Prejudice. Hate. Discrimination.
All pretty ugly words, but you know what's worse the feelings that are brought by them. Then the hardest decision is what to do about it. Run? Let them win? Oh no I have too strong a character to do that.
The guy that gets up and goes to school while jeers of 'faggot' and 'queer' ring in his ears from the hostile phone call the night before. Every glance screams paranoia with the unknowing of who is gunning for his life. The ignorance that surrounds someone making them hates him for simply loving. Love what God gives each and everyone one of us. Love that some bigot would destroy for the simple reason as because it's not a bimbo girl that would give herself to him every night that he's in love with no it's a gentle fair eyed boy.
The girl that rides the bus and is shunned by the Caucasians and by the African Americans because she is neither she is from a small Spanish speaking island in the Caribbean. Phrases like "Spic", "Migrant Worker", "Cheap labor", "Cheap Whore" that would chisel away at self image and confidence of any weaker woman but she takes them in stride and works to better herself.
The boy who does not prey to our God, but another one. One that requires more than just a church trip on Sunday and Wednesday but demands several prayers a day. This boy is condemned by the mass because of people he has no relation to, no knowledge of, just a resemblance of suicidal terrorists.
Who are mere mortals to judge these people? Who are they, you ask? I would love to sum it up in one word. Most would say Rednecks, Preps, and God only knows what other "Genre" a human being can fall into. But with that statement you've become one of them. Everyone has enough of their faults in character without having to be judged because of their emotions or heritage or the color of their skin or the God they prey to. This is a Sanctuary. A Place of Peace. No one will be cast away unless they would cast aside another. Judgment is not the task of mortals if it was then there would be no need for God. Of course without evil there is no need for hope. Then that is what I want. A place where hope is not needed…because everything we could ever want is right here. Hate is a disease, don’t let it become an epidemic, vaccinate yourself with acceptance of others even if you lack understanding as to why they are different.
Okay my people to inform you. A friend of mine has been having some trouble on the question of his sexuality. Which I have no idea what it is but it's no one's business but their own. But because of this harassment he is probably leaving. I'm making a request anyone with a story to tell please sit down write it and send it to me. I'll try to post one maybe two a day depending on lenght. When I feel we have enough I'll tell him to take a look at this page in an attempt to show him he's not alone and perhaps to get him to stay. Please those of you that know this boy don't tell him I would like that honor.
