A lot of the arguments against the equal rights of LGBT in the community begin with statemets such as. “What will happen if…” or “How is this right? We were always taught….”
A famous quote by Suneidos sums this reasoning up just about perfectly. “We fear what we do not understand.”
This is just about how every controversy begins. Abortion. We do not know for certain whether or not life begins at conception. Race. The reason for racism and prejudices is a misunderstanding. People are used to what they know, and when something or someone new is thrown into the equation that they’ve never seen before or that they don’t understand, they get thrown off track. Religion. We don’t know how we got on this Earth. Some people find religion to be their safe haven and answer to this difficult question. Because without an explanation, there is nowhere to turn to for an answer, and a simple “We don’t know how we got here” just won’t set well with many people. Sexuality. It has been understood since we were children that the prince marries the princess and they live happily ever after. To think of a possibility where that prince doesn’t find the perfect princess for him, and rather he another prince that makes him much happier than a princess ever could… That’s just too much to handle for some. Because we don’t understand it.
I can see why some people might be uncomfortable with the topic, or even scared of it. The truth is though, that it does exist. People don’t have to agree with it, but the least they could to is learn to respect it.
