to start off, i have to say that what im saying is merely my opinion. you dont have to agree with it, nor even like it. but i choose to practice my freedom of speech. so if you disagree with what i say, then feel free to stop reading.
living in an asian community we were always thought to never go against socially accepted noms. infact we were supposed to go with the "follow" and never do anything that would shed unwanted spotlight on to your family. so that's how we lived. never wearing to short or too tight because people would call you a slut if you did. sneaking around to go out late. hiding the fact that you have a boyfriend from your parents. the list goes on and on.
so seeing as how (i dont want to use the word narrow minded, but...) narrow minded people in society can be, the word homosexuality seems to be a taboo in many household, mine included. ( you really don't want to know the amount of arguments i get into with my father about this)
it's seems like the worst thing a child can tell their parents is that they are gay. And this always leaves me questioning why? why is it so bad that your son or daughter loves someone? why would you rather your child marry a person they don't love just because you rather it be the opposite sex?
now this all brings them to answer one thing, religion. A great percentage of religions around the world don't accept homosexuality. now im not saying they discriminate, im just saying they don't accept it.
since im a christian, i can only tell you i have been told based on christian teachings.
now im not going to go into the nitty gritty details about why christians are so against gays (again im not saying everyone) but i will say it's because according to them, the 'bible says so'.
interesting enough they should bring up the bible. now let me ask, do you even know how the bible came about?
well i did my research( because im a lifeless bitch that doesnt know what to do with my life) and turns out that the bible was formed due to a politic reasoning. to make it short, the different types of christian movements were fighting claiming their teachings to be the right one. so all this 'leaders' came together to come up with a solution, and they did. they decided to collect the scriptures and to compile they into a book called the bible. now not all scriptures were chosen, many and im talking thousands that are safely locked in the vatican for no one to read. so only the ones deemed worthy were chosen.
so to base an argument on the bible is practically invalid, because not only is the bible WRITTEN by men but also CHOSEN by men. what lies in the many scriptures hidden away from the world? we will never know, there might be things in there supporting homosexuality. there might be! who are you to say isn't?
ok say i decide to comply and accept your argument based on the bible, then let me pose you this, i KNOW God is always about love , then why according to you will God not accept a person because he LOVES another man?why would God suddenly not accept a person, his son for being who he is, for being what God made him?
which brings us to our second argument, people saying being gay is unnatural, that it goes against the laws of nature. well did you know that homosexuality is present in FOUR HUNDRED spices on the planet? in fact dolphins and primates are know to show more homosexual tendencies than 'straight' ones. so if it's so against nature, then why are animals gay as well? did they magically "decide" they wanted to rebel from their pack and fuck a man? seriously, do you hear yourself sometimes?! animals does things that come naturally to them, they do things because they HAVE to. so if being gay is so unnatural, then please go tell this 400 spieces of animals that they are "going against" nature. homosexuality is present in 400 spices on earth, but homophobia is only present in one, humans. you do the math.
then many will come up and say that gays are the reason AIDS spread so rapidly. get your head out of the gutters and know that AIDS started because of a man deciding to fuck and ape. not through fucking a man. AIDS only spread through men IF AND ONLY IF one of the man already have AIDS. so don't blame gays for starting and spreading AIDS, blame the men that couldn't control his urges and fucked a goddamn ape! besides AIDS can also be spread through men and women as long as they their bloods come in contact. so why not stop everyone from having sex as well then? it will admit that AIDS spreads easier through gays, that's because they bleed more when they do it,but that is why people created a thing called condoms! use it. disease spread everywhere, everyday people die from all sorts of disease, so why only single out AIDS and blame the gays for it? find a way to stop all the diseases in the world then come and start pointing fingers.
some even say that gays are wrong because they cant reproduce. true, gays can't reproduce, but so can't some of the women out there. so are they so called sinners as well? the reason people last time place so much importance on having lots of children, it because the death rates were sky high. so they needed to "replenished" people. now our world is in fact over populating, so shouldn't we want less people? and like i said there are men and women who cant have children. are they doomed to eternal damnation as well? they're not? then why discriminate and hate the gays but not the men and women?
i don't intend to change anyone's opinion on gays based on the post. i just want people to be more accepting. no hate. you dont have to agree with their lifestyle, they dont want your acceptance , they just want to be able to live without feeling like outcast and sinners. who are were too call people sinners? aren't we ourselves a sinner? only God has the right to make that decision on who is right and who is wrong, not us. God is advocate of love, so as his followers shouldn't we spread love as well.
im not jabbing at anyone through this. you are entitled to your opinion and i am mine. and i am not in anyway jabbing hatred to my religion. i am a christian. i love god... but there is somethings i dont agree with and im not afraid to question because i believe the only way to strength faith is through knowledge. so unless you have a solid and very good reason why homosexuals are wrong, i shall continue supporting them.
SPREAD LOVE NOT HATE! :)
