Exactly how it should be.

I don't have much to say because I think it's all pretty much said in the video.

We can learn from these kids.

This is exactly how the world should be.

Love is love, no matter what.

Happy Wednesday :)

When did you choose?

So good ole Shaner posted this on facebook and I absolutely love it because it's always been something that I've thought about when it comes to the topic of homosexuality.

There is the constant argument of whether being gay is a choice or if you are born that way.

Nature vs. nurture if you will.

Growing up homosexuality was still something that people tended to keep under wraps, at least in my town because it's a small, fairly conservative place that probably would have not been that accepting.

Sad to say, but true and I am sure we all know some places that are like that, and I am happy to note that I don't believe it's necessarily that way now, but again this was when I was growing up.

So when the topic of whether gays decided to be gay or if they were born that way I wasn't really sure what to think.

Without the exposure to this lifestyle part of me felt that it was human nature, scientific even to be heterosexual that no one would be born that way because the whole point of humans were to reproduce.

However, part of me thought I am not sure no one, again at least in my town, would choice to go through the hurt and ridicule the homosexuals have to face.

And I want to be clear that I've never had a problem with homosexuality, I just wasn't sure how someone got to be that way.

Several years down the road I got to thinking about it and realized that there was NEVER a point in my life where I logically had to make a choice between liking boys or girls.

Never once was there a moment where I thought "Hmm...do I want to like boys or do I want to like girls?" and then made the decision to like men.

It just simply was.

And that is why to this day I firmly believe that it's not a choice, it just is.

Granted there are those that "experiment" with relationships and might trying hanging out with boys and girls and maybe that's a choice but I feel what is meant to be will be.

There are those that genuinely like both genders and even then I don't think that's their choice either.

What is the point of all this you might be asking.

Well my point is how can people hate someone for something they really have no choice over?

That's like someone hating you because you have brown eyes or something...I mean ya can't really help it can you?

Sure you can try to change your eye color with contacts but no matter what you are what you are.

You're a brown eyed person!

Just like gays are what they are, gay, and so what if they are!

They are still human beings with feelings right?

Right!

So stop all the hatin' and join the love game on this one folks.

Hating is a battle that you are going to lose because people cannot help you they truly are in the end.

Happy loving Thursday!

I will never understand...

I will never understand why people find it acceptable to treat another person poorly because of their skin color.

I will never understand why people think they can do a better job than another because of their gender.

I will never understand why people think homosexuals getting married is even remotely going to affect them in any way what-so-ever.

I will never understand why I live in the melting pot of the world but God forbid I say "Merry Christmas" or there is a Heaven Street in New York.
**I am saying this in regards that I am a Christian, I know other religions experience this and that is not ok either!

I will never understand why people think it's ok to call mentally disabled people "retards".

I will never understand why degrading racial slurs are still in existence and being used by those whose ancestors would have been deeply disrespected by it.

I will never understand why in this day in age kids are bullying because of differences...we should be educating not degrading.

I will never understand why one person who is not the same as anyone else on this planet truly believes that another human being is any less because they to are different.

I just don't get it...

Marriage Equality vs The Supreme Court

I don't normally do two posts in one day but today I wanted to show my support and love for the LGBT community!

Most of you know that I am in great support for marriage equality and today the Supreme Court gets to make a decisions that could change history for the community itself, and for America.

I can't say for sure how I feel the decision will go, but I know what I hope!

Let's hope the Supreme Court makes both just and loving decisions!

Let's hope for an equal America!

Pinterest for Equality.

Recently I have been seeing a lot equality, or lack there of, issues floating around.
Obama supporting gay marriage, we recently watched Red Tails, and the list goes on.

I believe most of you know that this is something that I'm passionate about.

I've never been able to understand how or why people think they can treat others poorly because they are different.

Does skin color, gender, or different sexual preference really make someone superior or inferior?
I can't possibly see how since we are all human beings!
I don't think I'll ever understand it, but I will change it.

Please note that I do not care about people's sex lives.
What others do behind closed doors is their business.
My fight is equality for all!

Yep, I'm a bit of a feminist too. I think this is one of the top things that grinds my gears.
Yeah men might be stronger than women (depends on the man & the woman doesn't it!? I know some pretty little guys and some pretty big girls!) and I understand men are usually the ones to keep working once a woman has kids, but come the eff on!
I work just as hard at my job as a man works at his. In this day in age it's bullshit.
