okay, so i walked into school and saw one of the girls in my classes wearing a shirt. At first, it was amusing; but when I thought about it, i found it a little offensive.
what do you think?
i know it's kind of hard to see... it was the only picture i could find of the shirt. Sorry!

I find it amusing. Granted it CAN be taken as offensive but I'd rather laugh at it than get mad. People are like that- and people think that way. I guess I just don't think about it much.

... Ummm... I don't get it... I mean, I could see how it could be offensive, sorta. I just don't see how it's funny.

I could see this being offensive, but it really depends who would be wearing it. If its someone who is hostile towards gays it would bother me, but if its just someone who finds it to be a funny shirt it wouldn't bother me.
Hmm...I think that made sense.

Really to be blunt. it's stupid. But then again i own numerous Save the Whales and Save the Rain forest shirts and this shirt seems to me to almost be making FUN of people who have the original shirts. Does that make any sense?

I don't find this funny or offensive.
If you think about it, it's just a straight gal wearing a straight t-shirt.
It isn't any different to any of us wearing a pride t-shirt.
That's my opinion anyway.

You will only expect a few words - what will those be? When the heart is full it may run over, but the real fullness stays within... Words can never tell you, however, - form them, transform them anyway, - how perfectly dear you are to me - perfectly dear to my heart and soul.

I find it offensive too. Like, I understand why it doesn't bug all of you. But it bugs me. :/

I personally, find it insulting.. It not exactly what it says but it's what it doesn't say... By saying to save the humans it's saying to stop being gay...

Okay, so now I see where you are coming from.
I guess I just interpreted it differently from the rest of you guys.
EDIT: I still don't see the big deal in it.

Also, if i went round with a tee that had a girl and girl holding hands (or in a dude's case two dudes holding hands), saying " Stop Overpopulation" i would get so much shit for it.. But i wouldn't wear it cause it's discrimination against straight people. So just because the tee agrees with the majority doesn't make it right..

I think the shirt can be interpreted several different ways.
I think it's kind of a satirical take on the 'Save the Whales' shirts and stuff. It's like: 'save the humans, have sex' kind of thing.
Quite honestly, I find it quite amusing. I think the shirt can be taken several different ways, and some of them being offensive, but when I saw it I thought of the above, lol.
Also it's kind of ironic because of the overpopulation thing.

I'm confused about what message it's trying to convey.
I can think of a few possible meanings off the top of my head.

Be I Mary; for the contrariness of my opinion stands thus: offence, by none other than principal, I refuse to take.
(I find it a source of ceaseless irony that the people who propagate anti-parasexuality tend so consistently to be also those people whose beliefs include that the purpose and meaning of a moral life are absolutely departed from the Darwinian urges of our precedents.)

Everyone calm down. It's not exactly the most offensive thing you can ever have come across, seriously?
