Let Me Speak For You

Recently I found out that a friend of mine is college is gay. I actually came across this information by accident. The thing that bugged me was the fact that he is not out about it in college. I am not saying that that’s a bad thing. I am just saying that I think he hasn’t come out because he is afraid of the reactions of others, especially his friends and family. This is such a sad thing really because he is not allowed to be himself because of societies discrimination against gay people. I mean, seriously, even gay people have rights. 

I don’t get it. Why are straight people so afraid of gay people? Just because he is gay doesn’t mean he is gonna hit on you or put his hand down your pants. Look at it this way. A straight guy meets hundreds of girls all the time but he only falls in love with that one special girl, gets married to her and has a perfect family with her. Gay people are the same too. Just because a person is gay doesn’t mean he is going to hit on every guy that walks his way. He too is looking for that one special person that he can spend the rest of his life with. The only difference between him and the straight guy is that the straight guy gets married to a girl and the gay guy gets married to a guy.

What most people fail to realize is that being a gay, lesbian, bisexual or a transgender is not something that happens by choice. It is internal and the individual has no control over it. So don’t discriminate them over something that they have absolutely no control over. Some of them are actually really cool friends. You should give it a shot. Get to know someone who is gay or lesbian or bisexual or even a transgender. You might enjoy their company. I know this for a fact because I actually have all these people as friends and they are amazing.

Don’t be afraid. Don’t discriminate. Give them a chance. They are humans too and they have feelings and rights.

To all those who are in the LGBT community out there, don’t be afraid to be yourself. Learn to love yourself because if you don’t love yourself, how do you expect others to love you. Give it some thought.

Godbless.

How do i do it?

I have always found the idea of blogging rather interesting. I have been meaning to have my own blog but there is one thing that stands in the way; the fact that it is very restrictive. Restrictive in a sense that there are things that i will not be abel to write about primarily because there are other people involved in it. The world is a small place and if i write about someone, that person is bound to find out about it eventually. Thats the only catch to blogging. In that sense i guess a journal or a diary is much better but there are dangers to that too. The most obvious danger is that if that material falls in the wrong hands. I mean seriously, if i were crappin about someone and that very person reads my diary/journal, it would be really shitty.

So than, how does an individual express himself? I guess that is the million dollar question. I mean, whats the point of having a log but not being able to write freely? Sometimes i think the safest place to store anything is inside my head. I mean, think about it, if it were in my head no one can accidentally read it and get pissed about it. It definitely is the safest place. Now the problem with that is that memory tends to fade with time. So whatever is kept in there will disappear eventually.

So how do i preserve it? There are so many things running through my head at this very moment that i wish to jot down but cant for fear of it being read by someone who is not supposed to read it. I will have to find a way to do this. I don't know how yet, but i will. Trust me i will.

I guess you are probably going like ' this idiot is already blogging and yet she is talking about the drawbacks to blogging?" Its true, i am blogging now, but i am not able to be free about it and that bothers me. The reason for me blogging is to see if someone out there comes up with a way to be free yet be very secrative about it. Till then.

Godbless.
