LGBT Youth! Please sign & share this petition.... Save Young Lives! Save the
World's Biggest Gay-Friendly Facebook Group (with over 2 million members).
Dear Mark Zuckerberg, John Horgan, and other Facebook
Leaders,
Thank you so much.
Facebook has been saving young lives. You can continue to save lives, if
you save the world's biggest gay-friendly facebook group, with all its
information, members and discussions. You can make it better for LGBT (Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual and Trans) youth.
As you know, the group, "I Bet We Can Find 1,000,000 People who Support
Same-Sex Marriage" reached over 2 million members in just over 2 weeks last
year. * Here's the link to the 2
million member group... http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=283600686512
Restoring the group
is the right thing to do. It's
also the profitable thing to do, as the gay-friendly community supports
facebook.
Sharon Love started the group because her "not straight" cousin
took his life when they were young.
She has sent a link of the group to countless youth who posted suicide
threats on facebook. Many times,
Love has sent messages to LGBT youth in crisis saying things like, "Please, on
behalf of over 2 million people, I ask you to live.
Yes! Over two million people
support you. There is hope. Just read the discussions and you'll
see....". Those youth are still
alive today, thanks in part to you.
Please bring back the elements of the group that have been deleted,
including the earlier discussions and the list of over 2 million members.
The group is a place where LGBT youth go 24/7, year-round, for a
much-needed sense of belonging, support and self-esteem. Saving the group will
not only promote justice, it will also save more lives. The group gets hundreds
of posts every month. Please
upgrade the group, or keep it as is.
Please do not archive it and delete all the members, as the note at the
top of the group indicates is planned.
The gay-friendly community supports facebook; please support us.
Being gay-friendly is the right thing to do. It is also the profitable thing to do,
if you would like to enjoy our continued support.
Research shows that over 54% of the population is LGBT, and even more are
supportive. LGBT people are your
members and your advertisers, and we care about respect.
Deeply. You can contact
Sharon Love at http://www.outstandinglives.org to negotiate a win-win solution
that benefits facebook and the gay-friendly community.
THANKS!
You make a difference.
