In this modern era, people think there is only one way of doing things. One way of being human. One way of life. A way people try and show this is by judging sexuality. This is only one of the ways that prejudice rules the world. Sexuality is how we dress, how we act, how we think.. and it's also what genders we're attracted to. In this world, the young people use "gay" or "homosexual" as an insult. True, I have grown up with these people, who think that being yourself is unacceptable. But I think that being yourself is a good thing. I have many homosexual or bisexual friends, and I can say that they are just like you or me. They just have different sexual orientations. See, people decide that just because a person likes a member of the same sex, that they are somehow dis-human in a way. They feel threatened. They feel like they have a disease, that they might catch.
As an example, Russia's anti-gay laws have affected the country to a huge extent. Laws against sexuality are a violation of human rights. People are people. And if a person cannot be with the person they love, how can they go on pretending everything's fine?
They can't.
Another reason I brought this up is because I think that homosexuality is used in terrible ways. I have a really close friend who was called gay because he never found the perfect girl for him. He started believing it. But now he's a talented musician, half trained in psychology, a magician, and he's found the love of his life. People use homosexuality to make people feel small, and drive them to the edge. To pick up the gun, and place it to their temple. The problem is that even with all this proof that sexuality doesn't make you a terrible person, people still judge. They always judge.
Hopefully America wakes up.
