This soothing video was just posted

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x874165. It really is beautiful but I have one little bitty problem with it. Anyone willing to start the video and guess the problem before it shows up. Warning it's an easy guess if you start the video. Actually, I can tell you that it is a feel good video about tolerance so I think that anybody can play--even those on dial-up who don't want to download a video.

1. Extra credit

Will anyone on GD who is not a member of GLBT get it?

3. The folks refer to sexuality as a "style choice"

like it's bell bottoms or leg warmers, that you thought were a good idea at the time, and when they go out of fashion you can just take them off. Choice my ass...

5. Yup, I was taken aback by the line.

And I'm female, straight and an orthodox Jew. It was bullshit in an otherwise pleasant video.

7. I posted here because flamefests

seem to start when the issue of Gay Rights comes up in GD....and, because I've been posting like crazy for the first time in my 5 year residence at this site and nobody ever replies to my posts.

10. Thanks and do you know what?

I registered on this board at a time when there were fewer than one thousand members (sometime early in 2001) I spend hours on the site every day but I haven't posted much because I never thought that I had anything important to say. I kept waiting for somebody to call me a troll because this spurt of posting is such an aberration but I am comforted by the fact that when I check the profiles of other low posters, many more of us have come out of the woodwork in recent days.

11. Ehh ... the whole "lifestyle choice" didn't bother me.

After all, mass media seems to bombard us with all the programs about people who have chosen to live a heterosexual lifestyle. It used to bother me, but after all these years of seeing "The Bachelor," "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire," "Cheaters," etc., I've learned to be pretty darn toleratant of all those heterosexual lifestylers out there. ... And I hardly ever go "ick!" if there's a heterosexual kissing scene on TV any more!

:sarcasm:
