‘Yesterday, I was at work, an intelligent woman customer of ours came in and immediately began to complain about the appointment of the openly gay bishop. She says it’s a sin and it’s “…just horrible! If I were of that faith, I’d leave it!”. The more disturbing thing was that my Boss agreed with her! Then I realized that I’d never written about my feelings about gay people here. So I will.
I’m of the mind that gay people are just like me. Honestly. They breathe the same air, they eat the same food. Shit, they even look like me. Why then, do so many people think that being gay is a sin? Is being black a sin, because we (Americans) sure punished them enough for that. So what’s so wrong with being gay? We know for a fact that animals are gay sometimes. If you’re religious (and it seems that only ‘faithful’ or ‘spiritual’ people have problems with the homosexual members of our society), then God makes all animals. They have no free will like humans. They don’t just decide to be gay one day, God makes them that way. If God makes animals gay, then why is it wrong for humans to be gay?
Homosexuals are human. In being Human, one gets to have a hypothalamus. It’s also been proven that male and female hypothalamus are vastly different, and that a gay and transvestite person’s hypothalamus more closely approximate the opposite gender. So, being homosexual is biological. Which to me is a big fat DUH, because animals don’t have the choice. They don’t wake up in the morning and go “You know, I think I’ll like men from now on.” Neither do people. It’s not a choice, it’s something that happens, like it or not. Besides, who on earth would CHOOSE such a hard life? Why in hell would someone WANT to be outcast, ridiculed, hated, feared.. etc?
President Bush wants to keep homosexual marriages from happening. Why? If it’s not wrong, then they are no different than the rest of us. Prohibiting gay marriages is like prohibiting black marriages because they look different than us. It’s like forcing people to marry inside the religions because the different ones are bad. It’s just ridiculous and hateful. Homosexuals are people too, and all people deserve to be happy. If getting married to a member of the same sex makes you happy, then it should happen! The knowledge that people can just nitpick everything and aren’t happy unless they find someone to hate just makes me sick.
