Yeah, I had an "AHA" moment a while ago where it felt like my whole world was closing in on me. It was the first time I'd really thought of WHY people are against non-heterosexual lifestyle, in particular marriage, and I went...it's all because I don't have junk in my pants. Like, holy fuck. Really? That's it. I could be the exact same person and we could have the exact same love but if I had a dick or she did, then it would be fine? THAT'S SO FUCKED UP!
Idk, before that for some reason I never so it in such a black and white way but at the end of the day, that's what it comes down to. It's ridiculous. Sexuality doesn't change the fundamentals of a person. If anything, I tend to think that the queer community are BETTER people because they understand what it's like to be part of a stigmatized group and to feel like you're not free or understood. Those things, in my experiences, make you accepting, loving, persistent, and strong.
It just amazes me that some people care more about who I love or who I'm sleeping with than my talents or ambitions or knowledge or my heart. The world can be so bonkers. It breaks my heart that people feel like they are so alone or so disgusting that they feel their only option is to end their lives. I mean, I've had those thoughts before but it was never something I'd actually DO. To reach that point...to have your soul so broken. It's devastating.
It's not like I treat someone differently when I find out they're straight.. so wth would you treat someone differently if you find out they're gay or bisexual or trans or .......
What does make me feel better when I think of all this is that I realise that by being a person who's open to every kind of love, who recognizes all kinds of love and who doesn't judge people for it, my world is richer. You know? It's like.. when I see two guys holding hands I probably think "I want that too" whereas someone else might think "Omfg, it's two guys holding hands". Homophobia is actually something to feel sorry for because it makes your world so small. There's so many 'different' kinds of love out there - whether it be love between people from different cultures, or genders or whatnot - that if you're only open to "normal, hetereosexual, man/female" love, you're missing out on a whole damn lot.
