Some people say homosexuality is a sin. It’s not. God is perfectly cool with it, and he feels the same way about homosexuality as he does about heterosexuality. Now, you might say, woah, woah, slow down. You move too fast. How could you have the audacity—the temerity—to speak on the behalf of God. Exactly, that’s an excellent point, and I pray that you remember it.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

In response to Mr. O (this is what we’ll call him) concerning Mr. Rick Perry, I’d like to say the following:
Religious people can practice their faith in schools. There’s no law against it. “Separation of Church and State” does not truly exist, or the children of the United States would not be singing Christmas Carols in school, teachers would not be allowed to wear their Santa hats to work, so on and so forth. The only thing that schools aren’t allowing is forcing everyone to practice that faith. And they shouldn’t be forced to practice, in Rick Perry’s case, the Christian faith in schools, because not everyone that goes to these schools believe in that faith.
And what does “renewed sense of our religious heritage” mean? Face it, not everyone in the United States practices the religion of “our” heritage. What the USA needs is a wake up call. People are different. Not everybody is Christian, not everybody is straight, not everybody is a cookie-cutter image of each other.
“…He feels it is unfit for *such activities* to be practiced when religious people…”
Unfit for ‘such activities’: unfit for other human beings to serve in the military because of their sexual orientation? What, are us gays too fierce for you? I mean, all some of us want to do is be able to be seen as a human being instead of just as our sexuality, and serve the country that discriminates against us but we love anyways and pray that someday things will change.
Well, I understand this topic is controversial, Mr. O, but as for me, I feel it is unfit for such discrimination to go on, and I feel it is hypocritical to continue to hate on us fabulous bitches while in our country’s “beloved” Dusty Old Book Written Ages Ago By Other Humans it says it’s also a sin to hate. All men are supposedly created equal. My religion and sexuality has never had any effect on you, Mr. O, and others’ religions and sexualities have never had any effect on anyone else. Let all the sexualities that aren’t “straight” be as common, as unimportant and as natural as being “straight”. Let people believe in what they want to believe in without having a “religious heritage” that they don’t believe in shoved down their throats in school.
My point is valid, in my opinion.
From Yours Truly,
Your Conscious.
