I just want to share with you guys one of the more pivotal moments that had happened to me, this past week. I had this oportunity to talk with this really close friend of mine, whom i haven’t really seen and talked to for the longest of time…so it was almost given that we would have a lot of catching up to do.
After the usual catching up of life, regarding life, work, family…we went into a topic, which i have kept to myself for the longest time…his sexual preference. I don’t really want anymore to go into details to who, what, where and how this person opened up this revelation to me…because as anybody coming out knows, it is as hard as it can get.
Yet i ask this question to you guys? Why would ‘normal’ society think that being gay, lesbian, bisexual or whatever sexual preference you have be a hindrance to growth, an abnormality, a sin? More conservative people would say that it is not normal, and it is keeping you from who you are meant to me.
But isn’t it, that coming out and being true to who and what you are is the most basic foundation of freedom and normality? How can you be normal if you don’t know yourself? How can you say that you are free if you don’t even know who you really are? For the sake of society’s "normality,’ people would have to stop people from being who they really are, and we say that we are living in a free world?
How can we live free if we ourselves don’t allow people to live free?
I don’t wanna be ultra_conservative. I don’t even want to think that it’s against faith. I am in terms with my faith with God, and I know I have a relationship with Him that NO ONE or NOTHING can take away.
Yes, God did make Adam and Eve, maybe not Adam and Steve. Yet does that mean if you have an alternative preference, you’re going to straight to hell? What would happen then to all the people who live an alternative preference, and are more human and loving than those who are straight? Does that mean that they go straight to hell because of their preference, notwithstanding all the good they have done? Aren’t they just being true to themselves?
Being gay, lesbian, bisexual or whatever isn’t a sin, in my opinion. Too much indulgence in sex, okay…that’s a sin. But don’t straight people do that too? Two timing other people…alright, that’s a sin. But don’t straight people do that too?
These people are not sinners. It is simply being true to who you really are. That is the essence of a REAL and TRUE freedom…something that most people in the world would just dream of having.
A real sense of freedom. A different kind of relationship. The purest form of love.
