I came across a blog today (http://homophobicmom.tumblr.com) and I honestly can't believe that there are still people like this in existence. This is exactly the behaviour that leads to the demise of our youth. It seems that our society is constantly teaching people to look down upon anyone who doesn't march to the same drum. I'd like to think that I respect the opinions of my fellow humans, but lack of (life) education combined with off the cuff insensitivity is seriously debilitating our psychologically outdated society. The truth is, people construct stories or ideologies with intention to opress people or groups that pose difference. Unfortunately many of these fables are plagued by unfounded facts and agenda spawned propoganda. It makes me wonder, why people continue do this and how this utter stupidity is still acceptable in our supposed modern society.
I'm all for people having opposing opinions and truthfully I feel in order to expand my current knowledge, I must truly listen to people even if their vizard seems clothed in ignorance. On many occasions I have been proved wrong and some of these moments are the highlights of my life. But when it comes to putting people down, it's something I cannot tollerate.
I hope that my children (when I have them) will follow the same mentality and I hope to be equally as open minded when they choose their own personal legend. Truthfully, I just want to raise a healthy happy child, regardless of their sexual preference or natural path.
