I Support Gay Rights
I want to be as respectful as I can, but I simply cannot anymore.
Dear people, who think straight pride month is a good idea. I’m not bashing your opinion, I’m now just going to explain my point of view.
Please read:
It is illegal to be gay in 73 countries.
It is illegal to be gay in 73 countries.
That is 37% of the world.
It is illegal to be ME, in 37% of the world.
And out of those 73 countries, in 11 of those countries, my life would be taken away from me, I would be killed, for simply being me.
In 5% of the world, I would be killed for being me. It might not seem like a lot, but it is.
This wouldn’t happen in any country for heterosexuals.
We have pride month to celebrate that just recently we got the rights that we deserve as basic human beings.
For the past centuries, we have been disowned, discriminated against, oppressed, beaten, and killed for being who we are. And in 2016 we finally got the right to marry.
We are proud for coming this far.
We deserve to be proud.
Now, I am not ever saying that white people or heterosexuals don’t struggle, because everyone struggles in their life. But I am simply pointing out that they have never struggled for being white or straight. And the point of pride month, or black history month it celebrate us, the minority.
You guys have never been the minority, and most likely never will be.
Stop trying to turn everything into something for you guys.
