Excuse me Sir, You're wrong.

This is where I rant about how today's society is just plain wrong. How can we seek a utopian society when we are at war not only with other countries but with oursleves?

Gay's and Gay Marrige

Define "gay": A person whose sexual orientation is to persons of the same sex. In today's society it is beginning to become acceptable to be gay. Many people classify themselves as bisexual or bicurious (not sure whether or not you're attracted to members of the same sex, but willing to find out) and think nothing of it.
I had a gay/bi friend explain to me what it was like to be gay and when she found out she was gay. She said that she had known she was bi since elementry school but when she met her current girlfriend there was just no going back. She said that it wasn't a matter of being gay or bi. It was simply a matter of being in love, and whether she found that love from someone of the same or of the opposite sex didn't really matter, as long as it was love. I've thought about this a great deal and I've come to realize that atleast every girl I know is bi, in the way that they wouldn't mind falling in love with someone of the same sex so long as it was love. It made me wonder what the big deal was with gay marriges. Why do people think it so wrong to be attracted to persons of the same sex if so many people are, in fact, impartial? Why do people have so much against being different when so many people strive to be just that?
During teenage years it is normal to rebel and to try and be different. It's normal to expirement with things such as drugs and booze. It's even normal to have your first sexual experience or at least to hear and know more about sex then parents would like. These days, it is even normal to know and be close with people who are gay and bi. Most teenagers accept it and think nothing of the fact that their best friend is dating someone of the same sex. Why should they care? why should anyone care? They shouldn't. Parents should take a hint from their teenage children and relax. Being gay doesn't make you different it just makes you you.
People need to accept gays and be more open minded. They need to not worry that their child may be gay or that their two male neighbors are married with kids. In fact, those kids grow up knowing how to accept different people and different lifestyles. Different strokes for different folks.
