Gay, Straight, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning. We All Live As One.

Gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning. We all live as one.

I think it is absolutely ridiculous that someone can hate someone because of their sexuality. What gives you the right to tell someone that they aren't good enough? They are people just like you. If you are saying horrible, demeaning, homophobic things to homosexuals then you are less than a person in my mind. You are a waste of space.

One of the most common assumptions i see is "You support gay rights? ARE YOU GAY?" Let me just say this. "You support animal rights? ARE YOU ANIMAL?" Does that make more sense? You don't need to be homosexual to support gay rights just like you aren't an animal if you support animal rights.

Gay rights, or should I just say rights because they are human, just like the rest of us. This is a holocaust. People are taking the rights away from people. People are dying.

Because of bullying, homosexual teens have been committing suicide. The most recent suicide was Jamey Rodemeyer who lived in Buffalo N.Y. He was only 14 years old. He was a freshman in high school and he had been bullied since he came out. A week before he hung himself he posted on his blog "I always say how bullied I am, but no one ever listens... What do I have to do so people will listen to me?" If this isn't a cry for help I don't know what is. Why did no one help him though?  How can the world be that selfish?  I feel bad for Jamey, if he had to go through tons of crap because he was interested in men instead of women. Imagine your life being so bad that the best option you saw was to kill yourself. Before Jamey killed himself he wrote "@ladygaga by mother monster, thank you for all you have done, paws up forever"

This is Jamey Rodemeyer, he died 9.19.11
Think about what you say before you say it. Remember one word can scar someones heart for the rest of their life.

  1. Thanks for your post, Joe.

    This is such an important issue that needs to be given even more notice in the media. Is there something we can do at school to bring attention to this issue?

  2. This is such a powerful blog, I admire your mentality. Many people are so ignorant of this issue hopefully with this blog people will think before they speak such remarks.
