Sexuality

I almost forgot about this...

I got this DVD in the mail this week that talks about
people who are gay and lesbian are not born gay and
lesbian and that they can change if they want to...

Well, it was supposed to be a DVD that I showed to those I
work with and then a discussion was supposed to be held
afterwards. I didn't keep it because I don't agree with
it and that is an entirely different sticky situation but
I am really getting annoyed with the whole issue. I want
to be able to speak up but I think if I did, I could very
easily lose my job. So, I've learned to keep my thoughts
and feelings to myself...except for here...I am
bisexual...but that's neither here nor there as it doesn't
rule my entire life but it does effect it.

However, I just need to rant and rave for a moment...

It angers me that people can't be who they are without
others intefering in their lives. I'm sorry but where on
earth do people get the idea that because someone is
different from them or thinks differently than they do
that they are automatically wrong?! How can anyone be so
arrogant?!

At the same time, I'm not ignorant, I know that human
nature is pretty screwed up...we've proven that throughout
history. I just want the right to be who I am without
anyone judging me too quickly or feeling that it is their
right to harm me because I am different. I know that may
never happen completely but I hope that one day I can feel
free to share who I really am and know that I will be
accepted for who I am.

Okay...I am off of my soapbox...and yes, I do feel better
now...
