Love Doesn't Have A Gender

I wanna start off and say that there is something that really makes me I like mad... some people say love can only be towards the opposite sex. Which I believe is wrong . I think that if you’re truly happy with the same sex then forget what people think. It's not their life is it? No, then don’t let people tell you how to live your life. Do what truly makes you happy.

Well my name is Lexi, I have people tell me that it isn’t right to be ”Gay“ All the time. Honestly I get so mad about it too. I don’t think its right for people to tell me that it’s not right to date the people I wanna date. That's like me saying it's not right to be straight . But I’m not gonna get into that.


Well, one day at school as I was walking through the halls and I heard these two tall guys talking to each other  they had very deep voices and right before I was about to put on my headphones , I heard one of them say, “It’s gross for the same sex to date. ”  I wanted to turn around and say something but no, I just kept walking because I know that people have there own thoughts about the whole “Same Sex Thing.” But I was mad about it all day . I couldn’t stop thinking about what they Said It just kept making me more and more mad throughout the day.


That weekend I was going to hang out with my girlfriend. I found out that her dad wasn’t all that happy about the “same sex“ thing. Which I was kinda scared of that happening because I was in a five-month relationship before and her parents made us stop seeing each other because they didn’t like that she was dating a girl. I didn’t want that to happen with us because I really liked her.

 

She wasn’t just my girlfriend, she was also my best friend. So I didn’t wanna loose my bestfriend and my girlfriend. So it made me start thinking A lot . I was also Kinda mad at the same time.  But I mean I understand that he wasn’t use to it.. But I also think he didn’t really like that his daughter was dating a girl. I know I don’t really like that fact but I mean everyone has their own thoughts about things and I respect that.


It’s not that I don’t like people because some of them don’t like that, but I don’t think it’s right for people to tell people they're going to hell for being gay. Honestly it's the only thing that really makes me mad. I just want people to understand that it's not right to judge someone for being gay . But I wanna know why people that like the same sex can’t be happy too? I just want people to keep their rude comments to themselves. Sometimes all I want is for people to act like they don’t care about it .


This might even be something I’ll have to deal with for the rest of my life. But honestly I’m willing to put up with it. If you truly like the same sex you won’t care what others think of you. Forget what they think. Don’t let people bring you down or make you feel like you can’t be who you really are. Honestly be proud of who you really are.
