One step towards the right direction
I’m glad to
say that I think the changes are for the better. Changes are always happening
throughout history. It is up to us to make changes for the better or for the
worse. I noticed more people are standing up for the homosexual community. I
noticed this more in social media then anything else like in YouTube videos.
Many gay YouTubers have been respected and been inspiration to others because
they voice whatever comes to mind and I think that’s awesome.
The support from
people is increasing each year and more people are accepting the idea of
homosexuality. Choosing a different sex is a choice and something that people
shouldn’t be ridiculed for. Now we see less homophobic people each generation
that move us forwards towards the brighter future.
I’m glad that same sex marriages are
taking place in certain states. Not all of them unfortunately but it’s a start.
Being gay isn’t something people should fear and more people are realizing
that. I’m still appalled that they’re people in this world that would still
judge people for their personal taste in same sex. For example, the preacher
who said all homosexuals will go to hell/ that is a statement that should be
kept for them because that really hurt someone’s feelings. People don’t realize
or don’t care that verbal abuse can be just as bad as physical abuse.
This is my own personal opinion on” Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination”. While this is written in the bible, wasn’t the bible written by
man not god? The bible was translated by God but who is to say everyone he
translated is 100% what god has said? I think we should use the bible as a
reference in our lives like thou shall not steal or something in that nature. The
bible has helped me through hard times with all its wonderful information but I
don’t live my life by every single word in the bible. I think we shouldn’t
reference everything from the bible because something may seem wrong. Why would
God inflict pain towards two people who love each other? If you believe
everything that’s in the bible, that’s completely fine but don’t force your
views towards others. Why would you make your views superior versus other
people?
For
example, while watching the video in the daily writing, I noticed that the preacher
was ranting about what he believed in but as soon as people stepped in a
non-violet way, he responded by saying this is “something peculiar is happening
here” . I believe he did it for the attention because he didn’t’ know how to
respond when the students sung to him. Overall, I don’t mind anyone voicing
their opinion because that makes us unite and collaborate ideas. One thing I don’t
like when people belittle other people ideas and we should stop doing this
because I don’t think any God would want that.
