*DISCLIAMER!
DO NOT TAKE OFFENSE TO THIS POST. I HEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS. THIS POST IS MERELY MY OPINION AND SOME ASPECTS OF IT ARE JUST FOR PURE ENTERTAINMENT. I AM NOT OUT TO OFFEND ANYONE BY IT. SO IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED THEN DON'T READ THIS.


Well, it's official. For the first time out of 26 posts I've failed to complete a topic! Yea, i'm admitting it. I can't finish the Trying to understand women topic. Maybe later on in future i might come back edit it and it will be finished, but for now I really can't do it. Now for a change of pace. I'm going head first into the topic of homosexuality. 'God created Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve' One of the many jokes associated when talking about gays (Do not be offended by me referring to people by gays. It's saving me time instead of typing out homosexuals all the time.). Before i go straight into the meat of the topic as of if being gay is a crime i want to address the double standard the most people believe in. It's okay for a woman to kiss another woman, but it's not okay for a man to kiss another man?

Hell, i believe in this also. I know it's a double standard and everything, but a man kissing another man is just unnatural...
"But Floyd, what's the difference between 2 women doing it and 2 men doing it?" I personally don't know, it just seems okay when 2 women are holding hands and hugging and snuggling, but if the men were to do the exact same thing, i would watch them and kind of raise my eyebrow. Maybe it's because girls/women are naturally affectionate and they normally do those sort of things. Like, when growing up girls would hug each other often, hold each others hand, put their legs on top of one another and stuff similar to that and none of the girls you grew up with was a lesbian. They were just completely normal and that's the nature of girls to just be kinda 'touchy'. Compared to guys who hardly touch each other and if one fella touches another fellas thigh/leg by accident it's a big thing and we make a big deal out of it. So, fellas or in fact society in general is unaccostomed to seeing two males being so passionate with one another. It's unheard of... it's morally and spiritually wrong... it's the new generation of things and we need to accept it?

The last statement that was made is a very big debate. Because there are more gay people coming out, do the people of the world have to accept it? Alot of gay people are asking for their freedom of rights. They claimed that black people ask for their freedom of rights and they got it and that women asked for their freedom of rights, now they're asking for it and everyone is persecuting them. It's not easy to accept the reality of the situation that there are actually gay people in society. Older folks would reminisce and talk about how back in their day the idea of somone being gay wasn't even heard of. Well it was prevelant, but it was 1/1000 people would be gay and if you WERE gay it was very secretive and hardly anyone knew. Now, in this current generation there are gays left right and centre, both male AND female. A popular question that is asked is,
"Where all of these gays coming from?" My take on this is that all the time there were gay people in society, but they just didn't know that was their preference in life until they saw others and heard other people and they realised that was what they really believed in in life. Some people never realised they like people of the same sex until they were in their late 30's or even in their 40's. Some realised that this at a very young age. Maybe it is our generation causing this.... by people being more open and fighting for gay rights etc. people are realising that it is okay for them to come out of the closet and it is okay for them to show their sexuality. But, I think that a big problem though which some people see as the real problem is that some straight people are being converted to being gays. Some women quarrel and say that they've lost many a good man because they've gone over to the other side of the fence.

Some people you would never know they're gay by just looking at them. Some you definitely know are gay. It's stereotyped that a gay guy (i don't know what the sterotype for a lesbian is)has a high pictched voice, wears bright colours, walks a certain way and does woman like actions like put their hands on their hips and roll their eyes alot. Alos, they're extremely sensitive. But, as MTV's 'The Real World' proved not all gay fellas fall under this stereotype. I'm referring to Karamo now commonly known as 'the gay black fella'. Karamo looked like a normal homie, tall, strong, listenin to rap, wore a durag on his head, walked with a bounce etc. Looking normal normal. For the whole first episode there wasn't even a hint of him being gay, but when it was revealed in the 2nd episode everyone was shocked, shocked! because there was another gay fella in the house named Willy and he fit the stereotype exactly, so they thought he was the only one, but when they learned about Karamo they just couldn't believe it. And I think that's when America (and everyone outside) relaised that gay people could take any race or form. Whether you're black, white, red, yellow or if you're small bodied, athletic and toned or even have a beer belly, you can't tell. It's like trying to tell an A.I.D.S. victim out of a group of people... Some people could just hide it very well.

But, am i afraid of gay people? Of course not. That's like how people are afraid of midgets (*rolls eyes at the thought). There's nothing to be afraid of. They ARE normal people like you and me. So look at this situation, you hate gays right. You don't believe that they should be walking the earth and all of them should be shot on sight. Next thing you know one day your best friend comes up to you and pulls you aside and tell you, that they have to tell you something. Being best friends you are assure them that you could tell you anything. They reveal to you that they're gay and they recently discovered it. WHAT WOULD YOU DO AT THAT POINT? Would you still believe in your belief about gay people that you would want your best friend killed because they were gay? Or how about if your brother or sister was gay? Nothing is wrong with gay people... they're people nonetheless and they have emotions and feelings like the rest of us. The only difference is they have a preference of people of their same gender rather than the opposite gender. If one of my breadrins came and told me they were gay, i'd be okay with it as long as they didn't try to come on to me or try to kiss me or anything like that. I'd still be their friend and be there for them etc.

There are some people who cross the border when it comes to being gay. The people who want to change their gender from a man to a woman, that's overdoing it. They take hormones and they do the whole plastic surgery thing, so they would have breasts and look more females. Some people who say they do this because society would accept them as a female and not a male and it would not be as hard for them to live a normal life. If you're gay and you want to have a gay reln. with someone then stand by your preference and don't try to fool the public...

Gots to wrap this up. Well you heard my point of view on this. I have no problem with gay people. But, when it comes to the whole religious aspect of it, where people who are against gay relationships say how in the Bible it's written that gay relationships(male and female) are forbidden and it's against everything the Lord intended. I'm not going to get into that aspect... For now, i'm out and look forward for yet another topic from yours truly.
