I’ve started this post so many times, but it’s always turns into a really aggressive rambling session, so I’m going to try and not go too crazy.
There is so much hate and viciousness in the world, and some of it is the result of something that the ‘hate-object’ has no control over, like skin colour, race, a disease or sexual preference.
As a child I was picked on a lot just because I’m half polish, but it doesn’t come close to what some people have had to go through.
Why is it that people are so afraid of same sex relationships? Or someone of another race and/or skin colour? I just don’t understand it. Prejudice is a horrible thing, and it’s keeping people from getting to know some very wonderful human beings.
I recently witnessed one of my LJ-friends suffering some very hateful remarks just because they like someone of the same sex. Stuff like that baffles me, how can someone base their evaluation of a person on a thing like that? I believe that if two people find each other and love each other, it doesn’t matter if it’s man and man, woman and man or woman and woman… the point is that they have found someone, and that is a beautiful thing.
Now the people on this person’s friend’s list were asked not to take any action against the people that did this, and we have respected that decision as far as I can see. I am still tempted to play detective and smite them bad, but I will respect my friend’s wish.
“Vengeance, pure and simple when people look most vicious, what you are seeing is not their animal side. It is the savagery that only humans can muster.”
(Robin Hobb – Fools Fate p. 581)
It's just so sad that a incredibly nice and friendly person should have to go through something like that.
The people who wave the bible in my face saying that homosexuality is a bad thing are among the people that piss me off the most. First off I’m not religious, so that excuse doesn’t work with me, second; the bible is full of crap like that.

People are not defined by their sexuality, race or what their family has done!
Each person has the freedom to live well and find love!
I had a lot more I wanted to say on this subject, but I can’t seem to focus, I might write more at another time… as for now I’ll just urge all of you to not let fear of the unknown and prejudice to stop you from getting to know some wonderful people.
