It has nothing to do with supporting homosexuality; it's about honoring the dead. Similar to wearing a certain color to honor troops killed in the middle east. You do not have to agree with the reasons the war is being fought to mourn them.

how is wearing a purple shirt "honoring the dead"

the dead know nothing.

do people seriously even sit down and think how non-sensical that is.

edit - ahem, misread that. Shut up, it's early for me. =P Purple signifies spirit on a gay pride flag. That's why.

So, in other words, we shouldn't have funerals because the dead wouldn't know?scorch-62

a funeral is for the relatives of the deceased, not for the dead guy....

Honoring the dead is generally more for the benefit of the living.

Debates and discussions generally work quite a bit better when fallacies aren't invoked.

I shall try to remember. Hearing the story of the student who jumped off the bridge due to bullying upset me, and my older brother has had to deal with a lot because he is gay when he's a far better person than most (runs marathons to raise money to charities, gives up his time for charity, left working at a high class department store to work with and support vulnerable members of society) It may not achieve much, but if I can show support I'll do it.
