A Letter To The Homophobic.

I'm sick of this constant religious bigotry towards homosexuals.People really need to stop quoting from a simple text that has no place in our current century. It's been used as a crutch for those ignorant enough to use it to attack people's freedoms for far too long.No more intolerance.Homosexuality and common marriage have been around for far longer than the book that so many people lean on to support their prejudice and arguments.Far longer than ANY of the books used,for that matter.Marriage in any event was the joining of people for different purposes,including wealth,land ownership and love.Did y'get that? LOVE.

Yes,I know that there are some people who just don't like 'the gays'.It's a sad fact of life that you can't have everyone like you all of the time but unfortunately most of it's built on prejudice,misunderstanding and old,outdated values.

I'm really tired of this subject,mostly because I cannot understand why it's still such an issue for so many people. The 2013 Christian male trims his beard. Christian farmers will sow different kinds of seeds in the same plot,right? Christian females still wear two different types of cloth on the same day and make no hesitation when offered a juicy shellfish platter or a cheeky prawn cocktail.According to your book,all of these things are unlawful.Please do look it up if you must but can you see the common denominator?

Difference.Some people are so scared of it.

And no,I won't take your 'Old Testament' excuse.No more picking and choosing.It's your life guidance book so why don't you live by it? Because it's practises are fucking stupid,that's why. You know that.You accept that shellfish is tasty and so you eat it,you accept that different kinds of cloth make a warmer garment,so you put them together. You accept and understand that the rape and murder of men,women and children is wrong and so you DONT DO IT,even though the bible so clearly lays these situations out that 'God' himself fulfils. 
We're living in a world of science and development and honestly,I think it's about time people stopped clinging to a contradictory scripture.

Those that preach commands regarding homosexuality from the book often bring nothing more than misery and suffering,with a disgusting level of ignorance. Not only does it proclaim,in Leviticus,more than once that homosexuality is an 'abomination' but some stretch to believe that it is some kind of disease to be cured by the 'love of God'.Furthermore if we're arguing over these points being given as 'Jew Laws' from 'God' then why are people still fretting and looking down upon gay people in this day and age?
It makes no logical sense.

Do you understand how this makes people feel? To be ostracized and treated as if this is all some kind of horrid 'phase' that will pass but never does? To be cast out and shunned by an entire community of people who make you feel isolated and as though you're polluting the very air they breathe,simply by living? It's not a wonder suicide rates are so high in gay and lesbian teenagers.
But after all,it's so much easier to carry on with the discrimination of gay marriage and relationships than to stop mixing fabrics,right?

Humanity horrifies me.
