Debating, Part Two: Gay Rights

Hey, it's me again . Anyways, as you may know if you read my blog yesterday, I was talking about a few issues that surround us today. I didn't, however, get to talking about gay rights. This is another topic about which I feel very strongly. I one hundred percent support gay rights, because to me if anyone is in love, they should have a right to get married. I can't stand people who say 'Well, if you're gay then it's wrong.' It's not, and what gives you the right to dictate how other people should live their lives (yes, I got that from Chuck & Larry)? I happen to have a few gay and bi friends, and from their viewpoint, harrassment can be really hurtful and offensive.

I'm a Christian. You know that. Everyone says Christianity is an anti-gay religion. Well, to me it isn't; the Lord I know says people should love and be loved; isn't that what gay people want? To love and be loved? At my school, we're trying to form a gay-straight alliance (me being on the straight side, of course). Everyone says the school wouldn't support it. Now this is where it gets interesting. The school has a Christian club, so why wouldn't they let someone have a gay-straight alliance? If they don't let us have that, then they can't let them have a Christian club because they let them have a club to support their beliefs, which is what the gay-straight alliance wants to do, support their own beliefs.

So if you would please, share your thoughts. Tell me what you think about this and if you support it or don't support it; I like to know what you guys think! Please don't be rude though! ;)
