"I support the radically simple idea that people should not be discriminated against, made fun of, restricted, or oppressed because of the size and shape of their bodies. Moreover, I believe that everyone has a right to dignity, respect, and self-love, and that jokes that denigrate fat people are just as offensive as those that denigrate women or ethnic groups."

"Fat is the last great acceptable prejudice.
Well, no more, not for me nor any of mine. I do not want to hear about your latest weight-loss scheme; I will not make self-deprecating jokes about my size, nor tolerate them being played out in my presence; I will not live on salad forever as penance for my shape; you should NOT assume I would rather be thin and am "just fooling myself", nor should you assume that I consume large quantities of junk food and never exercise (you'd be wrong in all three cases); I will challenge the assumption that fat people are stupid, clumsy, lacking in personal hygeine, and bad in bed (you'd REALLY be wrong there); and you definitely better make sure I get equal access to everything life has to offer, or there will be hell to pay."

I encourage you all to help spread awareness. Below is the link to the stamp template I've used here. Take 30 minutes out of your day and make a stamp - speak out against hate and discrimination. You don't have to make a stamp about this issue - It can be any issue that you feel very strongly about (Though I have to admit I would love to see more size acceptance stamps like this here on DA).
