Should It Matter?

In love, there are many trials and tribulations. There are people that will be happy for you and your love, and there are others that will condemn you. When a stranger condemns you for your soul mate, you can just pass it by and say....whatever.

But.

When does it become too much?


Answer these questions:

1.) Are you hateful?

2.) What is your religion?

3.) Are you fearful of something that is different?

4.) Do you believe in love?

5.) Are you in love?

6.) Have you ever been in love?

7.) Do you think that Homosexuality is a disease?

8.) Is Homosexuality the same as murder?

9.) Would you demonstrate against Homosexuality at the funeral of a murdered Homosexual?

10.) Have you disliked a person just because of their sexuality?

and finally,

11.) Has the thought of "doing away" with all homosexuals ever crossed your mind?



Okay, answer me this:

From the 1870's to the late 1960's, African-Americans in America and particulary in the south, have been fighting for fair treatment and civil rights, EQUAL rights. There were people that killed blacks for the simple reason of being black. Almost 100 years.....they fought and gained their rights. Except for the "gaining their rights part" does this sound a little familiar?


Now, let me answer a few things:

Homosexuality is not a disease.
Love is love.
You do not "choose" to be gay or lebsian. It's who you are.
The way some people treat Gays and Lesbians are almost THE SAME as how some people treated African-Americans in the early 1900's, and yet, most black people are against it. Incredibly Ironic.
Christians, even though Homosexuality is a sin in the bible, you will STILL go to hell for murdering one.


Treat others the way you want to be treated? Some of you guys need to go back to elementary school for common manners. Religion says otherwise? Ah, I'm not going to get through to everyone like I want to, but for anyone this IS listening, I'm going to say one more thing:


Imagine you. You try to live your life. But, you are constantly turned down from jobs, housing, proper food service. People stay away from you. People look at you differently. People sneer, spit, curse, demean, and everything unimaginable to you. Then they kill you for not being like them. They beat your body so horrifically, cut you, shoot you, then leave your body on the side of the street, or in the river, or in a disgusting place. You can't even have a peaceful burial, they demonstrate and oppose buring you like A HUMAN, b/c they think that you are not human. You eventually get buried, but they desecrate your headstone, and sometimes, they are never caught.

Think about that before you think about gays and lesbians again.


OH! and you know what? This is all coming from a straight person......so that's says a lot for people that only think that homosexuals are the only people that agree with equal treatment.

1.) Are you hateful?
Only against stupid, ignorant, and intolerant people.
2.) What is your religion?
I don’t have one. I consider myself a good person, and I do live by a code. Just because I’m an atheist doesn’t mean I live by no morals – something many Christians seem to believe. The best part of Believe is the lie though, right in the middle.
3.) Are you fearful of something that is different?
No, I accept change as it comes, and different…well darling that’s just another way of saying wonderful.
4.) Do you believe in love?
Of course
5.) Are you in love?
Yes.
6.) Have you ever been in love?
A couple of times. I am now though, forever.
7.) Do you think that Homosexuality is a disease?
Absolutely not.
8.) Is Homosexuality the same as murder?
NO!
9.) Would you demonstrate against Homosexuality at the funeral of a murdered Homosexual?
I would never demonstrate against it at all. I would never act that way at a funeral for anyone either. With an exception of (if I could go back in time) Hitler’s funeral. I would have Nazi symbols crossed out EVERYWHERE.
10.) Have you disliked a person just because of their sexuality?
No.

and finally,

11.) Has the thought of "doing away" with all homosexuals ever crossed your mind?
No, it has not.

A little too familiar.


As for the rest, I agree.
