PRIDE MONTH...
I didn't know that June is Gay Pride month. YaY my birthday month! I don't keep up with very much and I just found this out last night. I know I'm slow, but at least I'm learning. I wish that we (as a nation) would finally figure out that being gay is not a threat. Obviously I am not gay but I can empathize with those who are. I can not imagine the every day struggles they face. Be it personally or at the work place. I don't understand why so many people are offended by same sex marriages. I think people loving each other is a wonderful thing and it should be encouraged. I don't understand why they want to ban the marriages. That is so hurtful and hateful. I have a couple that lives 2 doors down from me. They are very nice people with a nice house and a nice dog. They are no different than us except they don't have kids. I often wonder if one of them (God forbid) were to end up in the ICU, would the other one not be able to come in because they are not "blood related". That's stupid! I often think about how they are discriminated against. That's wrong. Our nation fails so many people, for what?!!? Does this make people feel better about themselves because they stopped a marriage between a same sex couple? What about getting insurance and other perks from their partner's place of employment. I don't understand the thinking (or should I say NON-thinking) behind all this. What others do in their private life does not and has not ever affected the way I live. I have been teaching my children since they were little that being gay is just a part of life. Either you are born that way or you aren't. It's not something you "fix" it is what it is.
For all the small minded pinheads out there, just think about why you are against the whole community of people that only want to have the same rights as you.
Are you threatened?
Are you so far in the closet that you refuse to admit the fact that you are gay?
What is it?
Why do you feel the need to hate?
Fill me in because I am obviously missing something. Oh and I am so glad I am missing something.
