Remember that guy on the news? The one
who was beaten as he stood up for the right to be able to marry someone of the
same gender—yes, I am talking about gay
marriage. Well maybe that story just flew by your head, or maybe you
thought that he deserved it; I mean he is gay.
Homosexuals are abnormal. Homosexuals aren’t welcomed. The Bible
taught us that homosexuality is a sin; that you’ll go to hell; that it’s wrong.
But wasn’t God all about love? Well none of that matters because you’re a
normal, sexually attracted to the opposite gender person. But
then your friend comes out; they’re gay.
She doesn’t find that blonde, blue-eyed football player cute and he doesn’t
think that brunette c cup cheerleader is sexy. Your friend needs you. Your son
or daughter is looking to you for help. That person is praying for mercy. The
shopping trips to the mall, the break ups she helped you through, the time she
stood up for you, are they all meaningless now that she’s a lesbian? Does the bonding over games,
the time he backed you up in a fight, the shenanigans you both pulled, and the
scolding received afterward disappear because he’s gay? Is your daughter/son any different from when you raised
him/her as a little child? No. That person is the same. Are you going to be the
friend that denies any relation because you’re afraid of being unpopular or
that you’ll become gay—I mean everyone knows that gay is a very contagious disease?
Or will you be a true friend that says ‘who cares’ to the fact that they’re gay. You
don’t. Will you be the parent that throws their own child away because of their
sexual preference? Or will you choose to love them as they are?
This is America, the land of
freedom. But how can America call itself America when its people don’t even have
the freedom to love regardless of gender without beimg discriminated against?
It can’t.
I really liked how you kept asking the reader questions throughout your post! It really made me put myself into those situations that you mentioned and to think about how I would react. Great job and I can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteThat last small paragraph pulled everything together perfectly and really made you agree. I like the humor you added for example the not finding brunette c-cup cheerleader sexy. It made the post more light hearted. I really liked your post and of course the topic, but it seemed to not stick with one story too much, like it moved around a lot. Other then that I think you did great!
ReplyDeleteIt is really interesting how we had the same topic, but we went in opposite directions with our posts. I love how you were very blunt with your post, and sent the readers on a harsh guilt trip. You did no sugar coating, and it showed your passion about the issue. You jump around a lot in your post, but I think the last paragraph accuratly sums up the message you were trying to send.
