Sitting here at my pc trying to chill after a trying day at work, and what to my wondering eye should appear but a little news blurb at the top of my screen which says that the US House of Doofuses (Representatives) is trying to expand the federal hate crimes law to give gays more rights and protections.
EXCUSE ME????????
Ok, pardon my language, but this is a definite WTF moment.......Why should ANY certain group have more rights and protections than any other group? I don't care if you are gay, straight, what your religion or ethnicity is, or anything else... we are all members of the human race, and we ALL deserve the same treatment.....
So someone beats the crap out of you because you are gay......so????does it mean any less that someone beat the crap out of my son because he is Christian? and white? Why should both instances be treated differently from each other?
They shouldn't...and therein lies the problem.
For too many years now, the gay rights groups have flaunted themselves, as have numerous other groups/causes, and when they are attacked, they blame everyone around but themselves....I am straight, but I don't go around flaunting my sexuality and then demanding that I be given special protection because I am a heterosexual female. I do not demand special rights because I am female.
I guess what it boils down to is this-----those of us who are straight have just as many rights as gays. Christians just as much at Muslims or athiests, red and purple as well as white and black. I am tired of dancing on the line of "am I going to offend someone by breathing?" Quite honestly, if I offend, I am sorry. But that does not mean I am going to change my stance to suit you. I am sorry for causing offense, but not sorry for my belief. I am not going to hide my Bible because you don't want to see it. I am not going to tell my kids they can't wear their tshirts with religious slogans on them to school because the classmate next to them with the "I did your girlfriend" shirt doesn't like it.
Food for thought....
