Quote From: nikki_pvnI seek no 'truth' in this debate, I simply believe that people have a right to their own lives and noone deserves to be harrassed or degraded because they do not 'conform' with another persons view or way of life.
I agree, I would have liked to see a bigger response from the gay people, I doubt that they are hiding I think that they are tired of 'explaining' .
Jenna, my truth is in my heart and the people that are in it.
Thanks so much for this message. I have read much of the posts about what people think of Gay people here tonight. It scares me. It sickens me. I am surprised at the intolerance of many here. I am shocked at the opinions from heterosexuals about what it is like to be gay, or born or made gay, or can you change to heterosexual. How would you know?
Why would I choose to be gay? To be denied the basic rights in this country (US). To be considered a second class citizen. To have someone else's religious beliefs thrown into my face; whether or not I am a sinner, whether or not I deserve respect and love. To be afraid to walk down the street holding my partner's hand because I love her. Afraid I may be attacked, beaten up or even killed because I CHOOSE to love someone. To have my partner be denied the right to grant my last wishes at my death because my family doesn't validate our love and relationship. To be denied the right to marry the person I love most in the entire world. Who in their right mind would choose this?
If any of you have questions about what it is like to be a lesbian/gay in this conservative and very judgemental society; please feel free to ask . I won't reply to questions regarding reconciling my homosexuality with religion as my spiritual beliefs are private and sacred.
Sincerely,
NA
