it is getting increasingly difficult to live in a heterosexual dictatorship
we should stop discriminating against people who are in favoure of same gender orientation.
discrimination against ANYONE period is wrong, people sho0uld feel free to be open with their sexuality and not be afraid of being who they are
i believe that it should be an open issue and that everyone should be able to feel comfortable with who they are and their own lifestyle
my son is gay. A false accusation was made against him because he was gay. His ex-sister-in-law accused him of “sticking a knife up his nephews butt”
Long story short. No physical evidence was found, case is closed. Nothing happened. He agreed on his own to take a polygraph. Passed that with flying colors, paid for it out of his own pocket ($400.00) the ex-sister-in-law agreed to give an apology if he passed, he did. There have been no apoligies given and he is still be kept from the children. This horrible false accusation has caused him great emotional pain.
Discrimination has hurt my career and indirectly hurt my family. There needs to be a Federal Law to protect me at work. It has not hurt my mental health due to the fact that I am a very strong person.
My mother is gay..I remember when I was younger, I had alot of discimination in my life. It has left memories that I will never forget. Everyone should just stop discriminating other people. It’s ignorant, and hurtful. People need to get over themselves.
Discrimination is horrible, horrible thing. No one should ever have to experience something like that. We have a gay student at our school and they make fun of him and laugh at him and it’s really irratating. They yell out his name as he walks down the hall and he tries to ignore them but usually they walk up to him and start making fun of him. It’s ridiculous. We believe that there should be a Federal Law protecting gays/homosexuals and making sure they don’t get discriminated against. Next time you see someone who is gay/homosexual don’t make fun of them because it could hurt them mentally and physically if it goes too far.
ok i have friends who r gay and bi. so it does not matter. its a life choose.
Why do ppl do this type of stuff I know gays & bisexuals & it’s their choice to be that way, not mine. So why should anyone do this type of behaviour towards gay, lesbians & bisexuals. Us Christians need to start treating these ppl with respect, compassion & sensitivity. Jesus came to save sinners.
as i am reading all these posts i feel the need to also post my point of view. i would like to point out that all gays should have the rights that straight people do. i think not only Christians should be more open minded but everyone should. this is a debate, and very strong heart-ed topic to those who do and don’t believe in this whole topic. “make love not war” everyone has herd it and love it. but i think that even tho haters my not realize this, but to other people this is a war that is worth the right to “win” so say. everyone has the right to be safe and loved. i am all for gay pride and will fight again if need be to make sure the people with same- sex feelings feel safe and able to not worrie about assholes that my harass them.
