STAMP: Enough Sexuality Stamps

Description

EDIT AGAIN: Thanks for the DD.

Now here's a main point for the most of you (nice and mean both):
Check the title of the stamp.
Now the first two (scrolling) lines.
And the description.

This isn't about letting people making the next KKK or whatever illegal/etc decisions they make, this is about people not making any more damn sexuality stamps. We wouldn't 'need' them if people didn't keep making such a big deal out of something that isn't necessary info for the average Joe. :| I understand that people consider sexuality a major part of their identity, but I am a tomboy PC gamer and consider this a greater representation of 'me' than my asexuality. I also live my life in and through music - singing, humming, listening to it to calm down and playing my own music to help me fall asleep. Anyone who knows me can tell you that not an hour goes by I'm not singing, humming, or listening to music. Yet I don't introduce myself as such to everyone and make a hundred freaking stamps about any of it and I certainly don't get offended when others don't do the same or make stamps about liking Xbox games or just reading in silence more.
(But also because I'm an admin in a stamp group, there are heaps of beautiful stamps to express this already yet they make up an unreasonable percentage of our submissions. We got the bases covered thanks.)

To clear up additional confusion the "I detest" is not there to say you should allow hate. It is there for these reasons:
:bulletblue: So there are three prefixes to four qualities, meaning they all match up eventually
:bulletblue: Because I have seen stamps such as these, and
:bulletblue: because people making these stamps are the ones that should be doing the decision-respecting.

As for my use of the world 'decisions':
:bulletblue: The 'respecting decisions' applies to more than just sexuality (although sexuality is the focus of this stamp). This is, in fact, my mantra.
:bulletblue: Whether I say 'decisions' or 'natures', someone will complain (can't please everyone), and
:bulletblue: the line would be too long if I said decisions/natures - it's going fast enough already. Plus
:bulletblue: your sexuality may or may not be a conscious decision. But look at it this way - your choice to ACT ON IT is. ;)

And, uh, before I get in more comments in like (don't worry, you previous guys are forgiven :cookie:). I did not want this to be featured. I still don't. Of all my stuff to be DD'd, this would be among the last. So please do not accuse me of wanting publicity, because I'm having trouble dealing with what this stamp has garnered already. Thanks. :)




EDIT:Doubled its length to allow for slower (and therefore easier to read) text. And before any idiots complain that it now supports/detests something they detest/support, note that there are three prefixes but four traits, so they all end up matched with each other eventually. It's just this time you can actually READ them because they move at the same speed.

Ironically I used a stamp (about sexuality, more or less) to say how seriously, I get way too many sexuality stamps in my inbox. (Both support and detest stamps, interestingly enough.)

I had to overlap/warp frames so you are still reading the third line when the first reappears, but I redid that section a couple dozen times and this was the best I could get.

In fact, even after uploading this (but before hitting 'submit') I redid the bottom line, and recoloured it.

Sorry, then, for the swift reading and super-eyesight required.

Be grateful I didn't put the shine animation on this one. That would have been too far.

TEXT AS FOLLOWS:
    I support / I detest / I'm proud of my homosexuality / asexuality / bisexuality / heterosexuality Does it matter? Just respect other people's decisions whether or not you agree with them.
DON'T comment just to list things I 'missed'. There a at least a dozen different things I could put on the second line: -sexuality, -romanticness, and all those combinations. I just picked the four most common. Deal with it.
