Debating

Sorry I haven't been on in a while, but I have been really busy, what with school and things. I have something to discuss further with you that I talked about a little bit in one of my earlier posts: the gay-striaght alliance.

One of my friends at school got approval from our principal to start a gay-straight alliance at school. She wrote a letter to the school board explaining why we should have the club. We already have a teacher willing to be our sponsor, or to stay after school and help with it. We'll be learning about discrimination against gays and other things that have happened to them in the future. It would be a place for LGBTs (lesbian gay bi transexual) to come and seek support. We are trying to emphasize that it would not be a group about preaching our beliefs on others.

Now, I'm straight but I support gay rights. I didn't used to in the future, but I do now. Some kids in our school are saying that we won't be allowed to have the club, but they're wrong. This has happened to tons of other schools, when the school board didn't approve the club. The kids took them to court, and won...every single case.

Leaving you with these thoughts, I ask you to please comment me, tell me what you think, and wheter or not you support the idea. I'm trying to find support where and when I can, so the more people I get the more it might convince the school board that our club should be allowed. Thanks a BUNCH!

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! ;)
