This world breaks my heart.
I don't hate homophobic people, as I refuse to be on their level, but they break my heart into a million tiny pieces. Why should you treat me any different than you do my friends just because I am attracted to the opposite sex? My friends are the same as me: human. Just like you. Why should you treat them as otherwise? People have the right to love and marry. Marry whomever they choose. I'm so sick of people acting so pretentious and thinking they have the right to say who should who. Who are you to judge? Do you think you're so high and mighty? Because last time I checked your name wasn't "God." and, yes. I do believe in God. And I believe he loves everyone that he has ever made equally no matter race, sex or sexual preference. This is why I left the Catholic church. I attended Catholic school for 9 years (10 if you count my short-lived stay at Carroll) and I was taught that God loved all his children-unless they were gay. To be fair, it wasn't the teachers who taught me that, it was others in the community such as the youth pastor, the priest and parents through their actions. I'm just lucky I had a mother who taught me to be open-minded and loving. I realize that if my father had actually been there when I was growing up, his influence mayhave changed the view I so strongly believe in, but he wasn't. And I believe that it happened that way for a reason.
I just wish people would realize that they don't have the right to judge. I know that it's only a matter of time before gay marriage is legal, and in thirty years they'll look back and think that it was really sick and ridiculous that it was ever an issue. I can't wait for that day.
