It's your preference, and that preference has nothing to do with me. It would be different if someone said they liked guns or they liked the KKK-those are things that can harm people. But being a homosexual? There should be no offense taken for liking same sex. In regards to the Prime Minister, I think he is a coward. Your family should be your tightest bond, they are the people you can count on most. To openly support homosexuality but then denounce and disown his own daughter-I disrespect him so much for doing that. That is manipulation of the public and it is turning your back on your family.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394262743512952049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15483635.post-45853544353220075312007-12-05T21:16:00.000-05:002007-12-05T21:16:00.000-05:00The actions that have been described in this post ...The actions that have been described in this post frusturate and confuse me. Growing up in Park Slope (a very liberal part of NYC) there was little to no discrimination towards homosexuals;however, after moving to a very conservative suburb of New Jersey, I found it unsettling how obvious the stigma towards homosexuals was. It is saddening to me that so many parents will stop talking or completely own their children because of their sexual orientation. It frusturates me that the Prime Minister pubicly urges people to not discriminate against homosexuals, I do not see how he could ask the public to respect his wishes when he obviously is not being tolerant of his own daughter. Maybe because of the fact that I was brought up in such a tolerant household, but I cannot understand why people have such a problem with homosexuality, when to me it is just another form of sexuality. I think that the Prime Minister is being an extreme hypocrite which is a terrible trait in a leader and in a human being.gchabrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702509317623994140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15483635.post-22546376174761468802007-11-15T12:16:00.000-05:002007-11-15T12:16:00.000-05:00I see the struggle of homosexuals for equal rights...I see the struggle of homosexuals for equal rights analogous to the struggle of that of black people. Why is society taking so long to determine whether homosexuals are human enough to be worthy of equal rights? This is comparable to difficulty the colonialists had deciding if black people were actually humans are just mere animals. There should be no question that homosexual people should be given equal rights. As a black individual it angers me to the point of frustration that once again society is treating a group of people, who differ from the socially acceptable norms, like diseased outcasts. How could we have claimed to have advanced so much as a species and yet not let go of these ignorant prejudices? As for my view on homosexuals, they are people just like any other person just with different sexual preferences.jolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370931782878932318noreply@blogger.com
