and frankly, i doubt it factors in people who are too scared to come out of the closet because society is still so homophobic to the point where hate crimes against lgbt people are still. being. committed. every. day.

but let's play devil's advocate. you know, for the sake of playing devil's advocate.

so the other 3.4% just should just watch themselves get shot in the chest. again and again. for over. 14. years. right?

because that's what's been happening.

i don't think you are homophobic. but commenting that people should get over her death when there has been someone who has landed him/herself in the hospital because of this? yes, that is borderline casual homophobia. i honestly don't think you meant it intentionally. but it still stings. granted, you should NEVER land yourself in the hospital because of a tv show, but it happened. because lexa's death impacted young lgbt people who watched the show, got disgustingly queerbaited, and then got burned.

tell them to get over lexa's death.

and then tell that to my face again.

i am sorry for sounding so bitter. i really am. but i'm sick of reading these comments over and over and over again. i stayed out of it for 2 days. i can't stay out of it anymore.

I'm sorry, are you saying people went to the hospital because of this episode? I am sorry if that is not what you were saying. If that is what you are saying, I had no idea. But as far as I am aware, I never said to "get over it" I simply didn't understand why anyoe would be more sad about losing a lesbian rather than losing a influential character. As for the re-search, I chose sites that i thought were notable. I don't want to argue. I didn't even want to in the first place. I understand that sometimes you have to be bitter to get your point across.
