Debating, Part Two: Gay Rights

noreply@blogspirit.com (Monica) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:10:00 +0200

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! ;)

Blog Readers of America:

Hey, I'm Monica and this is my new blog. I'm new to the whole "blogging" thing so you'll have to bear with me if all I write is crap; hopefully it will eventually be better as time goes on. Sort of like America's Next Top Model; where the girls start out as really bad models but then get awesome. Look at Natasha Galkina; and even Eva Pigford. So there you go!

I couldn't think of anything to write, so I just decided to talk about some of the things that I discuss with my friends. I have friends who I like to debate with ALL the time. We argue about everything under the sun. War, religion, abortion, and gay rights are just a few of our most common topics. I'll talk about them and my viewpoints here.

Starting with the war: my viewpoint makes a lot of people mad because most of America's population is arguing against me. See, I believe the war in Iraq SHOULD be going on. Now most people reading this will be closing this window like 'This girl doesn't know what she's talking about'. And maybe I don't. But here's why I feel this way: remember September 11, 2001? I bet you do. Where were the U.S. Army Troops at that point? Here in the USA. Where are they now? In Iraq, defending us and doing one heck of a job. Have we had any serious bombings like that of the World Trade Center/ Pentagon? Nope. So there's where I see a connection; army troops in USA=larger scale bombings. Army Troops fighting in Iraq=USA is protected and terrorist free! Though I love to argue in a friendly way, I do NOT argue as in "Your opinion is stupid". Instead, say "No, and this is why...". So if you disagree with me, comment why and be sure to back it up. I'll reply to every single comment given!

Next issue: abortion. Here we go... I love talking about this and do you know why? Because I have such a strong opinion on this subject. Do I agree with abortion? Absolutely not. I believe that every baby deserves a chance at life, no matter if it was an accident or not. A lot of people don't know about open adoption; it's where you can find a family to raise your baby, but you will still be involved in their life, and still be able to get to know them even if you can't afford a baby. And if you kill your non-born infant simply ecause you are afraid of the pain of childbirth; uh, sory, that's a pretty crappy reason to do it. Getting rid of a life because you're afraid of pain? It's just wrong. And people will say the baby isn't even alive yet; yes it is! It has all its organs and limbs, a brain and a heart, just like any other person, just smaller.

And now we talk about religion. You know, I don't even know if I want to blog about this topic because I'm a Christian and of course I'll argue my religionis the right one, which might offend someone who reads this who isn't a Christian. So I'll just stop right here.

Well, I'll be discussing more in my next post. Please come back and read, comment, and pass on. Thanks for reading!
