Poll question: Would you buy this shirt? (Cross-posted in GLBT forum)


I remixed the shirt below (from www.unamerican.com - their stuff rocks)...



...as a "Fuck you!" to the fundie homophobes. I want to wear this new shirt, but sadly it exists only in my Photoshop for now.

I need to know if anyone would buy a shirt like this, so I can email the guy with the idea and proof it would make him money if he produced it.

So - likey? Hatey?

3. Did I mention I'm bisexual?
It's more of a "proud to be a 'sinner', your stupid labels don't mean shit" than your interpretation. But then, I'm no genius graphics designer, so what do I know? :D

That shirt's from Engrish.com, right?

2. The Jesus Hates Me one would be better with the rainbow motif

Or at least I feel that way (if He doesn't I can't explain my hideous luck) and would be tempted to buy one of those. That's just my personality though.

4. I'm an atheist, so I think Jesus is resting in peace (if he ever existed).
But if he were real after all, I wouldn't believe he hates anyone. Not one of my favorite UnAmerican designs.

12. yeah
But my latest to dialog is kinda not well done,I think I didn't articulate myself clearly,with what I was trying to say,It came off wrong,accented the wrong points,used the wrong approach. What I was trying to say was complex.Can't always write well all the time,but yeah I still write for them.

...especially if you made a Pagan themed one.

Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 03:44 PM by AchtungToddler
That way, if anyone understands, you know they're cool ;)

14. Be What You Choose to Be
But in my world, you are not a sinner, unless you intentionally want to hurt others. To be a lover of men and/or women qualifies you for normalhood, as long as you are responsible about your emotions, other folks' expectations as a result of your sexuality/intimacy, and you are making a symbolic gesture towards one USA, not for many of them.

16. It's basically saying I'm NOT a sinner.
Kind words, and I appreciate them.
