I'm not usually one to post things like this, but it has really pulled on a string inside. Someone who for the sakes of his own embarrassment and dignity I am going to call dragon, said to me today that "it is people like me that are burning this country to the ground by accepting and thinking it is ok" and of course dragon was talking about homosexuality.
I understand that people are entitled to their opinions and views about things and I think as a country, we are lucky to have the freedom of speech, but there is a stage where some views just sound completely idiotic and are just not acceptable. But this was said to me in a very aggressive and unnecessary way which upset me a lot!
This all began when an advertisement for a new series called Banana came on TV and dragon immediately asked for the channel to be changed over as he "couldn't stand watching something that sick on TV" so immediately I said 'sorry what century do we live in????' and this is when Dragon became outraged and started blurting out fireballs of idiocy. This was when he then said to me that "i'm burning this country to the ground, its sick and disgusting and it shouldn't be allowed" I just had to leave the room as I had no words for what he was saying, I was so shocked and outraged that I went up to my room and began to cry with anger!
Homosexuality is something that is very close to my heart. I have two extremely amazing friends that are both gay. One being female and one being male and we will call these two people awesome1 and awesome2 because these people are truly AMAZING and I love them both A LOT!
Now awesome is my best friend, I have known her since year 8 and in year 9 (I think it was) correct me awesome if i'm wrong, she actually told me she was gay. I had no issues with this what so ever, as long as she was happy and quite frankly I thought she was the bravest person on the planet because it takes a lot of courage to 'come out' at a young age. She is extremely brave for many other reasons, we've been through a lot together and I don't know where I would be without her, she's a truly amazing human being and I know she is a friend for life.
Now Awesome 2 I haven't known for as long but he is also amazing, he makes me laugh til i'm nearly peeing every time I see him. I actually asked awesome if he was gay because he already thought I knew! (I kinda did but I wanted to make sure haha you sneaky devil awesome 2) but he's one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I know and I miss him a lot when he's away working at his dream of dance! YOU GO GIRLFRIEND (watermelon)
But the point of this is...is that these people are no different from ANYONE else. Of course they are both unique in their own little ways but they have skin, organs, brains and most of all a HEART just like you and me, and I cannot understand WHY liking or even loving someone of the same sex differs these people from you and me... IT DOESN'T and people need to understand this. LOVE is LOVE and who cares if that love is found with a person of the same sex. Both awesome1 and awesome2 have AMAZING partners and I can guarantee that they're 50x happier than dragon. If it came down to it, I'm sure if dragons life was in danger he wouldn't turn down an organ or blood from a homosexual and this is what angers me.. that people think it is ok to disapprove of these people when they are no different from them (apart from the fact their views probably aren't as idiotic....maybe dragon could do with a brain or heart from these people???)
So I'll answer my own question...
What century do we live in when people STILL cannot accept people for who they are????
A STUPID ONE.
