LGBTQ+ Community

Heya,

If any of my friends see this I feel a groan coming along, yes I'm going to talk about the LGBTQ+ community (again for some!) because I can and other people who maybe wish they could can't.

I often have conversations with peoples about gay pride and how it is ridiculous that it is acceptable for people to show off their sexuality. The first point I have about this is why would you not want to dress up go out and have fun for a day! Secondly maybe on a more serious note surely it is a good thing there isn't straight pride...it means that you haven't had to fight to be yourselves! But I mean to begin with who even decided what was going to be classed as the social norm? Did someone sit down and think "People must be a specific gender and they must have romantic relationships with the opposing gender" How did it even start?!

Someone close to me was having a conversation with me about a couple they met. This couple was a lesbian couple with a child now I see no issue here however the person close to me (lets call them Gerald!) was finding it hard to comprehend why one of the ladies in the couple felt the need to refer to the other as their wife. Now WHAT!? If two people are married they are husband and wife, wife and wife, husband and husband or maybe even gender fluid. So why is it an issue for a lady to refer to the person they are married to as their wife. Its a fact! That person is their wife!

Another subject that comes to mind as being closely linked is the US presidential election of Trump. It deeply saddens me that a man with such extreme views on many subjects has been given power. America particularly has come a long way with the rights of homosexual couples and I can see this development going backwards. I really hope that those in America make a stand. I just want you to think about something for a minute, think about two people, one who you feel romantically towards and the other maybe a family member or a friend. (person A and person B) Person A tells you they are bisexual for a heterosexual person this can be hard to hear but if you truly love them should this matter? As for person B would you care if they were straight? So should you care if they aren't?

I want to leave with the statement "I support rights for llamas this does not mean I am a llama (it would be kinda cool if I was!)

Love you all
