Let's Erase Hate!

Define hate. I mean if you think homosexuality is icky, say talking to an homosexual or seeing them kiss makes you uncomfortable, well that' s fine, it' s not like it' s something you can reason. If however you go out of your way to shun them out or be a vocal ass, based on belief rather than evidence, then that I do have a problem with.

In my country for instance you can only fire someone over a professional fault. You hire people to do a job and, as a boss, how efficiently they do it is the only aspect of their lives that is any of your business. Not that there' s no way to get around it in practice, but I' m still glad things were legiferated this way. Sadly, I heard in the US firing someone over his private life is completely legal, looks like legal discrimination to me.

I also heard that in some US schools teachers aren' t allowed to use the word homosexual, not even in sex ed (if there is any), or that they propose some ridiculous "cure the gay" programs to their students. They' re teachers, in a secular democracy, they' re supposed to be role models. Do I have to elaborate or do you understand why that makes me wanna puke ?

The US also seem to have a big problem with atheists btw, if I am to believe statistics (most distrusted minority in the US). They' re more likely to vote for a gay president. Just count how many openly gay/atheist judges or senators they have, it' s amazing. However there have much more blacks beaten in an alley for being black than they have atheists beaten for being atheists. What I' m getting at is that you don' t have to hate someone (or realize/admit that you actually do) to discriminate him, apathy can be just as damaging as hate.

 

I suppose that is true. What I am trying to say is that I am not going to physically harm someone because of their beliefs. Nor will I fire anyone (like I even could.) or be rude without any other reason. I don't like to discriminate or be hateful for little to no reason. So the whole "Non acceptance is Hate" thing, kinda stung. Even if that's not what they meant, that's kinda what it felt like. But I get along well with some of these people ( even if they are unaware of my existence) and I would not want to be Hateful to them just because of their sexuality.

 

The interview is now up on my channel.

 

Having grown up in a religious community, I have seen unfortunately a lot of hate towards gays/lesbians.

My best friend made out with her boyfriend next to the Vice Principal of my high school and he didn't do anything, yet a lesbian kissing her girlfriend on the cheek got both of them suspended and banned from any intimate contact. Also they weren't allowed to go to prom as a couple. Ironically enough, two towns away has a massive gay community and is very open about it, including having a gay bar. I myself being bi, I see it as a hormonal thing. Animals in the wild can be gay, it has been proven. Is it wrong? Not really. Do people perceive it as wrong? Sometimes, it's not fair to anyone who is gay. You can't change who you are, you can't force yourself to be different than what you are. I support being gay and them having the same rights as everyone else. I was the first one to celebrate when Gay Marriage was passed in my state.

I think honestly, you should follow the same rules and protocols as any other couple in public. If someone is horrified that you are gay, they can suck it up, there's people who breastfeed in public and that makes me massively uncomfortable. There's no reason to judge anyone, for anything.
