Homophobia is Human Phobia


All of the hysteria surrounding homophobia is ridiculous. It's surprising that the most liberal state in our country, California, couldn't even pass a law allowing homosexuals to get married. In my opinion, I don't think anyone should be forced into having their relationship publicly and legally acknowledged through marriage. Marriage is a sacred institution whose origin is rooted in religion. It's in the Bible. And so if marriage is a sacred religious institution, then only religious people should be allowed to get married. If Biblical text says marriage is for a man and a woman, then let that marriage be for the men and women who are committed to that religion. Everyone else should have civil unions, hetero, bisexual and homosexual folks included.

The government should not be so irresponsible in assuming that everyone in this country is religious and for those who are not, their relationships should be publicly and legally be recognized through civil unions. I could care less about people's opinion about homosexuality. If you refuse to believe that there is no gene for heterosexuality or homosexuality and that there's only a genetic trait for sexuality, and that human beings who choose to engage in homosexual/bisexual activities opposed to their heterosexual counterparts are just like people who choose to favor ketchup over mustard, then that's your problem. If your religious text states that having an affection for Black people, or tall people, or poor people, or nonetheless someone of the same sex is immoral and an abomination by God, then that's a problem that you and your religious constituents need to deal with. Or, if you believe that homosexuals are human beings just like everyone else and that homosexuality and bisexuality is a lifestyle choice just like extravagant/Bohemian living, promiscuity or being a part of the Ku Klux Klan, then that's ok too. But don't let your beliefs affect the lives of people and their happiness. There was a time when White folks said interracial marriage was an abomination and tried to justify it with religion, and there was another time when the same people who fled Europe because of religious persecution, went to an "undiscovered" country called America and spawned slavery and justified it with religion and then there was another time when....you get the point.

Well, how can homosexual couples be comfortable when the Supreme Court is like, all up in their relationship? It is embarrassing for our government to be one of the few who refuses to dignify the relationships of human beings who choose certain lifestyles because of their own religious ideals. What happened to all that hoopla about a free country? Homosexuals are still human beings and the ones who are American citizens deserve and have the inalienable right to have their relationship publicly acknowledged, just like the heterosexuals who live foul lifestyles, corrupt human solidarity and are responsible for divorce rates being the highest they've ever been. Whatever.

  2. Agreed with the poster above me. I do miss listening to your thoughts. It amazes me how much you've grown and how much more of a well-rounded person you've become. You're more of a model person compared to more than half the fools we had graduated with. I'm feeling this post. I wish you well and Happy birthday my dude. Live it up. =)
