Redundant Gay Rebuttal

This is my blog so I can write anything I damn well please. What a great feeling of freedom that is. Seems small compared to alot of other things but it is huge. There was a time in my life when I didn't have any opinion about gays or straights. It never entered my teen aged realm of pimples and crushes and homework. Then one day when I was gazing lovingly at my three children who were very young there happened to be some comment about gays coming from the tv. I can't remember if it was a sexual innuendo, a slur, or any of the context except it made me THINK about the subject. My brain quickly jumped past the sexual act to ponder if one of my children was gay (I express it this way because I believe that a person is born with their sexuality hotwired into their DNA so even if I am looking at a 2 year old who hasn't had sex yet I consider that person to be gay just the same as blonde haired, brown eyed, etc.) and I realized in that moment I would not love my children any differently. Once I had made it personal that feeling expanded to the rest of the universe. Which makes me ponder about these people with gay bashing/hateful agendas.

The gay bashers simply haven't given it an educated thought, won't give it an educated thought, have no education when it comes to the issue.

Not MY son or daughter. No way. It could never happen! I would disown them, ect, ect, ect,.
Closed mined individuals open no doors and live a closed life.

I think it's safe to say that we can add the final line to the quote... They simply have no education. Period!
