Why Would Someone Choose to be Ridiculed?
From Cindy Quantoi, Port Elizabeth
Do some people really think LBGT people decide or choose to be how they are?
Who would want to be ridiculed all the time?
Everyone seems to have something to say about LBGT people, but do they have any idea of what we go through every day?
How many teenagers kill themselves because they are told that “it’s wrong to be gay, to be different”.
Would we really willingly put ourselves through a hell like that if we had a choice?
All we ask for is some respect.
Is it really so hard or difficult to respect another human being just because he or she is different?
It is easier, it seems, to accept murderers, those who sexually assault others, perpetrators of domestic violence and so on, but to be gay is “a sin” and “wrong”.
Do such people have any idea how we long to be seen as “normal”, to have a family, not to be looked at like people with a disease?
Who would want to have a life facing so much prejudice? Who would choose something like this willingly?
Before making judgments, try and understand what we must go through on a daily basis!
