On Being Gay.


'There are two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.'
-Albert Einstein


Ricky Martin comes out on The Oprah Show.
Glee stands up to homophobia
It Gets Better...
A storm rages across London,
Flooding it in Rain.

The Change is coming.


We are not that far in our development as a human race.
We can accept animals with homosexual tendencies,
But we cannot accept our own species for theirs.
We want people to fall in love,
But conditionally.

'We want you to fall in love with a woman,
That Is All We Ask Of You.'


I'm thankful for the bravery of the men and women
Who have come out to the world,
Admitting that they are in love.
They are in Love.
They are in Love with someone of the same Gender,
They Are In Love.
They stood up to a world where they feared hate mail,
death threats,
people spitting their name,
Because They Fell In Love.

I'm thankful to live in a world where acceptance is on the rise.
I'm thankful to live in a time where I can hold my lover's hand.
I'm thankful to express love outside of the confines of my home.

But this is not the case everywhere.
People die for love every day.


What holds us back from development as a species
Is a lack of Acceptance.

You don't want to participate?
Don't. Participate.
Spend the energy you have doing what you love
Not what you hate that other people do.

Pursue Love.
You will be happy.
Fight Hate.
You will never win.


'I just don't want you to change'
I won't.
I am who I am.
The more I express who I am
The more I grow as a man.
The more I express who I am
The more others are free to express who they are.
The more I express who I am
The more I advance as a species.

If a plant never changes,
It will never grow.


What is homosexuality?
Where does it come from?
How does one 'become' a homosexual?
Who gives a shit?
Do we need to find answers to these questions?
We'll find an answer as much as we'll find an answer to
What is an atom?
You can define it,
But does that solve anything?
And when you find an answer,
There are always more questions to ask,
-as with anything in life.
What makes that children's game of 'But, Why?'
So irritating,
Is that it's circular.
Everything in life is circular.
Everything, when broken down to the smallest and largest shape,
Is circular.
There is no end.
There is no answer.

Some people are gay!
Some people are straight!
Some people are bisexual!
And! Some people are homoflexible! (Thanks, Ruby...)
Why?
Because. They. Fell. In. Love.
Accept this!
Because when you do,
You accept Love into your life.
And, The more you accept,
The more you attract.

Accept Love.
or
Fight Hate.

That's where the Choice needs to lie,
Because you can't Choose who you fall in love with.

Hence the saying, 'Fall in Love'
Nobody Chooses to Fall.


you know, The Fall isn't so bad...

But, God damn...
I'm ready to live in a city where man takes priority over machine.
Pedestrians should always have the right of way.
