Homosexuality

Homosexuality is a romantic or sexual attraction to the people of one's own sex.

That's it.

It's not a sin, a mutation, a disease, or a flaw.

It's natural.

It's so natural, that it is found in over 450 species.

But there is one thing that IS unnatural, and it's found only in the human race: homophobia.

Gay Love is exactly the same as heterosexual love. It is just two people who love each other and who wish to be together. 

See this pictures? Do you see any difference? 

Last Friday during our TOK lesson, our teacher showed us a video of a radical group of people who say that everything that is wrong with the world is God's way of telling us that he hates homosexuals. They say "Fags eat poop". They protest at soldier's funerals and they tell everyone that will listen to them that those soldiers died because God killed them for being in an army that welcomes homosexuals. This video made me very, very upset. 

I don't understand how people can be so ignorant. Why do people think being gay makes you abnormal? Do people really think being gay makes you a bad person? A "sinner"? 

Take me for example, I get good grades, I respect my parents and my teachers, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I've never hurt anyone. Do I sound like a bad person? I don't think so. And I'm gay. The fact that I'm gay doesn't mean that I'll get bad grades, it doesn't mean that I'll stop being respectful to my parents or my teachers, it doesn't mean I wont be me. So can someone PLEASE explain to me why people think that being gay makes me a bad person? 
This image clearly expresses how I feel about this people:

Here are just some "facts" I'd like to share:

• If homosexuality is a disease, let's call in queer to work (or in my case, school): "Hello. Can't work today, still queer.
• I don't check in every few months to see if you're still straight, so stop checking in to see if I'm still gay. My sexuality doesn't have an expiration date. 
• I am a lesbian and just because I pay a girl a compliment, does not necessarily mean I want to get in her pants. 
• Who is the "boy" who is the "girl" is a ridiculous question. Obviously we're both girls. 
• Parenting works the exact same way whether it's with two moms, two dads, or a dad and a mom.

I apologize if this post offends someone, or if it is too much of a rant, but I needed to get it out of my system. 

I have only two things left to say:

1. Remember to wear something purple the 20th of October to show the gay youth that they are loved.
2. Long Live the Rainbow.
