What is love? Baby don't huuuurt meeee!

Recently in my theatre class we had to watch a movie called The Laramie Project, for those of you who haven't heard of it the movie is a look at all the interviews from people of a town called Laramie in Wyoming. All referring to the murder of Matthew Shepard, a local college student who was beaten, tied to a fence and left for dead just because he was gay. One scene in particular really made me mad it was of a man, who did not live there, and his following picketing the trial holding up signs like "Burn in Hell Matt", "Aids cures" basically everything revolving around homosexuality being a sin. He said the only reason that the trial was turned in to a big deal was because Matt was gay and if he wasn't no one would be making a fuss about it. Well I think the murder/trial turned in to such a media frenzy because it was such a brutal crime done to someone who was just being themselves. People like this piss me off! I am all for believing in your own opinions and if you don't want to be swayed that's fine you have a right to your opinion but no one has any right to say your going to burn in hell because of who you are attracted to. You don't chose to be gay any more than you chose to be attracted to your Gf/Bf. Homosexuality is not a choice. You don't pick who you are attracted to! It's something you can't control it just happens. I think people need to focus on accepting people for who they are, not try to convince people homosexuality is ok. Some people will never be convinced, and thats fine its their right but GOD is the ultimate judge, he will decide what happens in the end. You can read the bible over and over again but you do not make the decisions of what happens to people and for you to think you have a right to tell another person they're going to Hell is a sin in itself thats not for you to decide, you don't have that power. Acceptance is what we should aim for, just accept people for who they are and let them live how they want its a free country. How would you like it if you were criticized for trying to love someone?
