Edge Day

[x JAMES x]

Both of my parents smoke weed and drink. They don't take it seriously at all. Like, my younger sister; yeah I said it YOUNGER gets messed up all the damn time and I swear their more proud of her for " experiencing " things than for me for claiming straightedge.

My Dad think's its like an afterschool club and makes jokes about it constantly. It just doesn't get taken seriously around my house.

Your spelling doesn't help your image as one of the "smartest kids".

The spelling is not what concerns me about this post, its the homophobic slur.

Then it boggles the mind even more why to would associate homosexuality with negativity.

You see the way I look at it is:
Other people are gonna say shit about it and all that so why not just get used to it?
You see I used to HATE gays, but that was only to cover up that I'm Bi.
you see it's kind of a...i don't know acctualy.

The way i look at it is that its really shitty to condone disparaging comments based on sexual orientation and to do so is not only lazy and thoughtless it also enforces a negative view of homosexuality. Just because people say wrong things that are based in hatred it really is no reason for you to do so and in fact it is even more of a reason for you to oppose it in the way you speak at least. Sitting back and getting used to it is essentially you saying you have no problem with people seeing homosexuality in a negative way, you should be able to see your sexual preference in a proud and positive light and not just accept baseless degradation of it.

You see I used to HATE gays, but that was only to cover up that I'm Bi.
you see it's kind of a...i don't know acctualy.

and further more, these slurs on homosexuality help to make pride in ones sexuality even harder to the point where people have to hide their true feelings away, thats not right or healthy. The slurs just help people see it as a bad thing that no one wants to be, some people struggle to tell themselves they aren't gay purely because of the way its commonly percieved. You yourself speak of harbouring hatred towards gays rather than being open about your sexuality...its just so wrong, people should feel they are able to be free and comfortable in their sexuality and for that to happen people have to stop being so damn ignorant and allowing homosexuality to be seen as a good and wonderful thing.
