It's Raining Somewhere Else (rants)

Sexuality Changes/Gay Rights

I know this is a tough subject to touch on and if this is offensive or disturbing (I don't see how it can be disturbing but some homophobes) you can go ahead and skip this.

Anyway, this is on sexuality and gay rights. Stuff in that general area. I'm a Christian, yeah, and I was raised thinking being gay was wrong. I followed my older sibling and parent's example of homophobia because I didn't know any better. But now, I've figured out how to have my own opinions and I often express my supports to the trans and gay community. My parents and sibling will often give me this look as if I've contracted a terrible disease like "oh no our daughter has caught the homosexuality disease, where did we go wrong?" I myself am asexual but I haven't told them that because I'm not really myself around my family. I cannot be myself around my family because I will most likely be punished for who I am.

Anyway, back to the topic. Most people don't like like the concept of changing ones gender or liking someone of the same gender. I honestly love those people to death, they show immense courage to go up in front of people and proclaim that they don't care what anyone thinks. On the bright side, the trans community has welcomed the wonderful Caitlyn Jenner, and god I'm so proud of her. She shows that it's okay to be proud of who you are.

Now I talked with my sibling earlier. I asked him why he thought transgender was disgusting and gross. He went on a religious rage. He said that God intended for us to do this and that and stay this gender but what if you like more girly things and you're a male? What if you're a female and you like more masculine things. Everything we have here is, oh my goodness, gender neutral. Make-up is gender neutral, ballet is gender neutral, everything is gender neutral. We have a right as humans to express ourselves however we choose, even if it means being gay, pansexual, transgender, etc. We can't help being who we are. I don't care if your a massive homophobe, I kinda live with three of them. They do not share my opinion at all. And that's okay.

I still don't see a problem with gay marriage. I fully support it wholeheartedly. Love is love, no matter who you are. So what if you're attracted to someone of the same gender. The world is changing and that's okay. Just don't be a massive asshole about it. Don't act like someone pissed in your Cheerios. Now, have a nice night.
