A letter to a certain someone.

Dear Certain Someone,

It's sad that you and I are to have this encounter. It is shame that you and I must come to blows on a site that is suppose to promote being yourself and letting your imagination soar over something so pointless. I am not going to mince words and I will be direct by saying that you, ma'am, are a cold-hearted bigot. Before you make the excuse, allow me to state the contrary that, no, you are not entitled to your so-called opinion. You are not entitled to barge into the lives of people who privately consented to share themselves the way that they do no matter who they are.

You have made your place in life and so in turn you will allow other people to live the way in which they individually desire. It is not your place to arrogantly hold up their fates for approval and even more so to believe that this a matter of opinion. In this case, I am here to tell you that you are wrong and that it is not a matter of acquired taste but a matter of nature.

Let me start by asking one simple question. Did you know that there are people in this world who do not believe in the divine? Did you know that there people who do not believe that a god created the universe and wrote its rules? Did you also know that there are people out there that are whose brains and bodies are each wired in their own way? I was hoping that you had those in mind before you let your ignorance loose on, like I said, a site that I thought promoted creativity.

People like the ones that you are attacking have been getting together and raising families since the beginning of time, you will find. Before your kind started enforcing your moral codes, you will find that in places like Greece, China, and Japan, were the people you are currently victimizing hardly suffered for who they were. Heck, there was practically no difference in those people except that maybe they themselves were still tied down by their own traditions and such, but that's not the point. Wait, that actually is the point that I am trying to make to you. What if I told that there are cultures out there that consider your "lifestyle" just as alternative and as you deem their's?

I hope that it will get through to you when I bluntly say that homosexuality is not a lifestyle. There is no such thing as either a hetero or homosexual lifestyle. What you define as having sexual relations constantly with other people and partying all the time is not, in fact, exclusive to either sexuality. While we are on the subject, there is also nothing wrong with expressing opposite characteristics of the gender you were born with because gender is psychological. Whatever is in your pants or under your are just organs and do not determine who you are.

Let me tell you that I am person who is questioning his sexuality. I have found the opposite sex does turn me on as much as the same sex. It is much more complicated than that, but I am sure that you are mature enough to understand. I also hope that you mature enough to learn that you can make your own decisions in life instead abiding by a simple book. You can't disapprove of my nature because I cannot change it like the time of day.

Let me also tell you bluntly again that your beliefs and approval do not matter in the end. People of different ethnicities can get together, form families, and raise children, so can people who are single and same sex parents who are related. In anything, you are not allowed to have your belief that there is only one right way to raise a family as they have long, long, long, been proven void. It does not matter who raises family as long as they are knowledgeable and have the ability to put the time, money, effort, and most importantly love into their work, and this is a fact.

Unfortunately, I cannot force you to be more open to new possibilities because then I would be the bigot. Please learn to live the fact that some people are born differently from you and that it is wrong to butt into their private affairs. It is not you that are different from us, it is us that are different from you. What it all boils down to is to live and let live, ma'am, and I hope that your god has mercy on you.

Thank you and have a pleasant day.
