Antescript - It's 4:30 in the morning so I apologize beforehand for any mistakes I make, as I woke up, checked my phone, and felt the urge to defend my homosexual brothers and sisters, along with what I take pride in being. I want to just clear up a few errors in judgement, and I'm not going to quote anyone. I'm just going to respond in general to those who aren't necessarily living in 2013.
First of all, some of you treat homosexuality like a disease. I can attest for all homosexuals that we did not just wake up one day and decide to start liking the same sex. Why would we even get the slightest inclination to do that? To be so generalized and disliked is not fun, but the haters make us stronger because we're all united for a common cause.
Also, some of you believe that not having access to marriage is going to stop us from enjoying the true aspects of love. Marriage means nothing. It's just a piece of paper. We've become so accustomed to not having marriage rights that believe me, we can live without it. In my honest opinion, gay relationships are much stronger than heterosexual relationships because we struggle through so much more to find and keep love, whereas heterosexual couples are getting divorced left and right. Oh wait, isn't divorce a sin in your lovely Bibles? Or is that conveniently overlooked when it suits you?
How absurd to think that homosexuals are all pedophiles, child molesters, and just subhumans who have no idea how to be parents. How crazy the idea that studies have proven that most homosexual couples raise children who end up heterosexuals. How sad to think that children raised by homosexuals will most likely end up becoming a lot more approving of those people who don't fit the outrageous norms set by society. Yup, we're doing it all wrong. We're defying all the laws of nature! I suggest preparing the jail cells, electric chairs, and lethal injections.
Wake up, people. Gay rights is on the political agenda for many countries across the world. Homosexuals are not subhumans. Sexuality should not and does not define a person, but rather just who they love. I respect your religious beliefs, but it's not healthy for those beliefs to cloud your common sense and moral judgment. I pity you, because we are living in a world where gay marriage will eventually become the norm, where basic human rights will finally be granted to everyone, and how lamentable it is to think that you will not take part in the celebrations because of some ridiculous principles.
I addressed this post to only a select few who have posted on this thread. To all of you who are vocal advocates, you don't understand how great it is to see all the support pouring out from every single one of you, because it really shows that there is still faith in humanity. You are all the reason why we end up becoming accepting of who we are, why we continue fighting a battle we never agreed on entering. It's unfortunate that a thread created to celebrate something like this has turned into a debate, but it's refreshing to see people willing to defend the LGBT community to the utmost. If only you guys could be running our governments. ;) I thank you. <3
