Dear person uncomfortable with the gay people

Dear person uncomfortable with the gay people.

Hello. Nice to meet you. My name is __________. I see that you feel a little uncomfortable with the gay people.

I've heard some people say that they're okay with lesbians, but not okay with gay men, because what those men do in bed makes you feel uncomfortable. I have a pretty easy solution. Picture your parents having sex. Picture them naked, and kissing, and touching. Picture one of your parents on top of the other. Know that they actually had to have done this at least once, and probably did it a lot more than that. They may even be doing it right now. I know that this feels like it should be illegal. I know it is not the prettiest thing for you to imagine. And it sure seems ungodly when you think about it. But here is the thing. People have sex. Some people have sex and it doesn't do anything for you when you think about it. But that doesn't mean your parent's intimacy should be outlawed. I don't think it's a big stretch to say the same thing for the gay guys. Stop picturing your parents or the gay people naked if it freaks you out. It's still okay.

I've heard some people say that God hates gay people. I think that God is going to be seriously pissed off at the people who say that. Jesus didn't say a thing about gay people. He walked the earth loving everyone. And the bible says "love thy neighbor". It says "Do unto others as you would have done unto you". It does not say "judge thy neighbor" or "disallow others the rights you enjoy yourself". Homosexuality is not actually listed as a sin. And even so, Jesus loved the sinners too. So before you use religion to back up your reasoning, take a closer look at the bible, because God is going to be pissed at you.

I've heard some people say that the word marriage should only be used when it involves only a man and a woman. As I understand it, this is supposed to protect the sanctity of marriage the institution as we have known it for hundreds of years. In fact, the sanctity of marriage was preserved from mixed-raced couples marrying, all the way up to 1967 in some states in the US. The sanctity of marriage has been preserved through Brittany Spears' 24 hour marriage and through the divorce rate rising to epic proportions. The idea of a sanctity of marriage is the unicorn of our time. It's a beautiful idea, but it isn't real. Basing your judgments about the gay people according to how it will influence the unicorns is not a good decision.

I have heard some people say that they just don't understand why the gay people can't just be straight people, because that would be a lot more comfortable for the straight people. The gay people would want to know the same thing about you, but they already know that you couldn't be a gay person any easier than they could be a straight person. If you think the gay people should just become straight people, than I want you to think of how difficult or easy it would be for you to become a gay person, and what you would need to do to make that work out for you.

If you have any more questions or concerns about the gay people, ask. We can all be happy on this planet together, if you open your heart you will see that everyone is very similar on the inside. Everyone just wants to love the people important to them, and be treated fairly.

Sincerely,
KR Munro
