Alright I REALLY should be studying, but I need an excuse to do something else and so I shall rant.
Today I am going to rant about something that bothers me: the social stigmas about homosexuality.
1. You always hear kids, especially boys, saying, "O you're so gay!" as an insult. And people get especially offended when you call them gay. What is wrong with being gay? Just because you're not gay doesn't mean you have to get that offended. It's like your friend calling you an ass. Are you really a donkey or a buttcheek? No, not the last time I checked. If you're not gay, then that's good for you. If you are gay, then you really shouldn't get offended because they're just telling the truth, and yay great for you, especially if you're comfortable with it.
2. The reaction to homosexuals. Alright so let's say I'm lesbian. For all of those reading this blog, you should know that I am WAY too obsessed with boys to ever be a lesbian, but let's just say I'm a lesbian. No one knows and they treat me just the same as everyone else. But then I "come out" and then suddenly, all these girls, at least in their minds, act warily around me because they're thinking, "She might be attracted to me. Eek I cant' have that happen. She's a freak." I don't get why people of the same sex automatically have this mentality that the homosexual person is like stalking them or viewing them as a potential "victim". I swear I've heard some guys talk about gay guys like "OMG that guy wants to rape me." They're just like everyone else. They're just attracted to the same gender rather than opposite. I don't go out and rape guys I like and I don't think any of the guys who I know are reading this to either. So gay people don't go out and rape the people they're attracted to either.
3. If a guy is feminine, he's gay. Alright NO. Maybe there's a higher probability, but I hate that assumption.
4. All gay guys are fashion experts. You realize that just like in every relationship, there's like a "male" (stereotypically) figure and a "female" (again stereotypically and I completely resent this stereotype) figure. I mean come on, Brokeback Mountain. No one would ever suspect Heath Ledger of being homosexual, ever, just because he's like manly man cowboy. It might be easier to tell if a guy is girly that he's gay, but there are like buff, masculine, manly, testosterone filled gay guys too. And they can just be like any other guy (though probably hotter) and NOT know a damn thing about fashion.
Alright that was just bugging me.
So in conclusion:
1. Heterosexuals, be nice to homosexuals. They're just like us, if not cooler.
2. Homosexuals, be proud of who you are! Don't give a damn what a couple bigoted, stupid, homophobic idiots in the world say!
And now I shall go study for trig.

*Claps* I was thinking about ranting about gay people myself, but I'm sure all the Tennesseeans would be uncomfortable reading it. I'm so sick of it. It's worse back here. Sarah says that any guy who wears shorts and flipflops is gay. That's like, the entire population of beach goers around the world. And I tried to explain to her that sand is hot and flipflops are necessary, but she just said "If they're guys they should be able to handle it." BAH HUMBUG.
