you don't look like a feminist
In December, [Megan Phelps-Roper, formerly one of the Westboro Baptist Church’s most vocal members] went to a public library in Lawrence, Kansas. She was looking through books on philosophy and religion, and it struck her that people had devoted their entire lives to studying these questions of how to live and what is right and wrong. ‘The idea that only [[Westboro Baptist Church] had the right answer seemed crazy,’ she says. ‘It just seemed impossible.’
Repeating: “I’m going to stick this quote into every discussion of why libraries are important.”

Please. Please please please read this and reblog!
If you support LGBTQ Rights you need to stop scrolling and read this. This is not a fucking joke.
If you cant read this, here it is:
If you don’t remember Sophie M Herold, she is a German girl, who is extremely homophobic and transphobic. She has found out LGBTQ persons names, addresses, personal info etc. And set up her own database.
Her intentions with this are harmful.
She is sending out this information, your information, your best friends information, someone you love and care about. She’s sending it to hate groups, malicious people, people with bad intentions.
And if you think I’m blowing this out of proportion, people have been kicked out of homes, disowned by families and even MURDERED. Yes, murdered. Innocent people who have done nothing but love.
She has had numerous blogs and each have been removed. Tumblr staff are aware of her, and as far as I’m aware she currently doesn’t have a blog, but this does not mean she isn’t still on peoples tumblrs, asking via anon where you live, what your name is.
An email I received today. She’s sending out information of same sex couples with children so the children can be kidnapped. She entitled it “Time to strike back”. If that doesn’t suggest harmful intentions I don’t know what does.
Please be extremely careful what you post on tumblr, on twitter, facebook, anywhere. Do NOT give out your full name or your address, or even the town in which you live. Look out for one another, and don’t answer any suspicious anons. Especially if they use your name in quotation marks.
Sophie M Herold is still out there, she always will be, so please spead this message and warn people. She’s attacking in silence. We don’t need more people dying because of her actions.========This disgusting excuse of a human being of needs to stop, but the only way it can be stopped is if you spread this! Please, be aware of any suspicious people or anons asking for personal information. It can get you or your loved ones in SERIOUS DANGER. Thank you.

Homophobic teen radio host's show shut down
After a video of 14-year-old talk show host Caiden Cowger ranting about “homosexuals” went viral, the teen’s show has been shut down.
The recording service Spreaker determined Cowger’s online radio show to consist of hate speech and took it off the air. Though a CNN contributor stood up for Cowger and tried to claim he was being bullied for being conservative, countless others have spoken out against his hateful words.
This follows after YouTube also appeared to remove the show from its site, although its resurfaced elsewhere on the site and opponents have started a red-flagging campaign.
“While we not only support free speech, we help it find its way to more people faster and easier with our service that is the audio equivalent of YouTube, but like them, we cannot and will not condone hate speech,” said Spreaker CEO Francesco Baschieri in a statement. “Consequently, we have pulled down audio content from Caiden Cowgar, whose recent gay-bashing clearly crosses the line from free — to hate — speech.”Good freakin’ riddance.
Sophie is now posting photo’s of people and where they live on her blog. Please, even if you haven’t had contact from her, or even if she’s not affecting your life, report her. Her name is Sophie M Herold, and she is destroying lives for no reason. Don’t just ask them to shut down her blog, this will do nothing to stop her, she needs to be reported to authorities, what she has done is illegal.
For those who don’t know what this person has done, she has taken the names, addresses and other personal info of LGBTQ people, and is sending this information out to the whole world, and outing these people against their will.
My name is Edward Lucas, and I am putting a stop to her, I am standing up to her, and I will end it. Reblog this, all of you, I don’t care if it makes your blog “ugly” or whatever. This is peoples lives at risk.
And Sophie, if you’re reading this, I mean every word I say.
Reblog and report PLEASE.
What the fuck.
i hope she knows if someone is harmed because of her actions, she might be at fault.
The blog is gone, but she should be reported to the authorities somehow.
It doesn’t seem like the blog is gone… I can still see it. This is reckless and dangerous behaviour. If you haven’t yet, report her.
EDIT (5:07 EST) - the blog linked above is gone, I’m not sure if she has others though?
