Editor,
Hatred: intense dislike or ill will. It is hateful to look down upon someone because they and their partner share the same gender. It is hateful to tell someone they’re “abnormal” because they aren’t living life the way you want them to.
Intolerance: unwilling to accept views, beliefs or behaviors that differ from one’s own. I have no tolerance for bashing a type or form of a human being. I am not looking down on your religious beliefs. I’m looking down on people who don’t accept others for who they are.
I am also very accepting of feedback from my letters. To James Sisler, I am a very grown up individual but I’ll have you know, love from my puppy is one of my favorite forms of love.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Bible and Christianity is based on love. One of God’s biggest lessons and hopes is spreading love. In the Bible, in the book of John, it is written: “These things that I command you, that you love one another.” Thank you for restating my opinion. Love one another rather than look down on each other.
Gays are not a minority. Their population is growing every day. With that said, I believe I am correct by saying everyone will be accepted sooner or later. Even if you don’t want to get over that fact, you’re going to have to, because it’s happening.
In one of Macklemore’s songs he says, “a world so hateful, some would rather die than be who they are.” Is that what you want? Let’s turn the tables around and remember hatred towards things like gender, race and religion. Was it love that created separate white and black bathrooms, or love saying women had no rights and should be treated like a rug to be walked all over? No. It’s hatred, and it’s wrong. Am I going to be condemned next because I’m white and my boyfriend is Native?
May God bless same-sex couples, because they have every right any of us “normal, regular and standard” people do.
