The descrimination is getting old!

[Blake1122]

As Blake has previously said, one would think with all the unjustified intolerance and hatred blacks have had thrown against them, they would be more empathic and willing to accept others who are in the minority. Now I know this one moron doesn't speak for an entire race and community - its still very disappointing to see so many people following his example.

*sigh* well, I went about a week with faith that the human race is finally progressing forward in their thinking....a personal new record.

Awwww, I'm sorry I didn't mean to ruin your positive thinking. There are still plenty of good people out there mixed in with the douche bags we all love to hate. Without those people we would not be where we are today. So over time not to sound all preachy or religious we have weeded out the bad and things have got better. We still have more work to do but I'm very positive that us being gay will not be an issue even 15 years from now. Maybe even sooner then that. People have came a long way to educating themselves and eventually we will grow smarter and have more common sense.

That video had me laughing hard. See it sounds stupid when you put it in a different way and it is. :biggrin::

I am multiracial(Italian/African-American/Danish/German/British) and I know what its like to feel like you don't belong. On top of that realizing that I am gay. When I came to this realization it was scary. I remember thinking as a teen I not only have to put up with being diverse in a small Missouri town but I am also gay in a small Missouri town. I remember thinking this is way to much for one person. Then I became more spiritual than religious because spirituality seemed to relate to me and seemed more loving and accepting of all people. Also I do have experiences where I can pick up on peoples energy and know things that others don't. So that added to the list. It was scary! I went with in myself to see how to handle these things because we all know being a teenager we all were or still are out for self discovery.

Over the years I struggled with this and of course it didn't help I was always that shy insecure person who could not stick up for myself. What I did notice was the way people treated each other. I paid attention and noticed that I had so much empathy toward people who were being hurt. My heart grew bigger and I realized that I did not want others to hurt like I did when I was picked on. I took all my negative experiences and turned them into positive by remembering how much it hurt me to be shoved around like an outcast and I could not do that to anyone. So now I try to be there as much as I can for people and help others when I can. I try not to be judgmental and shallow. We all are not perfect but the least we can do is try to better ourselves and be more understanding of each others views.

I do not have a problem with people who don't agree with others life styles. I believe its all of our rights to choose what to believe. I do have a problem with being people hurting others and when that happens then we should all step in and be there to put a stop to the hate. I believe that God/Universe or whatever higher power made me a Multiracial, Gay, Spiritual person is for me to learn from others hate towards me and turn it into good.
