Damn Girl, I Just Got Deep

What brought this post to mind is in lecture the other day we briefly talked about people saying "Oh, I don't like gay people, well except for you." That to me is disgusting. Society tells us since we are kids that we should “do what makes you happy”, “be yourself”, “express who you are”. I feel like this is what society claims life is all about. But in contrast these quotes are exactly what society will criticize you on the most. If a girl has sex because it makes her happy, she is without a doubt labeled a slut/whore/tramp. For Caster Semenya being herself was the furthest thing society wanted to see. You aren't allowed to be a girl and be butch- unless you're gay. But being gay isn't any better. All the time we see PDA, but if two men are holding hands it is very clearly unaccepted, looked at as disgusting. Society wants me to be me, but only the me society wants me to be. I myself am 100% straight, but I am 100% against homophobic abuse. To me abuse ranges from being ridiculed in school, to the states not allowing same sex marriage. Where the hell is the logic in the government having any say in who can get married in the first place? I do not see being gay as a choice, I never chose to be straight I was born like this, who are we to tell gays they weren’t born that way? A sin is a sin no matter how large you see it or not, God sees every sin equal. Every immoral thought is a sin according to the Bible, I mean damn eating shellfish is a sin. I think what’s wrong with everyone is that we are fighting for “gay rights”. Morgan Freeman said in an interview with 60 Minutes “No, I do not like Black History Month. Every month is black history, American history is black history.” And I say hell yeah Morgan Freeman. It’s the same war we fought for racial equality and women rights, but now for gays. When a man and a man have sex it is considered ‘gay sex’, if a woman and a man have sex it is just sex. When a woman and a woman join together in marriage its ‘gay marriage’, when a man and a woman get married its just marriage. If a man and a man hang out and play video games together it’s not called ‘gay hang out’. When two women go out to dinner it’s not called ‘gay dinner’. We are still fighting for human rights; we just gave it a fancy title and discriminated against a new group. Gay rights are human rights, and that, in 2012, is what we are still fighting for. And I find that a huge problem.
