Woman’s mind in man’s body

THE EDITOR: I am an actively religious person. As a person who has a strong connection with God I would like to say that any religion is based on love. Marriage be it heterosexual or homosexual is about loving someone. In these modern times where everybody “horning” everybody else you don’t know who you can trust. It is very difficult to find true love and be happy. If a person has found that, who are we to say that is wrong. A few decades ago the “white men” believed that the “black man” was an animal not even human, they believed that they were put on this planet to serve them. If you asked them they could also show where in the Bible that God said “black people” are not human. We all know that is not true but back then that was the way of life. Just as people now are putting down homosexuals.

A study by MTV showed that 80 percent of teenage boys who kill themselves is because they are gay. From a young age our society has drilled into our heads that homosexuality is wrong. These young boys and girls who are homosexuals have to live every day hearing that they are disgusting, they are filth, they are called “faggots” or “dykes”, they are told the love they are feeling is wrong when they can’t love in any other way. What are their options? Do you know what it is like to get up every morning going out into a world that hates you, despises the ground you walk on? Do you know what it is like to hear the person you love deny that you are in a relationship? Do you know what it is like to finally find someone you love and have to end it because you’re scared someone will find out?

This is not something you can control, it is just how you are. A study done by the Discovery Channel shows you can be born with an imbalance in other words you can have the mind of a woman but the body of a man. This world is too cruel, hurtful and harsh. If one person can find happiness in it without hurting any of the others why should we stand in their way. It may be wrong, who knows, but who are we to judge; the only one who can is God. When judgment Day arrives who do you think will be wrong, a man for loving a man or you for hating/ridiculing your fellow man? The world we have made for ourselves is not a nice one. I pray to God for more love and understanding for everyone. This world already has too much hate. A little love can go a long way.
