My views on things

Untitled Part 1

In recent years the topic of the LGBTQ community is a very big thing. We shall no longer live in a time where being part of the LGBTQ community is a bad thing. Look around you, do you see a difference between the community and you? No, you see people, like you, your friends, and your family. I am bisexual. Can you tell that without me saying it? Or would you only see that I am human? Author Cody Cornell (2017) says in his article Chicago Organizations Tackle LGBTQ Youth Homelessness "LGBTQ and "straight" people are the same. They both have eyes, ears, a mouth, etc. The only difference is their sexuality." In this article, it talks about how LGBTQ youth is more likely to be physically assaulted because of their sexuality. I should not have to worry about getting assaulted because I'm bisexual. The problem with today's society is it is so against the community. Why? Because people have had it drilled into their heads that it is a bad thing. The solution to this? Open your eyes and see two people who want to be together, but can't because of society. Just leave them be, love is love.

I realize you guys don't want to hear this, but I feel it is necessary to say it, families are families. Even if there is one mum and one dad, two mums, and or two dads. It does not matter about the gender of the parents, what matters is the love you receive from them. According to Findlaw.com (2015) "Gay couples have a harder time being able to start a family by adopting." It takes nine months to a year longer for gay or lesbian couples to adopt. This shows that people are biased for, gay couples. Some people think that being in the LGBTQ community is¨contagious¨. Back in the 80's being part of the community was so shameful people did not say they were apart of it. Now more and more people are saying they are apart of the community because they can truly be themselves now. People now know that there is a whole community fighting for them. With that, the community is growing. Being part of the LGBTQ community is a wonderful thing, not something to be ashamed of.

Some people believe that being part of the LGBTQ community is a thing to be ashamed of, that it is wrong. When a child grows up in a home with the same gender parents, or transgender, or any part of the community, they will grow up thinking it is okay. The TFP Student Action Group (2015) says " Gay marriage violates natural law." When people get married the priest says "I now pronounce you man and wife." Not man and man or wife and wife. That's where people are wrong. Love is  love no matter what sexuality.

Some say being part of the LGBTQ community is bad. The people in the community know it is a great thing because people can be free. It's something to be proud of. There are people all over the world just like my mum who think being apart of the LGBTQ community is the worst thing ever. Then there are people like Jim Parsons ( Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory) who knows it is not a bad thing, in fact, it is a good thing. Don't hate something because you don't like it or you think it is wrong. Love is love, man, and woman, man and man, or woman and women, it is love. That is not a bad thing, it is a great thing. The only thing they did "wrong" is fall in love with a person, who cares if it is the same gender or different. Accept it. They accept you.
