Ian McKellan or as we know him, Gandalf, in the Lord of the Rings is gay (the actor not the wizard) People who think they don't are blind. Such prejudice. The more people oppose their rights, the more I support them. Like today in religion class of all places...
We were taking our finals and we got to take this questionaire sort of thing about our views on heaven, hell, priests, purgatory, ordination of women, and gay marriage. We were able to write about a variety of things. I chose an animal consciousness question and the gay marriage question. In half a page, I explained my views of animal rights and everything I say at the dinner table when meat is served. Not too exciting. Then I gave my opinion of gay rights. I said how it was wrong to supress the homosexuals and that I believed many were born that way. I explained it was the Church's decision to accept it or not in their faith, but not the state and government's decision. I compared it to a small scale segregation, and then questioned why we are worrying about who marries who when thousands of children die every day with no food I felt good about myself after writing this, and after I was done, my friend asked me what I had written about. He already knew about my Buddhist beliefs and position on animal rights so he asked me what the second one was. I said I had written about gay and lesbian rights. Just for that I was called a '***' and asked if I loved men or something. "Far from it," I said, "but I still support their rights." "Gay ***" he said again.!
Luckily I have been practicing a meditation to control all hateful emotions, otherwise I would have exploded. The bell rang and I watched as another prejudicial teenager had shot down my beliefs.
I wonder how many gay people he as ever met in his life.
) thru genetics or something, you cant really say there is much difference.
