Proud to be, proud to be me~!

Dude, this is AWESOME: Link

I love studying human rights... African-American rights, gay rights, women rights- all of it. Although, while studying black rights in history, I nearly cried from each of the clips Ms. Sowers showed us. It's like... no. Bad Americans. Bad, bad, BAD.
Women rights and gay rights pretty much go hand in hand. Gals are like "Dude, stop being SEXIST. JERKS." then gay rights are like, "Dude, let us love who we want. Just cuz I'm a girl, doesn't mean I have to love a guy. Just cuz I'm a guy, doesn't mean I have to love a girl. Don't be sexist. JERKS."


And then the religious people are like, "WE IZ PERFECT. BE LIKE US." But then they hide the 'imperfections'. That's when gay aunts and uncles get in the way, then the non-religious people are like, "dude, you're a hypocrite. you're related to a gay dude/girl." And then the religious person is like "they're sick, God will guide them to the heterosexual path of life."

And then I'm like, "NO. BAD CHRISTIANS AND RELIGIOUS FOLK."

Then the computer screen is like, "...".

And this is also when the quote, "I wish Jesus would come back and say, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" (Margaret Cho) comes in.

I've had many rants about these rights... but they all boil down to the same things. Legally, same sex marriage should be legal in every state since religion is not supposed to be in state. In the legal system, a married couple get certain things from the state not for being religious or being man and woman, but because they are legally seen as living together and thus should get a few things from the state for being a couple. It has nothing to do with the church, and because religion has no place in politics, same sex couples legally should be legal. Actually, it's almost like when African-Americans fought for their rights. The constitution says that everyone is equal- but that's not what the People go by because of their past or religious background.

Being gay isn't something you choose. You don't wake up one morning and say, "ya know what? The opposite sex is annoying. I'm going to be gay!" The only choice you have is whether or not to be proud of it.

Why can't the world live in peace, and stop being ignorant morons that hate on anything different? Just accept it, move on, or if they don't like it, shut their mouth or give some hugs instead of punches. The world would be SO much more fun if everyone lived like that.
