Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Issues - We Must Accept Gays and Lesbians :: Argumentative Persuasive Topics

Dont Tolerate Gays and Lesbians Tolerance. Preference. I am so sick of those words. Why should hatful have to be tolerated? Tolerance should apply to annoying habits, like hearing the tapping of a pencil or cracking knuckles. throng shouldnt have to be tolerated because of who they argon. People shouldnt have to be put up with because of whom they wish to spend their time with. I believe a persons sexuality is not a preference. It is not a choice or a decision. It is simply the way a person is born. Period. Some are born straight, some are born gay, and some are born loving everyone. There is no choice in the matter. One can, however, decide whether or not to live out who he or she is. lifetime a lie for a lifetime is not good for anyone. I am proud of who I am. I am a teenager, and I am a lesbian. I havent told my family yet because I am afraid of what theyll say. Its a really sad world where a daughter has to be afraid of existence herself in front of her parents, but i t is the world I live in. Its a really sad world because I have to, essentially, move across an marine to the Netherlands just to get married if I ever find a woman I wish to spend the rest of my life with. There are actually laws prohibiting homosexual marriages in the United States. In the land of freedom and opportunity, I am denied the right to love and marry as I hold back fit. Its a really sad world where there are people in my generation telling me that I am wrong, that I can unendingly go back to being straight, that I am disgusting. Whether theyre influenced by parents, religion, or other peers, I find it extremely disappointing that individuals in our nation, especially young ones like me, can be so closed-minded and disfavor. My parents are the type of people who claim to be accepting of all, but really arent. They are prejudiced against everyone - black people, Middle Eastern people, Asian people, people who talk with an accent, homosexuals - in short, everyo ne who isnt like them. I have learned to tune them out and ignore the wild things that come out of their mouths.
