I'm a straight person, who supports homosexuality 110%. I don't hate people who are against it, but I strongly disagree with them as a person.
How can you be against a HUMAN BEING, for something that deals with THEIR life? Do they bully you for being straight? Do they tease you for it? Do they hate you? Do they do anything they can to make your life a living hell? No, I really didn't think so.
And if you are the person sitting here thinking "No they don't hate me, because being straight is normal." Well think again, because NOTHING is normal. Normal is a word that people made up to feel good about themselves. That's like saying people with disabilites don't hate you, because you are normal, and they are not.
Another reason most of the people today are so against gay people, is the religion aspect of it. You believe in god, and you believe in what he says, but you all take it into TOO big of proportions. Yes, in the bible it says marriage is between a man and a woman, but what does that have to do with hating gay people? They 'commit' one wrongful thing against the bible, and all of a sudden you mark them as an enemy? What about the people who have sex before marriage? What about the people who drink underage? What about the people who treat their parents with no respect? They have 'sinned against God' as well, and yet you take it all out on homosexuals?
Speaking of sinning, you are sinning by hating them. In the bible it says to love all and see all as equal no matter what. Good job to all of you who are out to get the gays because it's a sin(sarcasm).
Lastly, I give you the people who are against gays, because they think it's disgusting and they so wrong. HELLO? THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER THINGS THATS 'WRONG' IN YOUR LIVES! Killers. Rapists. Kidnappers. Robbers. Stealers. Drug dealers. Gangs. These are the people in life that you NEED to be disagreeing with. Why don't you worry about them, because these are the people in life that WILL and CAN affect yours. AND, if you think it's disgusting, simply turn your heads, get over it, and move on. If you think its gross, THEN DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO IT.
Why can't we let them do what they want? They are simply as human as us. They have feelings just as we do. By hating them, you classify yourself as a judgemental person. You might as well call yourself racist, or if you want to take it to an extreme, Hitler.
