It's recently come to my attention that a lot of people seem to think that they can simply BECOME gay/bi/etc. And that being so is wrong. I'd just like to write down my words, and hope it helps people.

First off, I'd like to address the first thing I spoke of, turning gay/bi/etc.

You cannot TURN or BECOME gay, nor can you catch homosexuality!

I'd have an easier time catching BLACK (I'm whiter than sour cream), or randomly becoming a male! If you hang around with homosexuals, transsexuals, transvestites, and everything else, you wont suddenly develop a love for drag, or anything like that!

Now I admit, there are some cases, where by hanging out with a certain group, you come to realize it is ok to be who you truly are, and that you can be open, so you make that transition. But that wasn't some evil seed planted into your mind, it was already there, and you just realized it's not so evil after all!

I personally hang out with, lets see, 2 gay males, one lesbian, and a LOT of bisexual girls. I'm perfectly straight. So there's some proof for you!

Another issue I'd like to discuss:

THAT GAY GUY NEXT TO YOU IN THE LOCKER ROOM IS NOT GOING TO RAPE YOU!

I cant tell you how many times I've heard people complaining about that. I mean, yeah, if they happen to have a crush on you, they might sneak a peek at your abs or something, but so would a girl! The same goes for girls. Ever seen a guy checking you out?

It's the same thing. But don't think that just because a guy likes guys, that if he comes up to you, he's going to try and flirt with you. Guys dont always come up to girls to flirt, now do they?

And of course religion:

I'm technically an "Atheist", meaning I do not really have a belief, although I dont call myself that, due to negative connotations, but I was raised christian, and I've studied a few religions and cultures.

yes, I know, your god/godesses/gods/dieties may say that homosexuality is a sin, but, at least in the bible, it says man is created in gods image, and that god loves all his children.

"Jesus loves me yes I know, for the bible tells me so".

I would assume that it's similar in most of the other religions, but I'm not an expert. All I know is, if you believe that your god created mankind, then how come that god created gay men and women? O.o Think about it...

And I leave you with one last thing:

Always remember to be yourself, whether you are straight, gay, bi, transsexual, transvestite, transgender, aesexual, pansexual, black, white, latino, asian, european, male, female, WHATEVER! You are still a human being, so dont forget that.

And treat everyone the way you'd like to be treated, ok? Just because someone is different, doesn't make them a monster.

(Also, if you ever want to argue about any of what I've said, or just condemn people, do lots of research beforehand)
