Class Blog Topic Option

I believe that gay marriage would be a good topic for us as a class to talk about. Right now in our country and many states there are a lot homosexuals trying to have the same rights as heterosexuals , in the aspect of being able to get married. I do believe we have a diverse selection of students from many different towns in the class and I think all the different opinions would be good to hear. I do think within the recent years more homosexuals have been coming out and many of us have encountered them. Maybe with a topic like this we can educate one another. Many individuals think that homosexuals were not born gay, or that they chose that life style. Some even consider them not human. It is a sad thing to think that many years ago we as a nation were in the same boat with people that have different skin color. Now here today no matter what the skin color it seems to be a life choice that everyone seems to have an issue about. When the first case of a homosexuality first came about , anyone that claimed to be gay would be beaten to death or pretty close to that. With more awareness now , those children who don't know who to go to and tell someone now have a outlet to express themselves. This isn't always the case but if we can be at least more supportive towards someone else s lifestyle choice , they can learn to respect ours. If someone was to verbally attack me on my tattoos or the way my hair was cut, I'd defend myself. As the saying goes "people fear what they don't understand", if some how our class could become more educated on the subject and have some more respect towards homosexuals and how they want equal rights , it will be a great leap and bound some never accomplish.
