Sexuality & The World

What is this issue with deep religious people hating on homosexuals?
Why are we always the blunt of a groups anger?
We support the government just like everyone else
We pay taxes like everyone else
We vote just like everyone else
Yet when it comes to having rights like everyone else we are always left holding the short end of the stick
Sitting in my church every Sunday I am reminded about my importance in this world
I am reminded that I am just as important than others
The gospel music industry has several closeted artists and it's sad that they can't live as themselves and still sell records
We are treated like another breed of human but we can't get the same respect as everyone else
If we aren't allowed to live as freely as the rest of the world, then we shouldn't be held to the same standards as others
Marriage is a union between two people that love one another and want to share their love before God, family, and friends
Yet homosexual couples are not allowed to share that special moment in life
It is left up for debate, the government has to rule in our favor so that we can benefit from something as deep as marriage
They say that if homosexuals were allowed to marry it would destroy the sanctity of marriage for heterosexual couples
Looking at the news you see how marriage is something that isn't respected anymore
People marry and divorce left and right as if it's just something to do...a hobby
What would be the difference for us to marry?
How could our love affect the love for others
Watching a documentary on cable in December I saw this woman make a statement that she wasn't against same sex marriage, she was just against the sexual act
What does the act in our bedroom have to do with walking down the aisle and saying "I do"
People want you to wear your sexuality on your sleeve so that they can put you in a box
Then when you want to hide your sexuality, you are considered wrong and deceitful
When will the world start embracing people for being people?
Why are we subjected to such judgement and ridicule?
One day I believe that the people will stand up for what they believe in and things will change for the better and not for what is expected
When we start focusing on our own backyard, we will have less time to measure the length of grass in others
