I've never understood how people can hate so deeply. I was raised to embrace the differences of those around me. Skin color, religious beliefs, sexual preferences -- my siblings and I were taught to look beyond that. This has allowed me to see people for who they are -- not what they are. It fascinates me that, regardless of "differences," everyone shares the same desire: to be loved. Sadly, we live in a world where the concept of true love has traditionally been defined as that between a man and a woman It's crippling. But it's life. And I hated everything about it. *MATURE ONLY*
