Artist's Comments

HUGE RANT AHEAD!!!!

All right, so maybe during the past few weeks, I've seen too much anti-homosexuality stuff; and nowadays, I feel offended more and more with each anti-gay/lesbian comment/drawing I see. Some of the hate is based purely on the fact that it's "unnatural" and a "choice," which I will argue about later. Most often, though, I see people saying about how God deems it as a sin.

How is love a "sin?" Isn't it a sin to deny someone the right to love whomever they want, no matter the what genitals they have? Love can be a beautiful thing, and no one should be held back from it. Let a man hold his boyfriend's hand in public; let a woman kiss her girlfriend in public. Let them do what they want without the cruel "God hates fags!" remarks being yelled and flaunted about on protest posters. I mean, I sure don't see many heterosexual couples getting sneered at for making out in the park. So why should same-sex couples be forced to hide their feelings when they are just as capable of love?

And please don't start the "Hate the sin, love the sinner" crap with me. I've seen that said a hundred times over, and quite frankly, I'm sick of it, since the people using it imply that homosexuality is a sin. And you already know how I feel about the entire "sin" thing, don't you?

How about the entire "curing" deal? What, is homosexuality suddenly a disease? How about the women, like me, who enjoy wearing nothing more than clothing made for guys? It seems like some people now think they're lesbians. And are men wearing earrings suddenly gay? Oh, so next time you see some male waiter in the local diner wearing a little gold hoop, you'd better get out, you might get AIDS. (There really was a crazy lady somewhere saying she left a restaurant JUST because the man waiting on her was wearing a little earring. Now THAT is simply being a narrow-minded fool...) Don't forget, you can't fix what isn't broken, nor can you save what is already okay.

Then I see the whole "Well, it was your choice" stuff. No. It really isn't a choice. It's more of a realisation of exactly who you love. It's not like someone goes and says, "Hey, I guess I'll be gay from now on!" Right. And does that mean heterosexuals go on and say, "Yeah, and I wanna be straight!" Maybe if you're a jerk who thinks being a gay or a lesbian is a fad. (No, scenesters/emos/whatevers, it's not a fad. Grow up. The most you'll get is a kick from me, with the lot of you mocking something you know you aren't. And what is it for most of the time? Oh, yeah. Attention. From the opposite sex, of course.)

And about the "unnatural" part... I saw someone say about how "even animals know better." Tell that to those two homosexual male penguins. (Old news, but here - [link]) And you'll notice the mentions of many other animal species which can show a tendency to prefer same-sex relationships. And hey, aren't we humans a part of the animal kingdom? Just goes to show, doesn't it?

I just believe that man and woman should be able to love whomever man or woman wants to and not worry about being humiliated or injured just because the two soul mates have the same genitals.

I have quite a few other things I'd like to say (bisexuality and other sexualities included), but I won't, since I'm sure I've proven my point well enough. Go ahead and enlighten me with your opinions, as long as you don't shove them down my throat. I very much despise choking on potentially pointless stuff. I'm a stubborn bitch; what can I say?

And yes, you all have permission to put this stamp in your journals, as long as you are subscribed. That's the point of the stamp, right? I'm quite addicted to making them, though. They be fun, useful, and inspirational when it comes to making short and effective statements. So expect some more in the future, okay?

GAWD, Cass. How are you not my bff? Seriously? Haha.
But ohhh man, I second you on alllllll of that. And you've noticed the surge of anti-homosexuality too? Holyshit. I was watching the Bill O'Reilly factor on TV (I disagree with so much of what he says, but I still watch and listen to him for some unknown reason) and he's making that Katy Perry song, "I Kissed A Girl" out to be some... I don't know! Plague! What made me smile, though, was that the two people he brought on to debate about it were like "No, I don't think so, I think it's more just an expression of blah blah blah..." But, like, he didn't get the response we wanted, which made me a happy camper. And, I mean, I don't even like the song that much. (I dunno if you've heard it, it's a song about a girl in a bar who was exploring her sexuality. "I kissed a girl, and I liked it." From what I can tell, anyway). And then me and Mum got into a big argument about homosexuality, because she started getting on me about how I freely and openly support it, and just... We were going bakc and forth about how she thinks it's "not natural" and I wanted to sock her one. Thankfully, I kept myself restrained. But god. Power to you, man!

Nicely written and true all around! Granted I think anyone playing tonsil hockey in public needs to get a room, no matte their gender, but that's another issue entirely. :grins:

I'm asexual myself, so the stamp doesn't really represent me, but kudos to you for standing up for what you believe in. :D

Haha, thank you very much. :bow: Even though I'm slow at replying. D:
I don't know who this Bill O'Reilly guy is, but I'm quite glad I don't. He seems to be a bit of a jerk, the way you describe him. (Although I will admit, that song IS a bit of a plague, in the way that it's so overplayed on the radio... *cringes* Just not my kind of music...) But I'm glad Bill didn't get his desired response. I'd probably attack him if he did get what he wanted, 'cause I'm sure there would've been a lot of brainwashing involved.
Next time, you should say, "Not natural, MY ARSE," and then walk away. Might get in trouble, but you have the right to voice your opinion, am I not correct? But what really works is to give her a calm talking-to. My Mum almost used to be the same way as yours, but recently, she's become a supporter, as have my brother and my Dad.

"Don't forget, you can't fix what isn't broken, nor can you save what is already okay."

You speak the truth! (I may use that quote in the future if you don't mind)

Homophobic Christians (or other religious homophobes) give faith a bad name. I'm in love with a girl currently (I'm bisexual, by the way) and she loves me too, but I can't imagine God being against our love. Is not God himself love? People who use religion as an excuse for homophobia or try and cover it up with "Love the sinner, hate the sin" kind of bull s**t need to realise that same-sex couples are just as good as opposite-sex couples, and that we deserve equal rights.

This is a great stamp, and I enjoyed reading your rant. :+fav:

Thank you for making this stamp :3 and for the rant! I believe that when you look past the gender, the genitals, skin and body, all that is left is two souls that love each other :heart:~

What a beautiful rant! And I love the stamp, too.

Gosh, that is all so true. I hate how people are just like "oh, I prefer girls/boys."
What the heck? Does someone's personality really mean nothing when compared to what private parts someone has?

People nowadays just use love as a good excuse to sleep with each other. It's sickening. Love is too tender of an emotion to be treated like that.

Not many people can say "my mom got beat up by a 10-year-old," but I sure can :D
:iconmy-valium:
"Hate the sin, love the sinner"

what gets me the most about that part is for me being "that way" is a small part of me. If they hate that sin which is part of me therefore they hate that part of me. i.e hating me even if it's a small part.

therefore when you break down what they say it goes back on itself. I also dislike people who "pray for you because you are different" It's an insult to all my beleifs. o.o
