Us humans, we need love. It is a blessing that may be from our parents, children, siblings, friends or the beloved ones. Where ever it comes from, love is love. But as humans, we like to have things divided, classified and labeled. Love may come from people in any age, size, shape, color and even gender. It is a matter of being lucky enough to accept it and cherish. Because, that one person who will lift us off the ground with nothing but the feeling of pure joy all over the heart, would not come around our lives every day. Whether it is man or a woman, the warm feeling of care and affection they extend is love. The word homosexuality is acknowledged by many groups in many ways due to the cultural and religious backgrounds they are raised with. Many reject homosexuality believing it as a sin, where some consider it rather odd or queer and some see it as a useless idea which makes no sense. I believe it as another word for love. It is true that no man can create a child with another man and nor can a woman with another woman. But instead of looking at homosexuals bearing children, why don’t we take a peek at the disowned and orphan children all around the world. If being heterosexual and bearing children is the most important aspect in it, why disown them or abandon them? If it is so peculiar to see two men holding hands in public, how unusual is it for a black man to be a Caucasian and the King of Pop? If the Wright brothers were crazy, will we still ship our ways around? If Neanderthals didn’t try enough either we would be extinct, or still dwell in caves. Change is a hard thing for us to accept, yet have to since its all around us. But, being gay isn’t different, accepting homosexuality is the change. Being gay is as normal as breathing and living, except you live with hope of being loved and love someone who is as same as you are. Being gay is being in love with someone who understands you as much as you understand them and someone who knows everything about you without having to explain. It may or may not involve butterflies in your stomach; it may not include roses, chocolates or cards. It might take a few restless nights and struggles and fights to realize that you’ve found love. And when you do, will you let it go depending on the gender difference and the social ego? Being gay doesn’t mean queer, it isn’t something to be ashamed of. Being gay doesn’t make one deserve to be bullied or get beaten. Being gay doesn’t mean anything different from me and you. Being gay is also being able to stay close to the loved ones, staying side by side with them in times hard and smooth, not letting them go when they’ve fallen physically or mentally, keeping them warm and closer to your heart, hear them laugh, see them smile, hold them when they cry, show them love and be with them where ever they want to be. Being gay is being capable of loving someone despite of their gender… If you deserve to love and to be loved, so does everyone! Support gay rights and treat equal, because we all are equal… Add in if I missed anything important :icon_bigg
