One of my boys got on twitter tonight talking reckless in my opinion about the Homosexual lifestyle. Saying things like "Why are people gay?" and "Are gay people confused?". I understand he was quoting/referring back to a video on World Star Hip Hop (all credentials lost), but painfully I know that's how he actually feels. Needless to say, it topped the charts of the most ignorant and insensitive things I've ever heard/read. This is my fucking boy telling me this, a good friend of mine. I had to step back for a second and analyze our friendship-cause I don't want friends who think like that. Had to think if it was worth pulling the plug on.
Never realized why older people considered political views to be so personal and private until this very moment. I've seen political parties tear apart mature friendships. Pride and what you stand for can be very costly and I hold too much value to my friends. I know now the importance of avoiding that whole conversation (if need be). Can't really depict that anymore, you just have to reach that point of realization for yourself.
I am a humanist and I strongly encourage equal rights. I'll write that shit on my fucking forehead, word to whoever.
