Standing together

In: stuff

13 Jan 2006

Just adding my huzzahs to Jon’s eloquent defense of gay rights:

By God, they deserve to be equal citizens. If you are among those who think that homosexuality is somehow morally wrong, you might want to look a little closer at your community. They don’t want to convert you. They just want the same joy you get to have without the bigotry, the hatred and without the version of Jesus who says gay people shouldn’t be happy, just like you.

In the comments, John pointed out that…

…change will only come about with the aid of others. And when I say others, I mean those that are not a member of the LGBT community [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender].

So I’d just like to stand up and say I’m with you, John, [and Jon, who is straight]. I can’t do much, but I can do this.

About this blog

I'm not really famous. In case you were wondering. But I tried. I once believed that fame makes you real - a perversion of "The Velveteen Rabbit" theme that love makes you real. Guess I equated fame with love. Sad. You can read more about that here.
