Oh, boy, is this gonna upset some of you.
To all the crowds out there with those picket signs and griping protests, all the politicians lobbying to legalize gay marriage, and all the closet homosexuals worrying about how their parents will view their own children; you should be ashamed of yourselves. What you’re doing is just plain wrong.
“Homosexuals ask for the right to the pursuit of happiness!” Are you kidding me?
Since when have homosexuals become a different species?
Give up, already. Every time you demand for a signed document granting liberty to love your own gender, you’re suggesting that sexual orientation is not a part of universal human rights. Have faith that it’s always been a part of your freedoms, and is not a matter of a few government officials. Realize that, sometimes, ideals can be beyond mankind. Else, you’re just as bad as the conservatives out there who aspire for all individuals to live along the same rigid ideals.
The streets that you’ve congested with clever slogans and chants only mirror what your critics do. It makes me wonder, ‘Not everyone can be changed, so why you are so stubborn?’ You call for them to be open-minded and accepting, yet become infuriated with those who oppose the idea. Just let them believe in what makes them happy. After all, everyone grips onto different perspectives, because we are all only human.
As for every gay guy and lesbian who stresses over coming out; you’re only feeding the fear that social norms has placed on dissimilarities. Break that barrier, and tell your friends and family with all the courage you can muster. If others see that someone's willing to live with different choices in society, they might do the same. Move on from those who refuse to be accepting, because I’m sure you would want the Church to stop pestering you.
So, please, stop petitioning for the end of Proposition 8 and start promoting the idea that, in the end, we’re all gonna need to live alongside mixed beliefs. Learn to see things from different points of view, even if it’s disagreeable. Otherwise, you’re no better than the homophobe living next door.
Now, wouldn’t that upset you?

I would only disagree with one thing you wrote. I personally don't agree with gay marriage, but I also feel if people want to actively promote that and try to change the laws that is their right. I will work just as hard at keeping marriage defined as between one man and one woman. What I have found in discussing gay marriage is that most supporters of gay marriage don't care why others disagree with it. They seem to assume everyone is homophobic and go from there. Try to learn why people oppose it and see if there is a middle ground.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great response! I agree that there are always two sides to a story, and many problems arise from us refusing to acknowledge that. I guess, from a broader view, it falls on what society deems to be within ethical bounds. i.e: While it's the right of the people to present their view, how would you feel if a group was advocating for slavery (Perhaps of Americans)? It's certainly a sticky situation.
ReplyDeleteWell there are two sides to the story, I agree with you Jacky .. but I for one am not opposed for gay people to have the right to get married.. I'm very open minded about that.. and i think that everyone should start accepting rather than rejecting gay people in our society and treat them as they themselves want to be treated..
