Just a Thought.

So I’m sitting in a computer lab at school.  This computer lab is right next-door to St. Mary’s Academy and I was thinking about how if I had a daughter, I would probably want her to go to an all-female school.  I have my reasons, but anyways, I started looking up admissions requirements for it.  I eventually made my way to looking at Portland Christian schools because there were a few people that went to my high school that transferred from PCHS. 

WELL.  They only have two bullets under their admissions requirements.  One is a disclaimer that basically says they don’t discriminate and all this other stuff.  The other one is: at least one parent must be a Christian and must attend a Bible-believing church.

That sounds cray.  You don’t even have to be a Catholic to attend St. Mary’s, but you MUST have at least a parent that is a Christian to go to Portland Christian?  It’s not crazy that they require you to be these things, but I just wonder how they would know.  Like do they stalk your neighbors?  Do they just take your word for it?  Do they do background checks and hook you up to a lie-detector?  

C’mon.  

North Carolina Sucks Anyways.

Not really.  I’m sure there are many great things contained in your little discriminating little state.  Kidding….again.

Okay, so I usually don’t comment on these types of things because honestly, it doesn’t get anywhere.  BUT, this is my own, personal blog, and I really feel the need to say something.

Someone please tell me what’s so wrong about same-sex marriage besides the fact that you believe that your God said it’s wrong in the Bible.  Please explain this to me.

I have read in the Bible where it says it’s wrong, but the version I read it in was NIV. Keep in mind that the Bible has been translated and translated and translated and every single sentence has been dissected in a way so all you folks can understand what it says without all the “arts” and “thous.”  Also keep in mind that I can translate and dissect the statement,”I hate you,” into,”I love you,” quite simply.

Obviously, I’m one for same-sex marriage.  I believe in human rights and equality for everyone.  And don’t twist my words.  I believe in equality for everyone until you mess up, like murdering someone.  Having interest in someone of the same sex is no where near the “wrongness” in comparison with murder.  Don’t even try to say that it is.

Anyways, marriage is a huge step for everyone.  Marriage isn’t a show, it’s a promise.  It’s a promise to yourself and your partner that you want to be together forever, and gay/lesbian people know this, just like us straighties.  

I don’t understand why others want to oppress the LGBTQ community so much.  So what if they’re “different?”  Everyone in this world is different; no one is exactly the same.  

I have heard that seeing gay people kissing/touching each other is disgusting.  I agree.  I also think that straight people kissing each other and being lovey-dovey is gross too.  Haha, honestly.  I don’t like seeing any kind of people being all over each other.  It makes everything awkward.

I would also like to add that being gay or lesbian isn’t all about sex.  Many gay people are Christians and save themselves for marriage.  It’s about attraction and connection with the other person, not “wanting that dick/pussy.”

I have also heard some people bringing up their opinions about people who are for same-sex marriage.  I’ve heard that believing in same-sex marriage is “trashy,” and makes people seem different.  I don’t blame others for seeing me differently because for believing in gay-marriage.  I see others differently for being against it. I see them as unfriendly people.  I see them as people who don’t want the same rights for others because they believe that they are superior.  I see them as people who believe their God, who is supposed to love all of his children, is a being who picks and chooses who to accept and who to “save.”  

I just don’t understand why people want to be so hateful and so unfair.  I’m so grateful that I can marry someone who isn’t the same ethnicity as I am.  I’m grateful that I can live in a country that claims to be “free.”  I just want to pass this gratefulness on.  I want everyone to experience the happiness and joy of marriage that I will someday experience.  

This is going to be a life-long battle for some, and my heart breaks knowing that some people can’t experience the joys that most of us gets to enjoy for the simple reason that they are “different.”
