Two Cents

ness. If you choose to discriminate against homosexuals, that is your decision.

Although society will often justify prejudice against homosexuals by saying it is immoral, I believe there is another issue at hand. Perhaps it is not only that we are taught that different is bad, but we are also taught to fear that which is different.

I think lack of education or just plain ignorance is a major part of why society will not whole-heartedly accept homosexuals.

A common myth that exists in society is that if you are friends with someone of the same sex who is gay, then they will hit on you. I have more than a few gay friends. Never once have any of them so much as laid a finger on me. And so what if they did?

If I am not secure enough with my own sexuality to deal with their actions, then perhaps I should take another look inward Perhaps I have issues of my own.

I am almost ashamed to consider myself a part of this society. In fact, I separate myself from it every chance I get I am disgusted with how human beings are treating one another.

Before I am a white, Catholic female, I am human. The way I see it, there exist many cultures on this earth, but there exists only one race--the human race.
