Straight, gay, good, bad: we’re all just people out here

Straight, gay, good, bad: we’re all just people out here May 5, 2012

So, you know what’s weird for me, is this whole deal with me being “pro” LGBTQ people.

I’m not pro LGBTQ people. I’m pro people.

I’m barely even that, actually.

I mean … some people are awesome. Some people are consistent disappointments. Some people are smart. Some people are … talented in other ways.

Whatever. We all know how varied we all are. We all know how within any given day we’re everything from geniuses to idiots, from the best we can be, to animals we’d rather not be.

We’re all just people out here.

LGBTQ people are just people. They’re not a class of people who for some reason are stuck being deviant. They’re not any sort of abomination before God. They’re not defective in any way. A gay man gets sexually turned on by other men more than he does women. A lesbian is designed to lust after women more than men.

What the [bleep] does that have to do with who they are morally?

What idiot would claim that the fact that someone is straight is an indicator of how moral they are?

What idiot would claim that the fact that someone is gay is an indicator of how moral they are?

Can we please please please please please please please just grow up already?
