I am fed up with homophobic slurs.
and
I am fed up with people thinking they have the power to deny people their rights based on who they love or have attraction to. Love has no race, gender, religion. How can we tell people who to love in a country based on equality? Come on guys, THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
Things to think about:
- gay and lesbian youth are two to three times more likely to commit suicide than other youths and 30% of all completed youth suicides are related to the issue of sexual identity.
- 45% of gay males and 20% of lesbians surveyed reported having experienced verbal harrassment and or physical violence during high school as a result of their sexual orientation.
- depression strikes homosexual youth four to five times more severely than other non-gay peers.
- 97 % of students in public high schools report regularly hearing homophobic remarks from their peers
Kids my age. This young, are experiencing the consequences. It kills me.

again. just an opinion.
Honestly, just think about it next time you think something is "sooo gay."
