@rendezvous I think it is nearly impossible for me not to bring in religion when having this discussion. And Ive seen what religious arguments can end up as. 0.0
But if we go back to medieval times when we start seeing more religions and religious topics. (Im just going off what i remember from my history textbook, dont quote me on this shiz), it was the cultural norm. A man marries a woman, that is all. And yes, if you were a homosexual, there wasnt much freedom for you to really even proclaim it, let alone truly be it.
But then yes, times changed. And people just stuck to that cultural norm of man and woman.
However as we get to the more modern times, as people “come out” , the cultural norm changes. And people dont typically react well to change (i know I dont).
Their basic ideology is that it is man and woman. But now that the idea is dissipating, they will clutch to what they can. Because instead of accepting the change, naturally for some reason hardheads think that change will lead to something bad.
In this case, religion comes into the picture. It does say in the bible that a man cannot sleep with another man. And thats where it becomes apart of the argument.
In one of the classes I took at school, we broke down the bible to one thing. Love thy neighbor.
Back to generalizing the human population, people will only pay attention to the facts that support their reasoning, make their mindset stronger. Love thy neighbor in this case, just gets thrown under the bus.
So i think that what i am trying to say (i came up with some bomb ass wording for this post while i was in the shower, but I forgot it all smh) is that straight people are generally crueler than homosexuals.
Not because straight people are evil. Just naturally/generally, people dont react well to change, even if the change doesnt affect them. I also think that homosexuals being persecuted for so long gives them a level of understanding I can never have as a straight person. Because they know what its like to be disliked/hated upon, abused/beaten, and just straight up disowned sometimes. And its typically the...damn whats the word...imma say victim even though its not the word im looking for. Its typically the victim that has the most understanding on things. And its because of this understanding that gives people the upperhand on love.
Tada....i did it lol. I dunno if this is what i wanted to say...if I executed it right. Etc etc. if it sucks pwease just lemme die 😂
