I am sure everyone read this article this week as it circled through all the websites this week. But of course you know I fully support the LGBT community so I couldn't just not talk about it.
If you haven't read it then I'll give you the rundown. Basically what happened was the man writing the letter was writing it to his daughter who kicked her son out because he was gay. He basically tells her that she is the abomination in the family, not her son. That his grandson was born that way and it wasn't just a choice that he made. He disowns his own daughter because she disowned her son for being gay.
I thought this letter was a AMAZING. It is hard for me to understand how people can think being gay is a choice. It's not. They are born that way! If it is possible for people to be born with a number of genetic disorders, if you can be born with your heart outside of your chest then why is it so hard for people to believe that there are people born gay, or bisexual? There are so many things that can happen to a baby in those first 9 months of their lives that can cause them to be "not normal" so why is it people cant believe that one of those things could be that a person is gay?
We as humans are so afraid of stuff that we don't understand, or stuff that is different that we shame anything that we do not understand. Why? Because we are scared? So what! It's ok to be scared, its ok to not understand everything, but it is not ok to make others feel bad because you do not understand them! It is not ok to shame others because they don't think or act the same way you do!
You see all of these anti bully campaigns out there saying they are trying to set an example for young children, yet we as adults still cant set an example on how to not bully others. So you can't bully someone because they are slow, or fat, or skinny, or ugly, but you can bully someone because they are gay? No. It doesn't work like that. People need to start realizing this and start setting an example for their children.
If you don't want to see to men or two women doing it then don't watch that version of porn, because it is unlikely that you will see those two men or women that gave each other a simple kiss in the corner will all of sudden start humping like animals out in public. Why should it affect you what they do in their own home? It doesn't! So get the fuck over it!
I admire this man who wrote this letter and I hope that each day another person can stand up for someone who was treated badly because he or she is gay. Maybe one day we can finally as a whole say that we accept the LGBT community, I know that day is far out but it gives me something to look forward too.
