chosen to purchase a “gay turtle.”
The reactions run the gamut. There’s cursing, uncomfortable silence,  shock, and one customer who even responds, “Give me a normal, non-gay, standard turtle.”
Watch video of the sales exchanges below.

There's nothing better than kissing my boyfriend directly on the lips in a crowd full of people and daring them to have a reaction  :)

What if you kissed your boyfriend while also changing your baby's diaper in public?

We hope to have children one day. Doing that would really put the homophobes in a tizzy

You people still die from AIDS-related illnesses.  It's especially gratifying that the actual cause of death ends up being cancer, so you can have a long, lingering, painful ride to Hell.

You can't outmaneuver God's will, fruit pop.

Hope this helps.

No prep In DA's time. Anyway prep doesn't stop all the other stds out there. Plus prep isn't 100% foolproof.
Why do you think all gays are hoes?
Why do you think AIDS only targets gays?
Charles sheen, eazy e, and magic are not gay and they have hiv or AIDS.

Enjoy cancer.

AIDS has other uses, but its primary "victims" have always been...and always will be...those who choose to be qu33rs.

There is such a thing as homosexual horses...Anyone involved with horses can tell you that this is true...The euphemism is "It won't breed"
