I just stumbled onto this campaign to promote “marriage equality” at WhiteKnot.org. I have no problem with anyone wanting to express their views and even to use a little white knot to do so (sounds like a red ribbon or a pink ribbon campaign) but having heard of some people talking about distributing these white knots, I just thought I would give people a heads-up on what they symbolize, lest anyone pass them out without explaining what they represent.

I won’t be passing them out. I am sure they will find their way on the college campuses. I know on college and high school campuses, and this is a good way to find out something you might not want to find out about your own child (heads up), that gay organizations in school promote a silence day for gay rights awareness. The participants don’t speak for 24 hours, and they hand out cards for what they are doing. I had a friend find out the hard way about her daughter this way.
I have no doubt that they will become visible in many places, especially among young people. I just hope that nobody is convinced to take one without knowing what it really stands for. Tricks like “wear blue jeans day” are typical for these activists.
