Gay Is Okay. :]
Hi, I’m Tyler. Im 15, and I’m gay.
Because I’m gay, I’m told I’m a lot of… interesting things. I’m going to take you through this post, and you’re going to not be ignorant and argue what I say, because if you’re trying to argue it, it clearly means you’re not gay, and you have no idea what it’s like to be gay.
• “Its unnatural.” – I think I would know if I made a choice or not. I’m gay. You’re not. You don’t know. I never made a choice. I was literally born this way. I find this offensive because you have no idea what it took for me to come out to my brother in the car, or talk to my sister at home, or how much harder it was to tell my parents at 12 in the morning on December 9th, 2011. I had a hard time coming out of the closet, because i tried too hard to change myself. I thought it was normal to be straight and be attracted to boys. Then I came out to my best friends when I realized theres no stopping it. I can’t even change myself. What makes you think you can change me, if i can’t? You can ask just about every gay, and I know for a fact they’ll answer that it’s not a choice. Why would you argue against the ones that would actually know? Thats like asking a dog what barking means, then saying they’re wrong. Fun fact: Homosexuality is found in over 1,500 species and homophobia is found in one. Who’s unnatural now?
• “God hates gays.” – No. He doesn’t. God loves everyone. I’m not so wrapped into thinking that everything the Bible says is life, so I’m smart enough to stand back and realize that God never wrote the Bible. Do I believe in God? Absolutely. Anyone could’ve put whats in there. The Bible says not to be gay? That’s awesome. The Bible also says not to judge, since you’re so into following the Bible. I don’t understand why you waste your time trying to change my life when you should be making yours perfect. When you judge someone, you’re doing wrong.
• “It’s disgusting” – Well, I think naked girls are kind of disgusting. But I don’t run around complaining about it, and trying to make straight men like other men, do I? No. I don’t. We don’t. And, if you think its so gross, don’t have gay sex. But don’t worry about what other people do either. Your argument is invalid. :3
• “If we let gays marry, its only a matter of time before we let animals marry.” – Um. Excuse me, but it just so happens that I’m a HUMAN BEING. Not some animal. Differences between gays and animals? A lot. But the ones that are relevant in this post, gays are human. Gays are citizens. Gays can ask someone to marry them. Gays can choose to be marrie-oh wait, not all of us can, because so many people actually think it’s a problem. But what I mean is that I doubt some cow is going to be like, “HAY. MOO MOO MOO MARRY ME.” No. Thats not gonna happen. So that statement is pretty ignorant and not very well thought out.
• “Gay people have AIDS.” – Crying for humanity at this. Being gay doesn’t mean AIDS. Gay sex doesn’t mean AIDS. You can only get AIDS from an infected person. Two men can have sex without getting AIDS.
