So I’m not allow to say where I heard this but, the other day I was sitting in my desk at one of my jobs when all of a sudden I hear someone say “some may deny it, but being a homosexual it’s a preference” literally! Now, I know you may be thinking that because of the fact that I am a homosexual myself I get aggravated by everything surrounding that topic, let me just say that it is not like that but when it is something that made me struggle and suffer a lot when I was growing up of course there will be a reaction from me. I walked to one of the persons holding down that conversation “Professional lecture” and asked in what were they basing that knowledge, and the I was told that they received a training related to domestic violence where they learned or were told that being gay it’s a preference… ugh! Ok…
When I was growing up there was A fight inside of me wanting to be with a man but also praying, begging screaming, and crying to god to please let me be a “normal” person I didn’t want to be on “sin” (how stupid I was), or I didn’t want to disappoint my family, I definitely didn’t want to be the object of laughing around my family… I did NOT want to be the person I was…
That being said, to say that being gay it’s a preference to me is like saying you had a choice, like you could be straight but then you chose to be gay. I don’t think so!! Who would ever wanna be in a position of suffering and rejection when there is the option of acceptance and happiness, isn’t it crazy?
Oh my dear love ones don’t you think that I don’t like, love, admire, myself for being who I am right now, of course I do, but it was a long process of acceptance for me that finally ended on a March 08, 2001 (international women’s day) isn’t ironic?
To end this I just wanna say that even though I believe that a person is born gay not made it has not been proved yet, just like there is no prove that a person becomes gay after certain circumstances…
Peace my dear ones!
