Ur so gay

"What's with you and gay people?"

"Nothing, nothing. It's just the sissy gay boys I can't stand. It's so unnatural. I'm fine if they keep quiet about it instead of acting like girls."

"Why should they keep quiet about it if that's who they are and that's what they want to do?"

"It creeps me out."

"Then how come you guys like lesbian porn so much? What's wrong with gay porn? What's the difference?"

"It's different la, you wouldn't understand."

"Oh yea? Try me. Is it because you feel threatened by other guys? That they will try to flirt with you?"

"Yea la. How would I know what they want to do to me?"

"So if it's a gay girl, it's fine? Cause they are weaker than you?"

"Pretty much. I know they won't try to hit on me, at least."

"Are you really so full of yourself that you think JUST because you're a guy, EVERY gay guy will fall over himself just to fuck you? How come you're not worried every straight girl will throw herself at you then?"

"Haiya, it's different okay?"

"So every girl should live in fear of straight guys because they have the power to rape them at any given moment? Does that make a lot of sense to you?"

"Whatever la, who are you to judge me?"

"I hope you get asked the same question, over and over, by those whom you fear so much."

Everyone has their own beliefs; if we persecute them for what they are or what they believe in, we give up freedom. We give up our freedom to live life without a hiding beneath a facade; we choose give up love and peace.

Laughing at, teasing and isolating others IS bullying. It doesn't matter if you don't get physically violent, words can hurt just as much, if not more, albeit in a different way.

Rejecting what you don't understand means you will never learn and grow. Rejecting other humans because they are different, whether it is by choice or god-given, reduces us to nothing but animals without judgement, automatons without room for flexibility.

"I'm fine with them being gay, just as long as they don't get married and flaunt it in my face."

"I'm fine with you being fat, as long as you stay at home and stop being an eyesore."


"I'm fine with you being black, as long as you stay in the ghetto and bleach your skin."

"I'm fine with you being a single mother, as long as you get your ovaries tied and stop wasting our taxes by reproducing more."

"I'm fine with you being asian, as long as you stop eating dog meat and squinting when you talk to me."

People may look and behave differently, but ignorance always looks the same.
