Not even 10 days into the New Year and I have already heard about three different instances involving violence against someone whom was perceived to be homosexual. I just kept thinking wow, and I can’t believe that happened to someone. I hate to say it but this is a big reason why I am scared to hold my boyfriends hand in public.
I am scared to death, sometimes, that I might offend someone enough that they would want to harm me. The funny thing is I am the least offensive most keep to yourself guy ever!!!! But I feel like I wear a big sign that says, “Hey I am a HOMO!”
I’m sorry Lindsay that you got stabbed in the eye.
I’m sorry Chris that you got beat up.
I am sorry for anyone who has been physically or emotionally hurt by another person because of their sexual orientation or because their perceived sexual orientation.
We need to all learn to respect each other. That includes all people. Maybe I don’t agree with someone, so what agree to disagree. Co-exist. If someone rubs you the wrong way, disengage. What good does it do to engage and possibly get hurt? I know it’s hard and it doesn’t feel good when someone hurts you and I know you want to retaliate but think, is it worth being hurt or possibility killed?
I hope I haven’t offended anyone. I just was saddened by the fact that people have to endure bullying. All people irrespective of the sexual orientation need to know they are worth something and that it is important to surround yourself around people who build you up, and if you can stand up to those who bully others by using your words.
For Example:
Bully: Hey Faggot, how’s your boyfriend?
Victim: I’m not gay…
You : Hey (Bully’s Name) don’t call him a faggot, it’s not cool.
Let’s go (Victim’s Name)
Sorry my example is kind of weak but you get the point.
BE NICE TO EACH OTHER< EVEN IF YOU ALL DON’T AGGREE!!!!!
World peace isn't too much to ask for... =/
