Gay people go through alot more than people may think. People don't give thought to this usually because they are the butt of almost every joke and outcasts to heterosexual people, which are considered the "norm". Theres people out there who say that they are fine with gay people as long as they keep it secret or hidden. This is almost as ignorant as the people who bash it. Saying this is like restricting someone to express their love. How would you feel if you couldn't kiss someone or hug someone you love in front of everyone?
It is not a mental illness as some people may think. People in the 70's put homosexuality in that category since it was different from what was accepted by society. People see homosexuals as perverts or child molestors. Just as many heterosexuals molest children as gay people, maybe more. I do not know why, but some people think being gay is a choice. It is most definitely not. It's heterosexuals who say this too, let me ask heterosexuals a question, if one day you decided to be homosexual, you may try it, but I highly doubt you will enjoy it, unless you discovered you are bisexual.
******. I hear this word echoed in the halls of my school everyday. Used loosely, never thinking of an impact it may have on someone. In my book, calling a gay person a "******" is just as bad as calling a black person a "nigger". It hurts all the same.
You know, I hear people preach about how everyone deserves the right to be free. Then later I hear them make a cruel joke. Don't tell me, "oh, what, we can't make jokes?". Theres a difference between a joke and someone mindlessly saying something hurtful. Everyone deserves the right to freedom of expression without limitation.
I'm for gay rights and stuff, as if it isn't obvious already. But I never really saw the point in gay pride parades. I asked someone one day...and they told me. Gay pride parades are gay peoples way of expressing themselves, being truly free. Their way of saying, "we're here, and we're not going away.".
I believe theres now new evidence that indicates that homosexuality is due to the number of chromosomes someone has or something like that. Don't quote me on it, but that's what I heard.
As for the limp wristed lisp talking image of males, and the masculine identity of females, these are stereotypes. Never listen to stereotypes. Saying all gay people are like that is like saying Satanists sacrifice virgins and condone drug use. That is a stereotype created partly by the Christian church and rebellious teenagers. Yes, there are quite a bit of gay people like this, but that does not mean every single one is. Most are ordinary people. As for males acting more feminine, I think it's because since they like men, they feel more comfortable with their feminine nature than a heterosexual does. Same can be said about lesbians.
Are you that insecure of your masculinity that you have to hate something you don't understand?
Picture this, you are a teenager in school. You are gay. You want to come out, so bad. So bad it hurts....but what stops you is fear. Fear that if you do let it out that for the rest of your school days you will be picked on severely, beaten up, and maybe even disowned by your friends.
You have a crush on the member of the same sex, like anyone else, you want to tell them, or write them a little note.....but you can't. That person may not be gay, and by telling them, you may let your secret out. Theres alot of gay teenagers who are also kicked out of their homes because of this. Just because they are gay, they are kicked out of their own homes by their own parents who have raised them their whole lives.
It is now a fact that "coming out" as in, making it known to everyone that the person is gay or bisexual, is one of the hardest things a person will do in their life.
Many people rely on the bible for backing up their ignorance for homosexuals. I don't want to bash anyones religion, but a book that was written a few thousand years ago, that could have been written by ANYONE is not going to save you in an argument about whether the sexuality of someone is right or wrong. I'm sorry, it's stupid to think it will.
If I approached someone and we talked, and started to become friends, you know. Then the subject comes up, then I tell them im gay or bisexual. What would they think of me? Would it change their opinion? This shouldn't even be an issue, people shouldn't even have to worry about this.
Many people tell me, "Why must it be a hate crime and punished more severely for picking on a gay person, everybody gets picked on and beat up for it." Let's say, you're a redhead. I'm not picking on any redheads for this, im just relating something like this to homosexuality. No one has asked that you rethink your membership in an organization because you are a red head, no one has told you that you make them uncomfortable because your hair is red. No one has hassled you to get out of a bar or public place because you're a redhead. If you have red hair, dye it, you have acne, get some pro active. I'm sorry, but things like that, little things, like that, can be taken care of. Gay people can't just stop being gay, it's not possible, and who are you to say they should? What right do you have to tell ANYONE they should change because you don't like it?
I think it's foolish and childish to make fun of someone based on their sexuality. Many people don't even have a reason to hate gays. They just do it because they're parents, religious leaders, and friends say so. Well, all I have to say is stop being a sheep. Stop blindlessly following the herd to be safe. Stop and think for yourself. Be a wolf, a wolf is sometimes lonely, and an outcast. But the wolf is free. The wolf stalks the herd of cowards in the dark. The Wolf Is An Individual.
I end this with saying, Ignorance may be bliss, but it tears others around you to pieces.....
