Kiss the Girls, Make Them Cry

By Joshua Rothkopf

    Ahhh America… the place to be free. Freedome of speech, freedom to gather, freedom to bear arms….sound slike we got it all yeah? I fully back the US, my family is in the sevices, but this is absolutely obsured. These girls come here to “be free” n make their music…u know to do their own thing. And what do u ppl do? Criticize, say its an act, turn in disgust. Im a 16 year old girl and im straight, so does that make me okay? Do u want to listen to me now that u know i prefer men? I just dont understand ppl, they make it a point to say that America supports diversity, its okay to be different, all ppl r created equal…in my eyes ppl r hippocrits. I only wish that these ppl would stop and listen, maybe close their mouths and open their eyes….these could very well be your daughters some day!!!!

    P.s. i hope this guy makes this movie! i hope that he is able to share his gift with the world, i also hope that ppl actually take time to see it…to expand their minds and find that it is okay to show life. In all its aspects….troubled, beatiful, imperfect, and something that has to be shared with another. Ppl, look at ur spouses. ur girlfriends. ur boyfriends. And think where u would be if someone told u it was wrong to be with them????wrong to publicly show that u care for this person???? wrong to be open with your love and feelings for this person???? And only then judge this man and those girls….
