ORIGINAL: chatterbox24 The world is full of hate, yes, in every way, shape and form? People who are different should be eradicated and not accepted? Arrested? Killed? Painted with the same brush? Heteros, Homos, blacks, muslims, Christians, whites, government, the list is endless. Any leader who breaths this kind of stupidity is very dangerous. I would like to discuss homosexuality for a moment. This not meant to offend anyone. I would just like to openly put my view out there and tell a story. Recently I had an electronic transfer from my bank vanish into line air, I needed help from the bank to find the funds. I had contact with two men. The first man I would brand as strictly heterosexual, now I know that sounds prejudice, and I don't mean for it too but he had the deep voice, the masculine stature and very no nonsense attitude. I told him what happened, he clicked a few times on the computer, and basically told me good luck finding it and there wasn't much he could do for me. As he was telling me this I glanced over at another desk and there was another man looking at me, and speaking to lady co worker, and he had a smile on his face, I thought to myself, is he talking to me? I felt anger at this one man, who basically had a " I don't want to mess with you attitude" WHen he told me good luck, I said I don't need luck, took my folder to Derek, the smiling man, who was without a doubt gay. His voice was higher then mine, he sat feminine, and was prettier then me too. I sat down and he said what can I do for you? Do you know that man fixed my problem in a matter of minutes and smiled as he did it and recovered this large check? At that moment he was my miracle worker. Now on my personal note, do I believe God intended for us to sexually love the same sex? No I don't. Am I going to hate you for it? Absolutely not. Treat you different? Nope, unless your Derek, cause Derek was an angel to me, he would get better treatment then the "Good ole boy" I encountered at the bank. I still smoke. Huge habit I cant seem to break. Do you hate me for it? I was an adulteress and disgraced my family. Do you hate me for it? I used to be pretty volatile, yelling, cussing, feeding into a lot of hate that I was taught. Do you hate me for it? I would never knowingly, be part of an organization, who judged people with good hearts, because its wrong, blatantly wrong. I would also fight for their rights, just as I know many others would, even if it doesn't effect us directly. In the big scheme of things it effects everyone. Hate breeds hate. Love breeds love. IT is very sickening to see the prejudice of the world, when good people are abused. Now I know many of you all don't give give two hoots, to what I think and live by, but I felt very compelled to say it, and so therefore I did. I know you meant well, and I am glad you saw that a gay man was a nice person, and that good and bad comes in all groups, but your characterization of gay men as all being effeminate or 'non masculine' is a ridiculous stereotype. There are a lot of men who are soft spoken, kind of willowy looking, who are straight, and there are gay men literally who could ripe the doors off a car with their bare hands...
