"Open up and say AAaaaAhhHhh!!!~!~"

Something fishy happened last nite. A friend of mine confessed to another friend of mine that he likes him. The problem is, both are males! His confession included a clear indication that he was coming out to my friend out of a desire to be with him romantically. The first thing that I need to do is take a step back from my feelings of shock and confusion and try to see things rationally. This is easier than it sounds, but it is not impossible.

Being homosexual in this modern culture carries with it a great deal of social taboo and funny stuff. It is not an easy thing for anyone to have to face the type of ignorance that homosexuality is subject to in our culture, be it the person who feels they are gay, or those who care for him or her. I think that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't agree with anyone that doesnt accept gay people ( even though I personally don't quite agree ) but I cannot change their mind. Homosexuality is a ridiculously sensitive topic and obviously one of the most debated ones ever. If they dont like gay people, thats it, and if they are going to talk like that, then thats how they are. If they bring it up again, then leave the conversation. Debating this gets no where. I have a few gay friends, and no matter what anyone says about them I will never think differantly, and vise versa, you cant change my mind, you will not change theirs.

I don't hate people and I'd like to think I'm not judging but I guess I am. There is no place in my life for intolerance. If people want to be that way, that's fine. I don't have to like them or hang out with them, do I? If people want to turn their back on what they think is good and moral just to get along with everyone, that's fine. I personally do not like bigoted people. If I'm creating a hole in the time and space continuum because I'm intolerant of bigoted people, well that's just the chance I'll take.
