Blame it on the Gay.

LGBT people have been fighting for equality since forever, but all I can see are gay men and women acting like their life is totally different from others.
Equality means no discrimination, but it also means no special privileges for anyone.
So what are we asking for exactly?

You might get bullied because you're gay, you might feel like an outcast sometimes, it changes you. It does. It is hard to deal with.
But isn't everyone different? Doesn't each and every one of us have problems and issues he has to deal with?

So why are we blaming every single thing that is wrong in our life on the gay?

You can't make new friends because you are annoying and self-centered not because you are gay.
You failed that exam because you didn't even try to study not because you are gay.
You didn't get that job because you weren't good enough not because you are gay.

Not every person you are going to meet is gonna turn out to be homophobic and look down to you cause you're just this gay guy.
They are going to see you, first of all, as a person.

As extravagant as you can get, you are, first of all, a person, you are a man.
As butch as you can get, you are, first of all, a person, you are a woman.
The gay doesn't and shouldn't ever come first.

So next time you ask for equality, try to look the word up in a dictionary.

  1. Sorry to burst your bubble but according to a poll done in Lebanon it shows that 79% of Lebanese people believe homosexuality should be rejected.
    Failing an exam is irrelevant to being bullied. I'm just saying that society in general rejects us & it DOES effect our daily lives, so if you believe that your classmates hate on you everyday because you are 'annoying' or 'self-centered' then you are going through denial.

  2. I am not talking about myself, just random people. It might affect our daily life but some people are just using it as an excuse for anything and everything that is wrong with their live and that is just wrong. I just took the annoying and self centered thing as an exemple. You're not gonna get bullied every single day of your life, so why assume that people are going to see you as gay and just gay?
