Gay All The Time

It has to be, given the abuse we all sit back and take from the so called ‘normal‘ people out there. I really wonder at times, what drives people to being so racist, so intolerant? Just who have we (homosexuals) pissed off so much, that they convince people we are sick, perverted, evil, sinners, and mentally unbalanced? I really would like to know, so maybe Stephen Harper, George Bush, and others could enlighten me. After all, they are leaders of those who hate me.

I am rather dismayed at the hatred being show, even up here in the land of supposed tolerance, Canada.

In a province, a school district elected to refuse a noted Gay Author (Alex Sanchez) from speaking to students in the district. It made the CBC News because well, it is newsworthy. I mean after all, this is Canada, and that kind of Racism doesn’t go up here, or does it? After reading many of the comments that follow the story, from so called average Canadians, I feel rather ashamed of Canada. Well, not Canada, but those who have posted their vile hatred, for all to see.

Alex Sanchez writes books about gay youth and their struggle to find acceptance, but local school principals were not comfortable allowing him to address their students.

Jay Remer, spokesman for the Charlotte County Rainbow Support Group, said Sanchez is a terrific public speaker whose message is about tolerance.

He said Sanchez’s mission is “to help the gay youth in the community to feel less isolated and more part of the community as a whole.” (source - CBC News)

While there are a fair number who are trying to make the case, that differences aren’t evil, that one’s interpretation of the Bible isn’t everyone’s, it just seems so depressing. I do not understand people, that hate so much, and I wonder, what is it that I did to them? I am Gay, PROUD OF IT, but I wonder at times, about my fellow man. How can they hate me, simply because I love another man? They don’t know me, so how can they sit in judgement of me, and my lifestyle?

Then too, there are those who still actually believe that not only is being gay a choice, but that many see the light and return to being normal.

So just what is Normal by their definition? Is it to wage war based on lies? How about that Whites are the Superior Race, when the truth is, Whites are actually a minority, just as Christianity is a minority as well. And yet they seem to be willing to accept that it is the only real religion, and that only their own view of it, is the right path.  Now I don’t know about them, but I believe in God. I believe he is a kind & loving power, that has made some tough choices, one of which is granting us Free Will. I believe he cares for all of us, and if the purported last words of Christ on the Cross are true, then how can he hate me for being Gay?

How can anyone believe, that GOD can hate any of his children?

I simply do not understand it, but then I am mental, so some of my fellow Canadians believe, while at the same time telling me their God loves me, but only if I deny who I am, who he created. It is sad, but it is life today in 2008. Makes you wonder, did we slip into a time warp somehow, and this is really 1933?
