just some thoughts i had on the homophobia issue

jfkdla;this is seriously driving me up the wall. im not homophobic [completely for gay rights and gay marriage, 100%], but just because someone is, that doesnt mean you should judge them, does it? theyre people too, like everyones been saying here. my best friend last year was bi, and it wouldnt surprise me if ALOT of other people i knew werent exactly sure about their orientation, but also some of my best friends dont like the idea of gays. and i love them all.



but anyways, i do feel i have to get another point across. i am a somewhat avid christian [been kind of slacking lately, but what can i say? highschools hard] and my sunday school teacher is lesbian. a few weeks ago she showed us something in the bible.

example one: everything is taken out of context when youre talking about this, and i dont have my verses memorized or anything, but it says right by one of the verses saying that homosexuals are 'unclean' that eating pork and shelfish is 'unclean.'

example two: in the new testament, Jesus says that all the former laws should be forgotten, and that the only law to live by was the law of love.

get that?

the law of love.



okay, im done with my little rant, and whether or not it changes any minds i dont care, i just wanted to let people know about that little technicality in the bible.

the end.
