I simply can’t understand people who can look at someone and judge them based on something as trivial as the color of their skin, their gender or their sexual orientation. In my eyes, these things are as unimportant as hair color, or eye color. It’s one small piece of information that absolutely does not tell you everything there is to know about that person.
I have friends who are gay and I see the pain they feel everyday day with being called a “faggot” or some other immature and hurtful word. The way I see it, if a man isn’t comfortable being around gay men, that man isn’t comfortable with his own sexuality and it has more to do with the person saying the word, than the person whom it was directed at.
I’ve learned that being gay isn’t something you can change. It’s just the way you’re born. People who believe gay’s can be “cured” need a serious wake up call.
I know one person in particular hasn’t become open about being gay because he knows that his parents will no longer speak with him once they find out. I’ve told him time and time again that if they aren’t going to speak to their own son simply because of the gender he is attracted to, then they don’t deserve to have him as a part of their lives.
Some of my very best friends are gay or bisexual, girls and boys alike. Some I found out about after we became friends, and some I knew about before we were friends. I don’t see any bit of difference, and I know that my life wouldn’t be the same without them.
Gay, straight, Black, white, woman, man, Christian, Buddhist, atheist.
In my eyes we’re all people, and we all deserve a chance to find true happiness.
