Gay Rights accross the board.....

So the debate about LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered) has come up yet once again.

In my opinion no one is ready for this type of change. The LGBT community has been and will always be looked down upon, because it's "different". "Straight" people don't think that we should have the same rights or even be treated equally to them. I say we because this is a topic that hits home for me. Being a lesbian woman in a committed relationship it's hard having to go places and be stared at like some sort of science project. When the fact remains that if people didn't see me and my girlfriend together they would automatically assume that I was "straight" just like them.

I think that the debate for equal rights for the LGBT community has become some what similar to the fight for equal rights in the African-American community. Its a struggle and a lot of people don't seem to see it as such. But we are people just like everyone else. We feel, love, get angry, want to get married, have children, serve in the military openly, and we want to do this without it being a problem. We just want to be able to live in the country that is supposed to be "THE LAND OF THE FREE".

LOVE, LIFE, AND DEATH

As humans go through this thing called life each one of us will utimately experience all of the following.... Life, Love, and Death. We will be born into this world alone hopefully get the chance to love someone during our time here and then we will leave here just like we came in ALONE!

So why does everyone take life and love and just look at them like its nothing? Life is taken away just as fast as its given and well love most ppl only experience this once in a lifetime.

Being around death really puts things into persepective. There really is no in-between so to speak. There's just life and then death nothing more nothing less. Hopefully we all get the chance to live our lives the way we wanted or the way they were intended and maybe even get the chance to love someone while we're alive but then we die.... Death can happen at anytime but yet ppl still treat life as if we are all gonna live forever. Ppl take the word "love" and just throw it around like trash. If you really love someone then there should be no reason for you treat that person the way that they get treated.

Loving and living life should be something that we all should cherish everyday. Being in love is something that doesnt come natural to everyone. It doesnt even get the chance to fill everyone's hearts. But it seems like the ones that do get the chance to love dont want the opportunity.
