Someone asked me today how do I feel about gay marriage. OK, scratch that, I wasn’t actually asked. I was left mouth open. Maybe my own ignorance caused me to be stumped today when the poor man plainly said to me ‘I assume that you are against gay rights, right?’ and right after that I had the feeling the dude actually winked at me as if saying ‘it doesn’t matter, just say you are’. Unfortunately, my answer was not to their likes. If you know me, you know that I believe gay rights are human rights. I mean, aren’t gay people still PEOPLE?!
…well,y’all if the bible says it’s’possed to be that way, then it’s s’possed to be the way, darnit; not the other way around, y’ko’ what I’s sayin’?
THE HELL I AM
Tell me this… is someone in a wheelchair less than a person who is able to walk? Of course not; they could sue and you’d be up to your nose in shit if you ever said that aloud. Is -then- an animal less of an animal if it has a genetic defect? Or is a chimp less of a chimp if it’s retarded? No. it is still part of the same race as all the other animals in their classification, even if it is a different specimen!
See, the thing is, I am pissed, and I know that a gay person and a retarded chimp isn’t exactly what you would want to put in the same sentence EXACTLY BECAUSE PEOPLE ( the ignorant/retarded/fucking stupid kind) will misinterpret it on the first chance they get!
Ooh, but wait. There’s more. A fucking retard and someone in a wheelchair HAS THE RIGHT to call out gays and call them names and treat them like dirt and discriminate and whatnot. Yes, he/she does! Wait, it doesn’t say so in the constitution? Oh! Duh! Wellll, it doesn’t because it’s a given right! You didn’t know? You are allowed to do ANY of the shit you ever wanted, as long as you are not gay. YOU.HAVE.RIGHTS. But gays don’t. Now apart from that being the very definition of a hypocrite way if thinking, chew on this. There are a hell of a lot of species of ANIMALS which over the years have been discovered to present homosexual behaviour.
See, this is it right here. This is why I get pissed off when ignorants like the dude from earlier open their mouths to talk without even a shred of guilt in their hearts for the hate they spread.
Let’s lay off on the sarcasm for a fraction of a second, and state the facts. The constitution (of any democratic state, regardless if it is American, European or anything else) grants the people of those states freedom of religion. What the fuck does that mean, if you cannot be FREE from it, too? Okay, I get it. Freedom OF religion. But where is the fucking freedom FROM religion? And… How many of you actually knew before reading it in this blog post that many ancient beliefs allowed unions very similar to today’s definition of marriage to people of the same sex? That the ancients believed in the DUALITY of people’s spirits. DUALITY = of two kinds ( both female and, male). Yes, believe it or not, our spirit is genderless. And we come into this world in search of what? Life? No, that can’t be. Life is short among the living. Kindness? Well, don’t mind me laughing while I wish you good luck with that and send you on your way? Give me the very definition of something (a word) and tell me what are we really looking for on Earth. The path to enlightenment? Nah, that would be too obvious for people who are too connected to their souls to make such a mistake as hate. Then what is? Love? Some never live to find it. But coming back to the problem~
I had the unpleasant chance to ‘meet’ the Westboro Baptist Church, and see their members in actions. With banners that make you want to puke and with children no more than 3 to 4 years of age, chanting and singing songs like “God hates the people/children/America”
My reaction - WHAT THE FUCK?! How can you say such a thing?!?! And most importantly – HOW CAN YOU FUCKING TEACH A 3 YEAR OLD THAT GOD HATES HIM?
God does.not.hate!
Here’s a lovely video- please watch the full story. The catch after you watch the short story
ABC recently did an interview with a girl who grew up in Westboro Baptist Church and began to grow a brain and question what they were doing. You’ll see in the video that they like to do hate parodies of popular music, they love to do Lady Gaga, and Adam Lambert’s AMA kiss is in one of the vids on their site.
Let me just say that I know a bit about the Baptist church, as I know people who grew up inside one; it was small and backwoods country as they get, but it was still nothing like this. Westboro is not even considered a real church; it is more of a cultish family. Most of the members are related, and it is run by the head of family who use to be a civil rights lawyer in the sixties, believe it or not.
Even the KKK put a disclaimer on their site that they have nothing to do with Westboro and think that they are way over the crazy line.
You know you’re doing hate right if even the KKK thinks you’re too freaky.
Here’s the catch. The girl who grew up with those people. Notice the light in her sad eyes? And her eyes regardless of being sad because her fucking parents broke her completely, not just her heart, her eyes give away the fact she is fully capable of endless love and joy. And that love is what gives her strength to become a better person. It is –the love- the sole reason she is still hanging in there, and getting past every day successfully. Despite what they did to her, she does NOT hate them, but she LOVES them. Her eyes are full of hope for tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after… Now compare them with the eyes of her parents, siblings etc. do you notice the darkness, hopelessness, misery? What do those people live for? Do they live to hate others? I am so truly and deeply sorry for them in that case. A dark, damp life with no joy and love sounds more like punishment to me than a chance to redeem our souls.
Moving forward, I remember saying something about banners to you. I am not going to say anything in writing over here because you might not believe me. Here are some pictures.
“God hates you’
“God hates America”
“God is your enemy” ???
“Thank God for dead soilders”
“Pray for more dead soilders”
WTF?! -ooh, and btw~ as you can see, the most vile messages are usually carried by children. Are they afraid of carrying them ? Big bad grown-ups? Afraid?
Ok, here’s a good one “Don’t worship the dead” – is that supposed to be an allusion to Jesus, who died to save humankind?! These guys would have crucified Jesus 33 years earlier than the other guys! ( PS- Jesus died at age 33.)
Fuck that shit up; contrary to what the majority of the fucking ignorants out there (that eventually will read this and then hate me for being a straight CHRISTIAN woman with a point of view different from the brainwashed fucktards that spew hate, I am actually one of those idealistic know-hows that believe that freedom of speech actually works somewhere in the known universe. So if people who hate from the core of their soul (usually on gays/lesbians and shit) actually exist, then why whouldn`t there be people who are made out of nothing but love? Constant, continuous and uninterrupted love, which brings light into the world and makes the world beautiful. Because, let’s face it. No matter in what dump you live in, hate makes you loath it even more, and LOVE makes it so beautiful you feel like your heart is going to explode of so much love. It makes you happy and it makes you use your eyes and SEE just how beautiful life is if you let light into your heart, into your soul, and let it light it up so bright that it can be seen from the fucking moon!!!!!
These idiots really think they know what God feels like?! That’s really dumb. But regardless, I am sure He is just an idiot without margins that forgives and loves (on a daily basis, oh course) those creatures that have the guts to call themselves human, when in fact, all the humanity was washed from their souls, and replaced with pure hate.
Isn’t it ironic though how people fled to the New World because of persecution from all over the place? Just sayin’… This small part was posted on idolforums.com by callmecrazy
“So you say Homosexuality as a sin? That it`s in the bible?
So is not treating your body like a temple, and women should have their heads covered, and a marriage is only valid if the woman is a virgin and if she isn’t, she shall be executed.
In Mark, divorce is prohibitedI assume for Homosexuality you are referring to Leviticus 18:6: “You shall not lie with a man as you lie with a woman, it is an abomination.” However Leviticus also includes prohibitions against round hair-cuts, tattoos, working on the sabbath, wearing garments of mixed fabrics, eating pork or shellfish, getting your fortune told, and even playing with the skin of a pig (there goes football!!!).
I believe in morality, which is doing what is right regardless of what I’m told, not in religion, which is doing what I’m told regardless of what is right. You’re welcome to your own interpretation of the bible and of politics, of course, but for me, I need more than “The Bible says so” to justify certain things in this world and certainly to judge them”
The reason I quoted that whole thing is because I couldn’t agree more, and I couldn’t add anything to make it better. That simple and short quote is perfect and can be interpreted in various ways. But then again, the thick – skinned ignorants will never get it.
People need to understand that it is not our place to judge. We are not allowed to judge. We are equals, we cannot judge eachother. (Again, I told you I cannot be cured of my idealism. In a perfect world, people would be equal, but is seems that in the real world some are more equal than others.)
I am going to refrain myself, and unfortunately cut this blogpost short because I am freakishly tired right now and I do not want to say any more offensive things towards certain people any more than I have already. If you want to read more about the WBC, I suggest you go to WIKIPEDIA and read there.
These are the people who are going to destroy our society, and this is the way it is going to fall. It has already started, and we can all feel our society going down hill. How would you feel if the WBC would picket something and have hating banners with messages for you? “God hates you, *insert your name here.*. Thank God for your dead relatives!”
See, you people need to fucking understand, people aren’t perfect, and they will never be. But don’t spew hate everywhere you go, just because you don’t believe in the same things that others believe. You want to be different? Do something beautiful/special for someone other than yourself. Don’t start pointing fingers, because none of us is without fault. I can assure you of that much. Nobody is impeccable, no person is without fault. We all have a judgement day ahead of us, but until then, I say live our lives full of love, not hate. The only thing God is most likely to hate, is hate itself. God is love, regardless of your religion. Maybe you who are reading this now, maybe your deity is Allah, or Buddha, or something else… but in the end, He does not hate, for He loves all of his creations.
As I was trying to say in the beginning , with the chimp euphemism… We are the same, but we are all different. And different is good. Different is perfect.
I bid you all a good night,
PS- congrats to California for making Proposition 8 Unconstitutional, and congratulations to everyone that can now happily take advantage of their RIGHT to marry. The fight was worth it, guys. *cyber hugs*
Until next time,
Lexxa~
