My friend and I were discussing gay rights which was sparked by a News Feed on Facebook stating that Disney Channel was introducing their first gay couple. My friend's responses mostly had to do with how gays are incredibly judgmental about anyone except another gay. Although, I agree with him to a degree, I don't see a reason to assume all gays are exactly like the two or three my friend had met. It's hard to be something different. I know growing up in America as a Korean-born, I felt a lot of the same feelings. People don't see you as a human being, but rather something foreign that should be avoided. Especially since my friend is the most advantageous of people. He is a white male living in America. I believe in rights for people regardless if it's a fad or if they're rude. I believe the human race should treat members of its own kind as human beings not viruses or plagues out to harm. I believe in black rights, white rights, Asian and Mexican rights, gay and lesbo rights, women rights, men rights. As far as you are a legal citizen, why should you be treated as if you have invaded. It's much like World War 2 when Hawaii was attacked by the Japanese, suddenly the citizens that lived within the United States were enemies to the country. We need to rethink the way we treat people.
