Stop Using Religion as an Excuse to Hate

posted by XDRoseLuvsHP

Okay, this is seriously starting to get on my nerves.

People will say that being gay is wrong, ou that it's not they who hate gays, but God who hates gays. I think this is pretty outrageous.

I myself am not Christian, but let me tell you, I do not know of a single other religion who has anything against gay people (besides Naziism, but that is a political party, not a religion, and not too many people are a fan of theirs anymore). But I did learn about the Christian religion in my Global History class at school (historically, not religiously. We did all different religions). Guess what? It is...

My mother always told me I was the weird and wild child. But as I grew up I began to belive it with the way I live and the way I see life. I see life as a box of cxrayons with some many different couleurs to choose from to make a pretty picture called life.

5 Times Movie/Network Studios Prevented LGB Inclusion

posted by sarabeara

There's no denying the fact that LGBT representation in populaire media is lacking. Although this can be attributed to several different complex societal factors, one troubling and reoccurring symptom of this homophobia is TV and movie studios preventing the inclusion of an LGB character, despite the fact that the creators/scriptwriters specifically envision the characters as LGB. Here are 5 examples of this depressing bigotry.

Note: This only includes LGB because I don't know of studios blocking any characters from being transgender. Not saying that this hasn't happened before, just that I don't...

Spread A Little Love.

These are my vues and thoughts about being a straight christian, but still supporting gay rights.

I wear a cross. It's a little golden traverser, croix with a tiny ruby in the middle, being I'm born in July, and that's my birthstone. It's a girt from my mom, and I might pass it on to the suivant generation when I grow up. It's very special to me. I wear it all the time unless I'm swimming ou bathing. I wear it in performances (I'm an actress-to-be and I play violin at school). Even when I was in a play about the ancient greek gods, I wore it under my robes. My whole family is part italian, so we are mostly...

Hello! Gay Now!

posted by Dragonclaws

While par no means perfect, the treatment of homosexuality in modern media is improving. Gay storylines were once introduced purely for shock value, but now their appearance is far plus commonplace and is often portrayed as legitimate drama (or comedy) alongside heterosexual narratives. However, while treatment of simple homosexuality has been increasingly progressive, bisexuality remains a subject without decent representation in many shows. This includes shows that would otherwise have a decent portrayal of homosexuality, but have somehow missed the bateau when it comes to the concept of being...

A Week of All Girls Summer School

posted by Corgilover183

For starters... It wasn't summer school. It's computer orientation. We get our computers and learn how to use the programs on it and how to actually use the computer. It's complicated. Anyways!

Right, so I was nervous. I didn't know anyone so I sat in the back of the room. Non of my old school Friends had gotten there yet. I checked in and found out who my teacher for the week was and everything and I pulled out my phone:

Me: Where r u?!
Peanut: We got stuck n traffic on the interstate! Sorry!
Me: I'm so scared! Idk anyone here!
Peanut: Chill! We got off, almost there!

I put my phone back in my bag...

Bisexuality Confusing You? A Few Words Of conseil

posted by Cinders

This article is slightly similar to the one I wrote a few months ago, link. But I couldn't help reiterating. Sorry if it's a waste of time.

My whole life I have been fluctuating between gay and straight. It was only in my senior an that I felt confident enough to come out to my close Friends in high school. I even had my first girlfriend. And being in such a warm, welcoming environment, I was able to openly discuss my feelings with others who shared them.

I found out that an that not only was I bisexual, but so were three of my Friends who were previously calling themselves "straight," just...

Coming Out Bisexual

posted by Spotty_Vision21

Well, I know I have been coming out as a lesbian here for several months now. Honestly, I didn't even consider bisexuality. I was still figuring it out. I'm not taking it back ou anything. Okay, let me explain.

I "realized" I was a lesbian last January. I was totally into girls. But I was wondering - I'd had a couple crushes on guys. A few weeks il y a I realized I'd made a mistake - I was bi.

I go through a spectrum, I realize. Like right now, I'm like 70% into girls, 30% into guys. But it shifts around a lot. That's where I though I was lesbian and such.

Just to let everyone know, I did make a mistake. Good luck to toi all!

America isn't as Far Ahead as we Think it is

posted by Spotty_Vision21

(Just so toi know, when I say Americans, I mean the US, not North America.)

I used to be proud to be an American. I believed we were such a great country. But, as time went on, that pride began to fade. The reasons to be proud diminished one par one. Recently, my eyes were completely opened and I realize just how far behind my country truly is.

All it took was one video. A commercial. It was for the Israel Gay Youth Group. I did research. I realized. South Africa is allowing gay marriage, as well as several other countries. Israel is very pro-LGBT rights. Most of their commercials montrer this sort...

Stupid Internet Homophobia

A lot of people on the Internet are link. That is, there is a lot of homophobia on the nets. Some of it’s trollish, but a lot of the time it’s from people being purely honest in their anti-homosexuality. For a lot of them, I get the idea that the communication based entirely in text causes them to forget the kind of tact they would otherwise employ in a face to face conversation. Admittedly other homophobes are intelligent and write carefully written and basically civil arguments, but they all tend to follow certain trends that are often as flawed as the little trolls. I’ll cover some...

My Bisexuality / Fear of Coming Out

posted by OneRedonkChick

I've been bisexual for quite some time now... since I was 10 years old to be exact. Generally, one would assume I was just going through a phase due to puberty and hormones, but almost 5 years have passed, and I still feel the same.
One thing I dislike about being bisexual is the possibility of being compared to the other bisexual chicks at my school...
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against other bisexuals, it's just that the bi-chicks at my school are rather... irritating. These girls are the type of people who are constantly in your face about their bisexuality, and bringing...

If toi believe Homophobia is wrong...

I am the boy who never finished high school because I got called a fag everyday.

I am the girl who was kicked out of her accueil because I confided in my mother I was a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because no one will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who held her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled night.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in a hospital because they would not let my partner of 27 years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the...

Things that just bug the hell out of me

posted by ImBooOK

So surfing through lovely YouTube, i was watching a much beloved episode of Ellen when i happened to look down at the comments.
The video was when Justin Bieber Graduated (Was bored OK?) and someone happened to commentaire "JB sucks, he is so Gay" and another posté "Yea, I hate him he is Gay with those earrings in his ear"
I got so irritated, Earrings are not just for girls! And just because a boy wears them, does not mean he is gay. And even if the kid WAS gay, doesnt mean he sucks just because he is Gay. I wanted to just find whoever wrote that and bash them with a smart stick. And then there...

This is also talking about gay double standards!

Im lesbian. I dont like bullying ou gay bashin ou desremination.
But when we say "Your an idiot" ou "Your a disgrace cause toi hate homosexuals" ...how is that helping us? People. If they dont like us, thats their choice. we cant make everybody l’amour us because we l’amour us.
If we are gay/lesbian/bi/trans..thats who we are. we know who we like and dislike and so does some straight person who isnt a fan of same sex couples. big fricken woop...theres gay people who think being straight is weird??
But that doesnt give them the right to ban us gays from doing what straights do, ou bullying gays, taking...

I hate when people use the word gay to mean for it to hurt someone on purpose. toi dont see us fellow gays going around saying 'EW YOUR STRAIGHT?!" i mean come on. its ridiculous. toi are who toi are and it isnt a choice. i cant just say 'Hey im going to stop being lesbian for today"
At my school, many students would use the word gay to mean stupid, boring, gross, and other negitive meanings. 8th grade year, i was going through my bisexual state of mind. Do i like girls? do i still like guys? I like guys. But im not atraccted to...
