SpokenAgainst

Straight from the mouth of the people who matter: our supporters.

I can give you our history, I can give you the team's biographies, I can show you all of our links and pages, but nothing will give you a better picture of what SpokenAgaist is than hearing from the people who are SpokenAgainst: our supporters.

I've been compiling a list of comments for a while now, and as I go back and read them, I've realized that no one can give you a better picture of what SpokenAgainst than the people I started this for.

The owner, Fink, is amazingly nice. And this site has helped many, and more to come. A lot of people actually care about the GLBT and people will soon start to see that, thanks to SpokenAgainst and other little sites.

SpokenAgainst has vindicated my belief that the world can be changed with just a small group of people. I also have been given a place where I know I can help others and make a difference.

I'm straight, but I think that everyone should be accepted. Who cares if you're different? Everybody should have the right to fall in love and get married. It doesn't matter if you're straight, gay, lesbian, or bi. I'm thrilled that SpokenAgainst is working to show everyone that and spread some love. Thanks!!! Oh, and Fink is awesome! :-D

I have a cousin that isn't straight, and a few friends as well... I have seen how badly they were treated, and it totally sickens me... I want to help them some how, and when I read what "Fink" had done, it really touched me that she wanted to help, I want to be like that and help the people that have to suffer just 'cuz they're gay..

Why do I want to join? I read the main bit of the group and although I’ve had people insult me and friends/family because of sexual preferences I’ve never really thought of it as much of an issue (being thick skinned as I am) until now. I read that and it raised a passion in me which I thought shouldn't be ignored. I'd happily help with anything needed done in the group and I’m a willing shoulder to cry on for anyone.

I was deeply inspired by your story. Last year I was silent and got harassed but I have always been since I came out. Thanks for the story and I told all my nearest and dearest friends.

This is so cool! What you’re doing is something a lot of us aren’t brave enough to do! I send you the best of luck and ill try to get a ton of people to add you! :)

People are always telling me I can't make a difference. I think they're wrong. Even if I’m "too young" to protest I can get involved using the internet. I use SpokenAgainst to help spread the love and make a difference. So don't ever let people tell you there is no way to help fight for your rights and the rights of others!

SpokenAgainst is much more than just a group to me...it is a reason to keep fighting. It lets me know I'm not alone and that my friends and I will someday be able to live in peace. Me and my girl friend are together and happy but people look at us like were a monstrosity or an abomination to god. When I go online and I see this it lets me know were not the only ones struggling and fighting to be ourselves in public. It’s made it a lot easier to hold her hand and kiss her before classes like straight couples do without hesitation. We are in love and everyday it’s getting easier to show people. We feel more accepted knowing that SpokenAgainst exists. Thanks so much for everything you’ve done Fink and of course anyone who is a proud member of spoken against!!!<3

SpokenAgainst has made an impact on me in unknown ways. They are only unknown because I found out about it after I've made it through. SpokenAgainst makes a difference in my life because it's a way that I can help people and make a difference when all along I'd think to myself that I can't change anything. SpokenAgainst has proven me wrong.

SpokenAgainst is a chance at change. A chance for those who have been silenced to make their voices heard. To raise their fists in an act of revolution against the seemingly undying regime of ignorance and intolerance.

We don't live in a world that is truly accepting; for race, gender, orientation or religion. Groups like this-- that spread awareness and plan to help those who feel helpless and ashamed; ashamed for reasons that aren't their fault and overall, shouldn't be a problem in the first place-- really make a difference, big and small, to change our outlook. I'd really be proud to say that I am a part of this group, a safe place for those who need to talk, to be themselves, and to eventually dispel the negativity over orientation/gender identity rights.

SpokenAgainst has been a way for me to fill the need I have to help people be okay in their own skin, and has, believe it or not, really helped me be more okay with myself and everything about me, regardless of how the way I am may upset more close-minded people. This has been the one endeavor that I've remained devoted to the longest and the only form of community service that I've ever poured my heart and soul into. Not only that, but I know I'm safe whenever I'm talking to anyone on SpokenAgainst, regardless of the site profile I'm on, because I know that everyone that I'm talking to has some idea of what it's like to be me, to not be 'normal', and it's nice to know you're not the only one.
I don't think I'd be as good a person as I am today if it hadn't been for SpokenAgainst.
Fink, you are amazing.


I was touched, to say the least, by everything I read on the main page. The fact that one person's tolerance and support of equal rights can get thousands of peoples' attention is astonishing to me. I want to join this group not only because of its impressiveness, but also because I think it would be a lot of fun to chat and talk with other people who share the same ideals as me.
