A phrase uttered by people lest you think they have any
homosexual intent after saying or doing something that might be perceived as
such.
Homosexuality has been a hotly debated topic over the past
few years. More people have come out of the closet in the past 10 years than in
the past 100 years. (Not sure if that statistic is right but lets just go with
it.)
Many people think it’s a black and white topic. You’re
either for the gays or against the gays. Well, I am neither. Homosexuality is a
gray area for me. Basically what I’m trying to say is, you will not find me
marching on the streets for gay rights, neither will you find me marching on
the streets against gay rights.
As a Christian – a catholic to be specific – I was brought
up to believe that homosexuality is wrong. A crime against nature and God. However,
I was also brought up to treat everyone I meet with love, respect and
understanding. Although, I do not understand how people can be attracted the
same sex, at the end of the day it is absolutely none of my business. I was
brought up to judge people based on their character and not on their sexual
orientation, race or religious beliefs.
I believe that homosexuality can be considered religiously
or spiritually wrong but it should not be considered legally wrong. The government should have no right to tell
you who you can or cannot spend the rest of your life with. The government has
no right to tell you whom you can or cannot love.
I’m a firm believer of the mantra ‘Live and let live” So
please let gay people be. You may find them disgusting or sinful but at the end
of the day their love does not affect your life.
