Bigots can be gay too. Really.
I am a huge supporter of Gay and Lesbian rights. I feel that everyone, everywhere should be equal because we are all human and that is what we are entitled too.
I am a reader of perezhilton.com (I know, shame - but I like my goss fix!) sine 2007. He's an openly gay man and sometimes I find his comments towards other actors quite funny and embarrasing at the same time. He's not afraid of his sexuality and I think that's great.
When that Miss California chick stood up in front of the audience at the Miss USA pageant and said that she didn't belive in gay marriage because she was a practising Christian and that's what her relgion stands for, the shit hit the fan. Perez Hilton who was a judge on the panel, went nuts. He called her a stupid bitch or whore or something, people were just in uproar. There was pressure to strip her of her title - it was as though she committed a crime.
I do not agree with her point of view. But she was saying that she was brought up to believe this from her Christian roots. That doesn't make her a bad person. It's a touchy subject - I hate religion as much as the next person - but she was never demeaning towards homosexuals. Gay people were coming out of the woodworks to call her everything under the sun.
It isn't her that I was worried about, it was all these people - gay people mostly - who were so outraged and offended about what she said and personally attacked her. That is very, very wrong. Were they not just attacking someone for their religious beliefs in such an outlandish and cruel way? As an outsider, I don't understand. I can't understand what it's like to be gay and having someone say they don't accept you. But everyone should be entitled to their fair opinions, even if you may not agree.
Sad, sad the human race.
