Homophobia. One Of Many.

It's time. I promised discussions on this very topic, and I was really going to wait a while longer but I'm pissed. Extremely pissed. See, Trinidad & Tobago is homophobic. I mentioned that before, yes? Well, apparently there was some NGO movement to get the government to legalize it. Which is interesting. But I was reading the article online and I saw a ton of comments. Stupid, homophobic comments. Now really, in the spirit of being fair if you want to be homophobic go right ahead. Just don't bring it around me. But when you're STUPID that's a different issue. I'd like you all to take a look at the following quote from aforementioned comment list.

"Not because it is popular it is right. What about God's rights? Was not this the reason for the Biblical version of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? I sincerely hope that Government does not legislate on what could easily be corrected by sex change operations.Let us keep it as Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve."

That's the tenth comment from the top on this here page. (http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_news?id=161478770) Okay, so let's examine that comment. Your poor grammar will be ignored for the purpose of this post, let's move on to your comment about sex changes. Firstly, what!? You want me to have a sex change? I'm gay. G-A-Y. By freaking DEFINITION that means I'm a BOY who likes BOYS. If I was to have a sex change, that'd be another form of "curing" homosexuality. Secondly, last I checked sex changes weren't exactly possible. Sure, you can perform a high cost, high risk surgery, but do the...parts actually work? So rather than getting the same freedom you get, I should put myself under MORE risks, stress and drama? I don't think so. I don't want to spend a great portion of my life injecting hormones into my body to maintain an image I don't want. I'm gay, and there's a difference between gay, asexual, transsexual, a cross-dressed and every other thing!

If we were to argue religion, lets not forget that the "body is the temple of the lord." I think changing your SEX might be worse than having gay sex. But who knows. Most Christians I know are anti-sex changes. 

You know what's wrong with homophobes? They make no sense. I'm yet to here a rational arguement against homosexuality. Don't you dare argue god with me, because not everyone is of your religion and religions give people the FREEDOM of choice. So with religion successfully taken off the table what does that leave? The next most popular one is animals. Animals aren't gay, so why should we be!? Ignoring the fact that we shouldn't take lessons from our {so called inferior kin} guess what, animals ARE gay. Yes. Indeed! On that page I linked above there's some fool who claims that's a "lie made up by the homosexuals." Yes, of course we made it up. 

Next? I've heard some outrageous claims that straight people don't flaunt it, and that's why homosexuality is wrong. Because we flaunt it. You DO flaunt it. Picture if you couldn't walk down the street with your boyfriend or girlfriend and hold their hand. If you couldn't kiss in public. If you were in high school and couldn't introduce them as your b/gf? If you couldn't get married in a fancy church surrounded by your family. If you couldn't open introductions with the words "this is my husband/wife -" THAT'S flaunting it. Straight people flaunt it EVERYDAY. They have no idea that they flaunt it either, and that's the funny thing.

Please, if there's anyone out there with a logical arguement against homosexuality, send me an email, I'll be happy to debunk it in my next rant about homophobia. Now, I've got homework to go and do, so I'll end this post here. mathiasisgod@live.com
