"Have you ever been hated or discriminated against? I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against."
I've been called names... my car has been egged... I've been threatened.. stared at and even cornered once in NYC. My mother has just started coming around to the fact her daughter is gay after five years. Why anyone would think that the life of homosexuality is a choice is beyond me.
It's not easy. It's not even fun at times. Constantly having to look over my shoulder just because I want the basic human right to hold my girlfriend's hand? Having to block out the constat stares and snickers. Being told your going to hell. I guess it's good that I don't believe in hell. Watching someone's funeral.... and seeing people scream at some murdered boys parents that their son... the child they raised.. there little boy.. who they're never going to see again... ever.. is going to hell. Hearing about another suicide of some teenager... who would rather die.. then know their family and loved ones might possibly despise them. Hating yourself for so long.. because you realise that you are what soicety has brainwashed you to believe is wrong. Knowing people.. who don't even know you as a person.. a human being.. a soul... want you dead because of who you fall in love with. Homosexuals are human beings. They bleed, they laugh, they cry, they hook up cars, they watch the same movies, eat at the same resturants...etc. Who they choose to love.. or sleep with seems so small in comparison to everything else.
People who hate.. I feel sorry for them. They're denied the simple joy of peace and humanity. It takes so much energy to hate. I just don't get it.
The public persona of gays is so warped. They're not out to get your children.. they're not out to recruit. They're out to live life.. just like everyone does.. straight, gay, Jewisih, Catholic, Muslim, Bhuddist, black, white, Spanish, Asian. Diversity - there is no set mold anymore. That was destroyed long ago. It's a shame people still can't grasp change... and an even bigger shame.. that so many people are obsessed with hating what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom.
