No reason to care

I’ve talked about transgender before and that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the LGBT community. There are so many different sexualities out there that people are unaware of, or they just don’t care. The L stands for lesbian which is sexual attraction from female to female. G is for gay, man to man. B is bisexual which sexual attraction to both genders and it can be with a preference towards one or the other. Then the T stands for transgender that I already talked about. Now the community isn’t even just for those sexualities because there is a lot more than that. Mostly though the media is focused more just on the LGBT part of it all, especially when it comes to marriage. It’s been in the news a lot recently about ‘gay marriage’ and whether or not it should be legal. Now I personally believe that anyone should be able to be with whom they want to be and it is ridiculous to deny that of anyone for no reason whatsoever. Love is love no matter what, who it is really doesn’t matter all too much. Quite a few states have legalized ‘gay marriage’, well they legalized same sex marriage, so they really shouldn’t just say gay, but it is good enough I suppose. Not only does this allow people to get to be in a marriage that they want but it also allows for some benefits too. When you are married you can be on your spouse’s insurance, take their name, and all sorts of other legal benefits. Why rob someone of these benefits just because their sexual life isn’t to your liking? It really makes no sense, if you want to get married you should be able to, no ifs ands or buts about it. I really don’t see the point in robbing people of happiness with insults and such but I suppose there really are a lot of assholes in the world. How would you feel if you had went to introduce your girlfriend to your family and the instant they saw you guys together they hated her, told you that this choice was the worst one you could have made. Now, loving who you love isn’t a choice right? So why should it matter who marries who? It would be so awful to hear that everyone hates what you have decided to do, even though it isn’t a choice, it just happened, and all you can do is be crushed by it or stand your ground. Love is love no matter what no matter was color, shape, size, or kind, it’s always the same so it really shouldn’t be questioned. No need to question if it should be legal for same sex marriage, it just should be, no question about it, yet it’s not the case yet, not for everyone at least. Hopefully within the next few years same sex marriage will be legal in all the states for everyone. Maybe in the next decade or so anyone in the LGBT community will be accepted for who they are not for who they love. We are all just a personality in a skin so what does it matter what skin it is? Who cares? Apparently a lot, I do not really understand why. For some reason though, that might always be the case.
