I know this has nothing to do with cutting but... I was on the computer and I had this [
http://chalise.homestead.com/files/dearbush.gif ] on the screen and my dad said "I don't know about that." Which I found really weird because we've talked about that before. I came back from church with Beth a couple weeks ago and on the car ride home, somehow Beth, her dad and I got onto the subject of AIDS. And then homosexuality came up. And it kinda pissed me off because her dad was really... uncool about it. I stated that I thought that you can be born gay. And I also admitted that there
are those people who
choose to be gay (and sometimes that's for the "status" or to get attention which disgust me). But anyway, he was like "No, it's myth that you're born gay. It's a sin, blah blah blah." Ok, I have a few different opinions.
If you should choose between being beaten up and possibly killed for being gay (like Matthew Shepherd) or being straight and having a happier life, I think you'd chose to be straight. And also, my dad and I were talking about it and he had reason to believe that homosexuality can be genetic. He said something about X and Y chromosomes or something about hybrids? I can't remember, but anyway. And I was talking to someone else and he said almost every species of animals can be homophobic.
And if being gay is a sin, why would God even bother to create you? I mean, I'm not religious what so ever, but I do believe in God but I don't always agree with some religious beliefs. Some people say that men aren't "meant" to be attracted to other men, but I think that if someone is gay, God probably meant for them to be that way.
But when my dad said that he didn't agree with that banner, I was completely thrown off. The banner is exactly right. Love has nothing to do with gender, race, religion, or anything.
LOVE IS LOVE. God, what is wrong with people? If being gay makes you happy, there's nothing wrong with that. And if you're a male in love with another male, or maybe the other way around, there's nothing wrong with that.
Sorry I just rambled so much, but I wanted to get that off my chest and maybe see some other peoples' opinion on the subject.
