Equality.

I fight for equality because I find it ridiculous how some people are treated differently to others because of who they are. I find it so hard to understand why good people are discriminated against because of something as simple as their skin colour or sexuality. Why is it that some people think they deserve more because of the pigment of their skin or the gender of their partners? It baffles me so much because why does it matter? Why aren't people respected in the way they deserve? I'm not saying this applies to everyone because it defiantly does not, but it's such a shame that certain people see things so black and white because they truly missing out on getting to know some fantastic people. I wish people saw others the way that I do because they are isolating themselves from a whole world of wonderful things. I just hope one day that everyone is seen as equal. 

There are so many stereotypes surrounding gender and sexuality that people are put into categories and labeled. There's a preconceived idea of what it means to be male, female, gay or straight and people feel like they have to figure out who they are to make other people happy. It's like certain people should hold a set type of characteristics for society to accept them. 

I'd also like someone to explain to me how the word "gay" in an insult. It isn't an insult. It's something that shouldn't be thrown around to hurt others feelings; it's something  to be proud of. Just like people shouldn't be teased or bullied for the way they decide to live their lives. Who are you to decide something is "normal"? 

Why is religion used as an excuse? If you were to ask 10 people why being gay isn't "natural" I bet at least 5 of them would say "because that's not how God made us". If this is what someone truly believes then it is their decision to follow their religion but a lot of people who use that statement as an argument don't even believe in God. I'm religious but I still believe in equal rights for everyone.

It seems to have taken me quite a while to post this and I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it was because of the response I may get but to be honest I'm sick of seeing people about hurt by the way others think. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and there is NO DIFFERENCE. I shouldn't have to write this or fight for equal rights. It should be an automatic right to be treated as an equal. I'm proud of who I am and the amazing friends I've found, and I really do hope that people start to form an understanding of the world around them because they are missing out on so much.

"When everyone else is more comfortable remaining 

voiceless 

Rather than fighting for humans the have had their

rights stolen 

I might not be the same but that's not important 

No freedom 'til we're equal, damn right I support it"
