Born This Way

     “My momma told me when I was young we were all born superstars…

                   There’s nothing wrong with loving who you are

            She said, ‘ because he made you perfect babe…’

                 I’m beautiful in my way

                    ‘Cause God makes no mistakes

                          I’m on the right track

                              baby I was born this way”

                                                                                      -Lady Gaga

 

Born that way. No, born their way. Everyday, somewhere, homosexual's , are  being called out of their name: mainly a FAG. But has anyone really thought of what these words do to those who are homosexual? Or how it makes the person saying the word look? Although there are people in our society who don't mean to use FAG in a hurtful way, there are still those who intentionally try and slaughter the lives of many homosexual's with out using a single weapon, except for their words.  This insipid, and banal language toward a gay person affects them in so many ways.

G'S:There are many people who treat homosexual's as if they are a “bad memory” that they must erase. Some people have their reasons for calling homosexual's FA

·                     Because two men should not be together

·                     They are the cause of STD’s

·                     God created a man and a women to be sexually active

These are reasonable explanations, but is FAG the word to describe homosexual's? The fact that Homosexual's are attracted to the same sex, doesn't change who they are nor does it change the qualities they have obtained in their lifetime.

                         Homosexual's are:

·                     Diverse with their personalities

·                     Confident in everything they do

·                     And are very intelligent and successful in our society                                                                      

Being called a FAG eliminates all of the above qualities they possess.

Those who call homosexual's people FAG'S, obviously don’t understand the impact those seven letter's have on homosexual's mental and emotional health. Mentally, a homosexual feels unexcepted by society, and can feel like they will be disowned by their family as well. Emotionally, being called a FAG can lead a homosexual to commit suicide. Those against homosexuality, and the whole gay society, know that FAG is not used to express  your infatuation with a person. So in their minds they don't believe they should be somewhere they're not wanted. Honestly, who could blame them. Would you want to be somewhere you're not welcomed?

Some religious people may argue that it is a sin to be gay, and so they are justified to calling a    homosexual a  FAG. But wait a minute, isn't having sex before marriage a SIN; isn't being JUDGMENTAL a SIN; isn't cursing a SIN; isn't committing adultry a SIN? So why does society have to call a homosexual a FAG, to express the sin associated with being gay. There aren't  many people going around classifying each other because of having premarital sex, cheating, judging, or cursing; but these are all sins, just like society says being gay is.

Everyone knows that the gay society will forever be incessant. So why not just treat them with the same respect you want to be treated with? Homosexual's are understanding of those who believe being gay is a sin, and that God did not create two men to have sex with each other. But they are not saying they disagree with you, it's just THEY WERE BORN THIS WAY. Instead of criticizing homosexual's with vituperative words, such as FAG, respect them for who they are and what they are. Instead of trying to decimate the gay culture by calling them FAG'S, and other derogatory words, Respect them for who they are and what they are. No matter how hard you try and forget this “memory”, everyday, everywhere, homosexual's do exist and will always be here among us all. And all they ask from you is to respect them for who they are and except them for what they are.
