Family & friends…..

Now, I grew up in a pretty liberal household as a child. I was told about the human body at a young age, and what it does, where babies come from - and that not being the cabbage patch! So, when it came to asking about family as a child I was told the truth. I have gay members of my family and I love them to pieces, as I would any hetrosexual member of my family. The other day I had a friend visit and I guess I was quite shocked by their what I would call "shallow" or "selfish" opinion. Now this came totally out of the blue, we have been friends for about 10+yrs and talked about most things but not this. Their opinion I found personally offensive, their said being gay was "wrong" and that if their children ended up gay they would have no grandchildren. So I took a breath and said that women have no reason to physically be with a man these days with Medical practices to have children with - sperm banks, and the likes. Yet they went on to say it wasn't "natural" and it was "wrong".


Now don't get me wrong……everyone is entitled to their own opinion - tis why we're all individuals. But for me I found this offensive. In MY opinion, who cares what sexual orientation you may be, if you're happy and the person you're with looks after you and is there for you…….what is the problem?!?!?!?!?!? Society these days are expecting gay people to come right out in the open with their orientation, what the hell for? So they can be judged by the narrow minded and shallow people of this world? No wonder half of the gay population still hasn't come out of the closet. In some places of the world STILL gay people will be physically harmed for being the way that they're born, and that is just not right.


What do you all think? Have you been in a position where you have been judged for your sexual orientation? Or do you have family members that are anti-gay or are infact gay themselves.


Food for thought……
