The chance to flex my gray matter is ever present given the people who post their negative attitudes and spew their vitriol. I take it as an open opportunity to fight fear and hate with knowledge, wisdom, and kindness. Alas, I become battle-weary quite often. I often grow tired of schooling the challenger. The answer is an obvious no, for if we do not fight the good fight, we will not ever win.
Heterosexuality is viewed by society as the norm.
It is what is expected, and at times demanded. I often hear that the gay community wants special rights. I battle this with the fact that living how you want with no immediate danger, loving freely who you choose, and being able to experience all the greatness and grandeur of simplicity is no special right. It is something I work hard for, and I earn it. I earn it by being a kind human being.
