Homosexuals, that is. Obviously they're evil and out to convert everyone to their wretched ways.
Obviously.
Now, before you go off and start hating, this is not my opinion. It's my fathers.
I can't blame him for having opinions that differ from mine. I don't see why people being homosexual is wrong in any way. Love is love, and we're lucky if we can find it, no matter who from. Dad thinks "It's wrong." with no reasons as to why. I said that, with all the over-population that the world has, homosexuals aren't having children (generally. Also, I think that people can be homosexual for any reason they like, but I was trying to appeal to his sense of reason). He says that they adopt other peoples children and teach them ways that are wrong. I think the only kind of 'wrong' parenting is done by parents who don't love their children properly. If a kid has two moms or two dads, that shouldn't be a problem, so long as the parents love and support their child properly. If kids are being adopted and loved, that's a good thing.
And who's to say that he wasn't the one who was raised right? Because I'm willing to believe that he wasn't exactly raised in an accepting environment.
If being with someone of your same sex makes you happy, then there is nothing wrong with it. As long as your happiness doesn't require hurting another person, then there should never be something wrong with it. I don't know why it has to be such a big deal. Can't we all just accept eachother?
Tonight I'll be singing with my choir at an event hosted by my School's GSA (Gay Straight Alliance). And I am proud to show my support for them. I'm glad that my school is open and accepting enough to have such a group. And I think that it would be a good idea for all schools to have one, or an equivalent. By ignoring or hating what is different among ourselves, we become weaker. Acceptance and love, people.
I'm saying this as a straight female. I have a good friend who's a lesbian. My sisters best friend is gay. There's absolutely no need to feel threatened by the sexuality of others. We're all just people, ya know?
My dad is like that too.
ReplyDeleteI got so mad at him the other night because he said and I quote, "If you ever bring a gay person home then I can tell you they'll have to leave right away. I don't want that nastiness in my home."
It just...ugh. I didn't even know what to say.
I accept people of differing sexualities, but I'm not going to lie and say that children they may raise turn out just like any other kid, because a lot of them get teased and don't understand why they've come from such a "different" environment. There are a lot of bad gay parents as well.
ReplyDeleteQui, Yeah.It can be hard to know how to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteMonica, I know, but a lot of that teasing wouldn't exist if things were more accepted. And I'm not saying every gay parent is a good one. Nor is every traditional parent. It's just that it isn't necessarily harmful.
