I think that I have known this since I could tell the difference between girls and boys. I was afraid to come out of the closet because of all the ridicule that comes with boys being with boys and girls with girls. Do to recent events I decided it was time. With the Supreme Court getting ready to take the issue up again and Texas legislators trying to push "religious freedom laws", we all need to take a stand.
I am a lesbian. There I said it, I AM A LESBIAN. I just happen to be trapped in a mans body. However, it is true, I like women. I always have and always will. Shue, they were right. It is better to get that off of my chest. I feel so much better. Now for the government.
Texas, in all of its glory, is trying to push "religious freedom laws" to allow businesses to decided who and who not to serve. So, if a restaurant decides they don't want to serve gays, lesbians, etc... they don't have to, on the grounds of religious freedom. Sound like bullshit? I think not. I think the government has no right to tell you how to run your restaurant, bookstore, motel, as long as you are not physically hurting somebody. If you have a bar and don't want to serve a couple of gay dudes, no problem. Don't want to rent a room to a black guy, don't. Motorcycle repair shop and don't want a bunch of white bikers hanging around, it's your loss. Let the market decided. It's that simple. If you have a house for rent and it stays empty because you don't like Mexicans, your wallet. Place stays empty long enough you'll change your attitude.
Fact of the matter is, we all judge, every last one of us. You may hate black people. You may hate white people. You may hate fat people or skinny people. Doesn't have to be skin color. Some may have so much disdain for that 300 pound woman at the Wally World checkout buying stakes with food stamps on the first of the month they wait until the fifth to go shopping. It could be those little derogatory whispers to your friend about that "pretty little blond princess, spending daddy's money", never worked a day in her life. Or just watching TV saying, "Yea, I could look like her if I had all that work done.
Me, I don't generally dislike any one group of people. However, I hate stupid people. Stupid people shouldn't breed. Period.
If Texas or any other state wants to pass laws that allow people to discriminate, let them. Just don't patronize the business. Get enough people doing it and the problem will take care of its self. We don't not need the government to tell what to do and when to do it. YOU CAN NOT LEGISLATE MORALITY.
