Sometimes I honestly can't stand my family's attitude about gay people. They claim to not be racist or prejudiced or anything like that, but then, they make comments about how disgusting a show like Modern Family is because it depicts two gay men in a loving, committed relationship raising a child. Honestly, why do you care? There are gay people in the world. Being gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transsexual or anything else that is different from heterosexual does not make someone evil or abnormal.
Because, guess what? THERE IS NO NORMAL!!!
Everyone is different and that's a beautiful thing. If everyone were the same, life would be boring.
EVERYONE should have the right to love. I'm sorry if my family disagrees, but that is how I feel.
What gets me is that they have no problem seeing a heterosexual couple kiss in front of their faces, but if they see a gay couple kiss on television it's nothing but: "Oh my God! Oh my God!" in disgusted tones of voice.
I know I've ranted about this before, so I apologize if this is getting old, but damn. I hate that my family can be so homophobic in the name of Christianity. It's not right. It hurts, and it makes me feel worth less as a person. I've never liked to put labels on my sexuality. I like who I like, whether they are male, female, transgendered or gender-neutral. I appreciate people that make me safe and valued for all of myself.
I'm thankful every day that I have friends, because without them, sometimes it would be very hard to continue living. I feel sorry for anyone who can't see the beauty that exists in all forms of love,. and I can only pray that one day, their eyes will be opened.
