What Is Normal?

Today, something hit me. I walked into my English Room and there was a poster from the previous class labelled "Homosexuals". There was a bunch of stickies under it with words. I assumed the activity was "What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word..." Sadly enough most of the words were "weird", "odd", "strange" .. "NOT NORMAL" .. this got me thinking. What isn't normal? More so, what IS?

I never understood homophob's. Why does ones preferences and sexual orientation have to be of your concern. There is absoloutly nothing wrong with being attracted to the same gender. I have a strong opinion on the discrimination against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transexuals etc. - and that is that its no ones god damn business but their own. Many, not all, struggle a long time before coming out, and when they do, are you really going to make them regret their decision? No, either you support it or say nothing at all.

Watching Lesbian Answers - Jenna Anne really inspired me. - She put it in a whole different perspective, and that was, what if  gay and lesbian was the "normal" and straight was, well "weird"? Imagine how different life would be. Imagine, If you were a boy, and you were told liking girls was wrong. weird. strange. odd. How would YOU feel? Imagine everyone judging you. Imagine waking up in the morning and knowing when you leave the house people will stare. They'll know you're "different". So before you judge someone on their sexual orientation, put yourself in their shoes.

And if you're still negatively judging, then mind your own god damn business and go fuck yourself.

There is nothing wrong with being homosexual. There is nothing wrong with being straight. Or both for that matter, but it is wrong to judge. So don't. Think before you speak. Discrimination is wrong, and I think by now we should all know that. So when you're asked what normal is in terms of sexual orientation, your answer should be "what is normal?"

P.S. I'm christian & im "pro-gay" & god does NOT hate me for it. - I am not a bad christian, and neither are any of god's children, he loves us all unconditionally.
