Let's Get Controversial.

I feel like the topic of homosexuality has been stalking my life lately so I'm gonna talk about it with you.

I probably have expressed my views of homosexuality at one point. I don't know. Probably...

Let me just say first that I will never persecute someone for being gay, lesbian, transgener, bisexual, blah blah blah. Never.

You know why?

Because they're human.

I've been thinking about humanity a lot lately. And I've been trying to look into the bodies of other people. What would it be like to be Obama, or Kevin, or my grandmother? To look at my hands and knowingthat thatthey aren't the same anymore?

Okay so my thoughts on homosexuality?

I don't know if it's something your born with or something you choose to do. But when you see people die for a cause, you have to believe it's something serious. When people kill themselves because of their sexuality... It has to be real, right?

Before, I always had this mentality that gay people should do whatever they want because they aren't hurting anybody. They seriously aren't hurting anyone. Not anymore than a straight person could.

Sometimes I think, what if I had a gay child or something. I don't know what I would do. But I couldn't possibly hate my child. If he/she was a good child, isn't that all that matters? The thought makes me feel uneasy because I know my parents would completely disapprove. I can't even imagine what they would think or do actually. I don't know... It's hard to think about it.

But I feel like I would support him or her.

I'm also going to bring up abortion. There was a time when I thought abortion was wrong. I was anti-abortion. Maybe not to the extreme. But I was anti-abortion. And I did a video on it freshman year and everything.

But I think my view has changed. Just slightly. My teacher shared his view about abortion and he's pro-choice. I don't know if he actually told us why or if I just formulated this by myself. Then in my Engineering class, when my Tech teacher was on a hiatus for a few days, we had an ethics worksheet to do and it had to do with smoking and money. And then the idea came to my head that even though I didn't support smoking, why should I care if other people did? As long as you're not smoking in my face, I'm really not bothered. Or at least I shouldn't be.

So back to abortion. I still don't believe in abortion. But now that I think about it, I think people should still have a choice. Isn't that what our country is about? Having a choice? If I was your friend or family member, of course, I would tell you I don't agree with it. But I don't think we should close down abortion clinics.

Of course, this mentality doesn't apply to all things. Like murder. No I don't agree with murder but if you wanna do it, it's your choice.

Uh heck no.

The main things are education and love. I really don't have my viewpoints straight at all. But I do know that education and love is something clear to me. It's something we all need, isn't it? We can't be ignorant. And we can't be lonely. Or you'll just hurt yourself or you'll hurt someone else.

I don't think we need anymore pain in this world.
