Dreams Of Noise

I hadn't heard a thing about it, which surprises me as I figured Fark would run a story on it. Shit like this shouldn't happen. Just because someone is different from you doesn't mean you kill them. Christ, that hits a bit close to home. Suffice to say, I was young, dumb, and blinded by religion. My mother came out of the closet. She and I didn't speak for several years (combination of factors, not the least of which I was being stupid). Once I got over my religious issue with homosexuality, I realized that I truly don't care about my mother's sexuality. She was still my mom. You are attracted to who you're attracted to. There's nothing wrong with that, barring forcing the object of your attraction. I just don't understand this shit. It's pure bigotry and it makes no goddamn sense. This sort of thing is what's going to destroy humanity. Our inability to accept others as who they are and not force them to conform to some ideal that we've made up in our heads will tear us apart to a point, I fear, of no recovery.
