Homophobia

Shouldn’t Even Be a Real Thing

Why do people treat this like a real disease? It’s not real and it shouldn’t be taken serious. We fight and we fight to be equal but people just can’t seem to swallow their pride when it comes to this type of stuff. I do have to say though not everyone wants to see that on tv or in public but that doesn’t mean we don’t accept you. The real problem is, is the protests and the horrible slurs being said and just because you love someone and they can’t accept it, which is absolutely ridiculous. Let’s be real here the only reason people harass the LGBTQ community is because they have nothing better to do, they don’t want them hitting on them, or either they’re just like them and the only way they can hid it is to bash them.

Also if you’re scared that they’re going to hit on you or show any interest in you, don’t flatter yourself because they’re probably just trying to figure out how someone like you got to be so mean and hateful. That’s the new thing now bringing other people down because you don’t feel good about yourself which is even more stupid to say out loud. It’s not cool and you should knock it off because it’s not as funny as you think it is, it’s pathetic in my book. I refuse to be silent and take crap just because I believe in something different. People should be praised for finding the love of their lives not judged.

Be different, be adventurous, be yourself. You shouldn’t feel ashamed of who you love. I don’t see why people feel like it’s not normal. I understand that it can be your religion but that doesn’t give you the right to say rude stuff about them just because they’re different. It’s even worse when parents disown their own children just because of who they love. It actually makes me angry because you’re just giving away a child that you’ve raised all because you can’t swallow your pride and support and believe in them.

It’s pretty crazy to think we live in a world like this it’s absolutely unexceptionable. The slurs are definitely not needed it either because how would you like it if you were called out your name. It’s really upsetting to know that people apart of that community aren’t safe. Why are we hurting these people? Is it to show your pathetic? Or is it just to express your masculinity? Whatever you’re doing it for it’s stupid because these people are just like us but you can’t see that.

No child deserves the painful experience of your parents being disappointed in you because of your “horrible choice” like actually sit down and hear yourself. Take the time to understand your child because all they want to do is make you proud. Not accepting them can also cause kids to commit suicide and then guess who’ll be sorry then? You because you didn’t take the time to understand your own flesh and blood, your baby. I mean why say anything when you just not say it at all and keep your comments to yourself. The best thing a parent can do to help out their child that’s questioning is help them or even sign them up for a class.

It’s okay to be a parent and be confused but all you have to do is be their for your child when they need help. It’s not rocket science to be a good parent and know that you need to help your child no matter what. Know your worth and know your place in this world because you belong in this world and you shouldn’t change for anyone.
