my abnormal friends
posted on Tuesday, 27 January 2015 @ 23:24 | permalink
Hey guys, today, I would like to dedicate this post to my "abnormal" friends. I have a couple of "abnormal" friends that I love so much, I would do anything for them. I've written three different drafts for this post and I felt that this was the most delicate way I could have written it.
Let's go back to the topic
What's so abnormal about them? Nothing, it's just that they're gay.
Sounds really rude doesn't it? To say that they're abnormal cause of that. But the truth is, I didn't call them abnormal. Others did, they used the words "not normal", but it's the same.
Well today, I read a conversation that broke my heart. My closest friend (Stud) was told by his family that him being gay was not normal and wrong, that he was asked to stop contacting his lover and that his family would try to change him back to "normal".
Wolf on the other hand was questioned on how we as Stud's friends to support his decision of being gay was wrong.
We've known each other for so long and even though I've never went through the stress of "stepping out of the closet" seeing my closest friends go through it was truly amazing. No one and I truly mean no one deserves to go through this. I'm so proud of my friends for being able to have the courage to step out and I've never wanted them to be anything but happy for being who they are and who they choose to love.
Love is love right? So why is it that just because they're not attracted to the opposite sex than they're wrong or looked as being "not normal"? What is normal? Can anyone tell me how to be normal?
There are millions and millions of straight couples in the world that ends up getting divorced anyway. So why does being straight or gay matter so much? If someone truly loves you, isn't that enough?
Being gay or straight is not like button that you can switch on or off. But if you really love someone as a sibling or a best friend, you would want them to be happy being who they are wouldn't you?
Let's face it, the world is a cruel place , but as their family and friends, shouldn't we be the ones that supports them and loves them? Why is it that because of religious beliefs or what the society deems normal than we should treat them any different? They are still the same person we knew since day 1 right?
Everyone in the world is always talking bout how society is disgusting and stuff but we are the society. Why is it that we can't just get through all these petty problems like sexual preference, religious difference and race? (The last two isn't related to the topic but it kind of goes hand in hand to me)
Up to the point, I'm speechless. But all I can say now is that no matter what happens, I'll forever and always support and respect the decisions of my loved ones and I hope the rest of you out there reading this will too.
Thank you for reading this. It really means a lot to me and I truly appreciate it. Please let me know what you think bout this post, drop me a message on my ask.fm.
Talk to you guys soon, bye.
Filled with love,
Olivia
