So today I saw a link on my best friend Madison Kimrey's facebook. I'm not a big reader so i didn't read the article she had shared. Though i did read the title and it got me thinking. The title was "'Gay Is Okay But Gross' Is Homophobia, Too." Now, I am a supporter of gay rights. I have many LGBT friends. They are people too and it sickens me to even think of a person thinking less of another based merely because of their sexuality. Equality is my life and this needs to be fixed.
Homophobes are people too and I do not think less of them because of their beliefs, but for a person to tell another they are less of a person is not right and I do not support that.Homophobia is normal, but so is homosexuality. Earlier i said it sickened me to think of this (Homophobia) as normal. Homophobes say they are sickened by homosexuality.
The problem is, it is NORMAL. What i see as gross is that people can't respect each other for the most simple things. You read from a book that you believe the creator wrote that homosexuality is a "sin." I respect your beliefs, I do not judge. But I DO NOT RESPECT YOUR DISRESPECT TOWARDS ANOTHER. Saying love is gross? I say your hatred is gross. Homophobia is gross. Calm. Down.
Is love not allowed anymore? What has this come to? Respect each other. If everyone was the same how could you tell us apart? Just because a person doesn't believe in the same thing that you do does not mean you can harm them. Think of how much you're hurting them. Is that right?
Homophobia is not okay.
Love the blog post. <3 For all sexualities I see sweet little kisses in public as cute but when it looks like you are trying to eat the other person's face, not so much. Society has been desensitized to the groping, leg up on the hip kissing for heterosexual couples yet not so for homosexual couples due to all of that is tv shows, books, movies, magazines etc that have incredibly sexualized heterosexuals in love or rather just "getting around". It's incredibly hard to find any popular tv show, movie, book, magazine article that popular and about homosexual couples. Society has learned Homophobia the same as it's learned Racism. It is time to unlearn so our eyes lose the veil that is obscuring their vision.
