Appearances

I think that Vazquez doesn't want to tell her audience right away that the two men are straight, because she wants you to think that they are gay. She does this to make the audience shocked, which worked because I actually thought that they were gay. Why is she doing this? She does this to emphasize the impact that appearances have. People are often judged by appearances and that sometimes a person does not seem how they appear. I think that the old saying "never judge a book by its cover," is totally appropriate for this article. Violence that antigay send out is equal for this reason, they send out the same message and that is what matters the most. We all have the right to express ourselves, in our opinions, whether other people agree with them or not. They can still express these ideas without the use if violence, just because you don't support it and you disagree with it doesn't mean you should hurt another person.
