Stereotypes can go BOTH ways

Over and over again, every time I state my opinion on this, I am called names, and talked down to, treated like crap, and all because I have a differing opinion.

Let me get this out and off of my chest: There are people who support the homosexuality lifestyle(And that is perfectly fine, they are entitled to their own beliefs). There are also people who do not support it(And again, it is perfectly fine as they are ALSO entitled to their own beliefs). The thing is, I have been called closed minded, brainwashed, even cussed at for disagreeing with homosexuality. Time and time again I have shown no anger, aggression, or any negative feelings towards homosexuals, yet I am called hateful, cussed at and treated like garbage.

The thing I want to say is to those who treat people like garbage because they have a different belief: You claim that you're 'open minded'. Yet you refuse to even accept the fact that there are those who have a different opinion than your own. You say you're against bullying, against stereotypes, against name-calling, yet there are those of you who stoop down to such levels, assuming that people who do not support homosexuality are haters, scared of homosexuals, closed minded, brainwashed and trash. You call us names, you for YOUR belief down OUR throats! You don't stop until WE decide we've had enough and we stop arguing with you. You claim that you're open minded. Your actions do not support your words. Your actions speak MUCH MUCH louder than your words ever will.

If your goal is to change someone's mind on homosexuality, treating them like garbage, bullying them, calling them names, and being all around rude when nothing has been done or said to offend anyone, will do NOTHING but push them FARTHER away from what you're trying to get them to embrace.

If you really want to make a change, then do it in a respectful manner. Speak KINDLY, RESPECTFULLY, and be OPEN to the idea that there are people with different opinions and there are reasons that they have those opinions.

There are those of us who do not support homosexual lifestyles, but we are open to hearing what people have to say about it, to learn, to communicate to each other why we believe why we believe, and to hear why the person believes the way they believe.

Hateful actions and words will not bring anyone closer to what you believe. Hateful actions and words will not get you the result you're after. Think about your actions before hand. Before you start to judge other people for where they stand, look at yourself and understand why you stand where you stand and be open to the idea that others have reasons that they stand where they stand as well.

We are all human, we all have different experiences that shape us into the people we are. We are not all cut from the same cloth, we are not all products of the same cookie cutter. We each have our own experiences, our own beliefs, our own reasons for standing on our beliefs and standing up for what we believe in.

(Once more: Any hateful/disrespectful/rude comments WILL be hidden. If you do not have something nice to say, do not say anything.[This does not mean that people can not disagree with this, this simply means that I expect you to be mature, explain the way you feel in a respectful manner, and are open to the idea that others see things in a different light. If you can't do that, then don't comment at all.])
