Just my two cents on this matter.

To all you people who are, for whatever reason, homophobic and whatnot (and this is not addressed at anyone here in particular), I have a question.

Why do you even care if people love men, or women, or both, or none, or whatever? It's their life, not yours, so I simply can't understand why you can't respect their orientations and beliefs. They are not hurting you in any way. All they want to do is be happy and loved. Isn't that what we all want? Why would some people have less right to this than others? And seriously: Given the tremendous amount of discrimination bisexual and especially homosexual people have to face EVERY DAY, do you think anyone would freely choose such a sexual orientation? Just for the lulz or what?

Seriously, this is stupid, stupid, stupid, and so so sad. Why can't we all simply respect each other, the way we are, the way we love and what we believe? Where is the big deal? I mean, homo/bisexual people aren't harming you in any way at all. But you, you are hurting them very much, and that is bad. Very bad. Disrespecting and hurting others who do nothing more than loving in a way you don't or simply don't understand doesn't make the least sense. At all. And it's just plain wrong, and you can try to argue this all you want.

This said, Gato, I understand it is very, very hard, but don't be ashamed. And I realize this is hard, but it's time noone should be discriminated for, or being ashamed of a significant part of who they are.

And this may sound silly, but if a world where there is only love and respect and no more hatred and disrespect can't exist while there is homophobia, then I prefer a world without heterosexuality (sure, this isn't going to happen and I wouldn't really like that, being heterosexual and all, but you get my point).

The world needs more love, not less.

Peace, love and hugs to all of you. Homosexuals, bisexuals, heterosexuals and homophobics alike. Homosexuality is not a thing you can cure or needs to be cured, but I think homophobia is.

EDIT: Reading this a day after posting it, I realize I shouldn't have posted this in such an aggressive tone. Consequently, I've modified several parts that could seem rude or offensive to other people. Sorry if I offended anyone.

See, I find an easy way to get round this, because I've done it myself a few times(Not about gays)

Ask yourself: "Why do I have a problem with these people/ this person?"

Evaluate and analyse the situation in your head(This is a great tactic for any problem)

If you come up with some reasons, ask yourself this question for each one:

"Does this harm me/effect me in a bad way"

If you genuinely get a yes for your reasons, then you are truly lost, at least for the time being. If the answer is no, well the mission complete.

So please, next time any one has an annoyance over a certain person, belief or group of people, use these two questions. They have helped me a lot.

Reading through these comments was like eating a nest of spiders.

Knowing that they were on an entry where someone was already in conflict internally on that issue is even worse.

I'm sorry you had to go through this but I hope you can be happy with who you are, Gato.

Eh. I kinda knew that at some point I would get the reaction that I did so I was kinda prepared for it. I just wish that it hadn't had been as widespread and as vocal as it was.
