Gay Pride
This is a bit of a follow on from something Mehnaz posted. It's nowhere near as justified as her rant was, but I needed to vent...
To the jackass sitting in MacDonalds, and all those people on the bus
Yes. I went to the Gay Pride festival today. Yes, I got soaked. Yes, I came home wearing my pride flag. And I wish to God I could believe that the reason you all chose to stare at me, point me out to your partners, and have a little giggle, had nothing to do with that flag. But I somehow doubt it.
I'm not, as it happens, gay. But there's no way you could know that, is there? A flag tells you nothing about a person, so don't assume, based purely on something you've seen. You know nothing about me, who I am, my life or my choices. Even if you did, you would have no right to judge. Is it allowable to think someone's a bad person because they're black, or disabled, or old. No. Sexuality's the same thing. It's who you are, not who you've chosen to become.
But even if I was gay, so what? It doesn't make me a mass murderer, it doesn't make me a paedophile, it doesn't make me a bad person. It doesn't make me an object of ridicule, or it shouldn't. I wish I could believe that if I wasn't wearing that flag and sitting with a girl, you would still be staring, but I can't. I wore that flag today for two reasons. One, to keep me warm. Two, to show my public support for people who choose to be gay, and who are proud of being gay.
Those of you who think it's wrong to be gay, you're just sheep. You think that because they're the minority, they must, therefore, be wrong. That makes you stupid, narrow minded little twats. Simple as. I don't support anyone's right to be a bigot. I nearly made this entry friends locked. But that just bows to those stupid people. So if you don't know me, and you read this, let me know your opinion if you dare. Send me abuse if you must. Because it's people like you who hold this world back., and your hatred would just prove me right.
'Scuse my self righteousness. I'm just sick of gay being a bad thing.
