Last night I was watching Brothers&Sisters, which I am kind of ashamed to say is one of my favourite dramas. I could probably sit all day long and watch all the episodes from all the seasons, and probably cry over certain scenes where Nora actually shows her motherly love. But when I watched a particular episode, it got me thinking about homosexuals, because a son in that family happens to be a homosexual. And it occurred to me that some many people are not ready to accept the 'Gay-Way' of life.
It's a wonder how some people discriminate homosexuality. Actually, from perception, i believe the term 'Homosexual' should technically be speaking done away with. To me it's such a bad term like 'Arachnophobia' or even 'Root Canal' for that matter. Painful right? :) So imagine what a gay person feels. I personally don't have a gay friend. (I like using the term gay because it makes me feel that they are happy 24X7) But I accept them with open arms.
I say boohoo to the people who don't accept the 'Gay-Way' of life. How can you say that we belong to a free, modern, ever-changing world, when you yourself can't accept the fact that people change too? It's sad for parents who think that they have raised a child who is a devil child when they come out of the closet. Coming out of the closet is the toughest, I guess. I wouldn't know. But I feel sad when children are afraid to tell their parents that they are gay.
In my opinion, how can you discriminate people who are like you. In that case don't say that you are modern. Don't use a cell phone. Don't use a microwave or a fridge or anything modern. Life is all about acceptance. Take in what the world is. Know what is right and wrong. Know where to discriminate and where not to.
I know this blog post wont make much of a difference, but I wanted to speak my mind. If a God fearing person believes in going to hell for turning away a poor person, then turning away a person who is gay does the same damn thing. Think twice. Be equal.
