Thoughts On Discrimination

I posted this last night on Facebook, but I didn't want to lose it in the jokes and other things I frequently share.

 

I was sound asleep with CNN playing in the background. I woke up to a discussion about Conversion Therapy and the link that follows. I am appalled that in this century things like this still are happening. What is wrong with the human race? Are we still so homophobic that we can't accept people for who they are? Maybe we should brand sexual sadists, pimps, and prostitutes on the forehead. After all, they are accepted in society, because you can't tell what their sexual ...

needs are. Brand the girl that is a prostitute just so she can pay for her college education, the madam, or the Judge or Senator, etc...

When I worked as an HIV/AIDS Counselor and Educator, I met some of the best and loyal friends one could ever have. Yes, they were gay. Who cared? All I cared about was that the world was educated about HIV. They loved their partners just as much as I love my husband; maybe even more. One day, we all will be judged for how we lived here on earth. Do you really think a higher power will say, "Oh, you were homophobic, come on in? Or you were gay, you are doomed?" I think not!

One more thought...I think Jews would be the most tolerant just because of what they went through with the Holocaust.
