gay rights



Category: Politics

Level: State

A man speaks against college gay history celebration.

This affects our families and society in a major way by showing people that they should be able to have pride in themselves and support the gay community. This close mindedness helps people see the struggle that people face and brings up issues that need to be addressed.

I am surprised that people are still homophobic with all of our differences in today’s society. This man took to time to discriminate against individuals instead of focusing on more important matters. This man is a ‘former’ state legislator and retired high school teacher, why should what he say even matter? I think that it is important to recognize differences and embrace the diverse world we live in. I am sure we spend tax dollars in much less useful ways so he should spend time on those issues. I also think it is funny that he did not really what they were celebrating but he was preaching on the issue. The issue of him saying god making a mistake is quite disturbing and close minded. To put so much energy into hating a group of people shines light on who this person is. I feel like we should be past discriminating people and moving towards issues that affect our society. More focus on improving our world and less on negativity would make significant improvements. For how much this man is going to be hated and chastised he had no struggle making such horrible comments. Hopefully as people become more in tune with their differences and stand up for their uniqueness others will learn how to accept them.
