I love this. I’ve always thought it’s ridiculous when people judge others for who they love. It seems people so adamantly against gay marriage or gayness in general only see genders. They see a man and a man or a woman and a woman and think, “nope. Wrong,” as if the two just couldn’t possibly match together (sidenote: a protester at my college once “proved” gayness was wrong because magnets only fit together when opposite sides are touching. What the actual hell? Nice proof. That would definitely be accepted in the scientific community, seeing as people are the same as magnets). Anyway, I guess I just don’t really see attraction or love or relationships strictly in terms of genders. I mean, sure, most people tend to stick with one. Who knows, maybe that’s because there is something inherent in us which steers us one way. Lack of a gay gene, presence of a straight gene, or a whatever gene. But maybe that’s just because we happen to meet people of the opposite sex that we just click with throughout our lives. I do believe some people seem to be born gay. I know boys who have grown up acting as “typical” little boys do, except when it comes time to chase girls, avoid girls’ cooties, and pick out that one cute freckled one with the braid, they seem to be a bit more interested by the other boys. Come middle school or high school they already know who they’re attracted to, and not once has it been a girl. But I also know those who grow up dating one gender, only to find a special person who makes them change their mind. At least for a time. This person’s post kind of reminded me of that. So who cares if some people seem to be born gay or if they decide somewhere later on or if they have a one time thing with someone of the same sex. Attraction is attraction. And as far as I can tell, it’s pretty possible for people to be attracted to anyone. I think love is finding a soul that complements your own. A kindred spirit. Who’s to say what kind of body it will be inside?

I will tell you. It’s when people who claim to be so close to and loved by their God, yet spew nothing but ignorance and unjustified hatred (don’t get me wrong– by no means do I mean ALL religious folks. In fact, sometimes religion isn’t even a factor in this debate. It just seems to usually be the justification). Anyway, it’s not even that they are forced to be exposed to gayness. They go out of their way to find outlets to vomit out utter stupidity, claiming that gay is “shoved down their throats” and “will cause their children to grow up in a toxic world.” Why are you so threatened by someone else’s marriage? Are you THAT insecure in your own sexuality that the mere presence of a married gay couple could crumble your own relationship/marriage? I can only pray to all that is good in this world that our backwards, hypocritical, middle age-minded world population can just suck it up and accept that happiness, can you believe it, oh my god, does indeed come in various forms. Sometimes I see things that just make me so upset I don’t even know what to do. It hurts my heart that to be gay today still means to be persecuted. And I’m not even one who has to deal with it.
