Love is Love

Hey again,

I guess I'm getting into this blogging shizz. But it's early days yet. Anyway, it's day 2 of the Easter Holidays and I feel like writing again. 

Question. When you see/read/hear/write/say the word 'love', what do you think? Do you think of a man and woman happy together? Maybe a marriage? Well, personally, when I become in contact with said word, I don't just think of a man and woman. I immediately see all the love couples there can be:- Lesbian couples, Gay couples, Straight couples, Bi Sexual couples, a couple involving a transgender. Although there maybe different orientations, that doesn't stop it from being love. 

Homophobia really annoys me. Especially when the homophobic person is practically a bully. I was out delivering LGBT surveys with my friend the other day. Now, I'm straight and I believe I will always will be, though there is no telling what the future holds, but I believe I will always be straight. Anyway, I have a lot of LGBT friends and I highly support gay rights. We were going about the town and we asked random people to complete the survey on behalf of my friend's project,Bridges, to which the majority agreed and happily filled it in. We then came across this middle aged bloke who was with his family. 

We asked the family if they wished to participate in completing the survey. When told what the survey is about he replied "I hate gays. I hate them." Now, according to my friend, I didn't have a nice look on my face. We said "Okay, well you can put that in the survey." He declined and once again repeated the statement "I hate gays. I cannot stand them, let me pass, I am going into this shop." Now, I played it cool, but seriously, what is that guy's problem? Some dudes love other dudes. What, is that going to kill you? Don't like gay love? Don't get it on with a person who has the same junk in their trunk as you! If you don't like gay people, blame the straight people, they are the ones who keep giving birth to gays. 

I really don't understand the hate against people who don't love the opposite sex. It's no big deal. It really isn't. I know a lot of LGBT people and they are lovely. There's nothing different about them. So what if they aren't straight? They still put one shoe on at a time and break wind like the rest of us so seriously, what is the problem? People are fussing over nothing. 

Anyways, enough of my rant. Today was the Bridges Social Event which I went along to help as I am an editorial member. It was good fun, though it lacked people. It was still fun though. I still socialized, just with people I knew. And Martyn gave me a £15 iTunes card to download LGBT music to play- I know have the likes of Johnny Cash and Ke$ha on my phone. Not exactly what I had in mind, but okay.

There's not much else for me to say on this topic now. So I'll leave it here. Maybe I'll write about another topic later. Depending on how I feel.
