Love and Equality.

I don't know where to start.

I don't know when equality will actually happen... I'm sick of hoping for it in a world full of selfish people, who are so terrified of "different."

I don't know when people will finally understand that love is universal. It can happen between any two people. A man falls in love with a woman and that love is celebrated throughout the world. But a man falls in love with a man, and he is sworn a sinner. In my eyes, that same love is still there between two people, and it should still be celebrated.

I am sick of people not understanding this. I am sick of people spitting in the faces of those who consider themselves homosexuals. I am sick of "marriage" being defined by people who think they know so much. I am sick of "love" being limited to only be between certain people. Only "the right" kind of people can fall in love with each other in "the right" way. Only "the right" kind of love can be celebrated, only "the right" kind of marriage can be had, because "the right" people love each other "the right" way.

I want to know what defines love. Where is your hard evidence? And don't throw the bible at me. I believe in God-- but anyone who reads Leviticus and preaches it is completely insane. Take a closer look at Leviticus. If you think we should follow that one infamous verse, read on, because we would then have to follow all the rules of Leviticus-- that is, of course if this is your "evidence"-- I assume you wouldn't want us to pick and choose which verses we listen to. All or nothing, am I right?

Leviticus discusses a "structure" to the ancient world-- I'm sorry, let me say that again-- Leviticus is a book of "laws" that were followed IN THE ANCIENT WORLD.  If you read Leviticus carefully, you will see that it is completely outdated and the world as we know it does not follow the majority of that book in the Bible. Who knew it was a sin to "play with the skin of a pig"? I guess we should cancel the superbowl, "the bible tells me so".

I'm so upset that people throw the Bible down as a reference-- people who swear to live by it fully, but don't. God says to love everyone as they are your neighbor. I don't see that here. At all. I see people picking out passages that they think should be heard, and pushing it upon people they can't identify with.

Homosexuality is an abomination under God. That's what it says. That's what they believed. Thousands of years ago. Thousands of years ago. Now I would like to assume we've grown up a little in that time as a human race. Sadly, however, we haven't. There are still people who think these things and who discriminate against anyone who is different then they are. Listen. We are living in an ever changing world. Nothing stays the same for more than a few years. After all the time we've had on this planet, people have changed. People are going to be different then you. You can't change it, so you may as well accept it and keep living your life.

I'm angry.
I am angry that, although God commands us to love one another, we as His people, don't. I am embarrassed-- not everyone believes in God, the Christian God, and yet, the Bible seems to have a white-knuckle grip on our culturally diverse country. I'm angry that America says we have the right to pursue happiness, and yet, that undeniable human right is still only given to "the right" kind of people.


Newsflash. Homosexuality is a reality. Whether you like it or not, whether God Himself likes it or not, it is a reality. My generation will be the generation to knock down the walls that separate gay, straight, and everything in between. My generation will overcome prejudice, discrimination, and the fear of "different." My generation will slash the double standards that America has upheld for so long.

 I don't care if I run the show all by myself. I won't live my life being ashamed of the human race because of the superfluous bigotry that seems to have us open-minded "Millenials" against a wall. It isn't going to happen. I'm not the only one out there who is angry. I'm not the only person willing to stand up against this crap.

I'm angry, and if you aren't angry, then you should be scared.
Change is brewing. It will take some time, but I can feel it already. Change is coming.
