I know I haven't posted a review since March. I have a review written down and will post eventually. What I'd like to talk about today is what has just recently happened in New York. Last night 33 senators passed a law that made it legal for gay and lesbians to get married in New York. Right after that voted, the governor signed the bill into law making New York the sixth state where gay marriage is legal.
This is a great victory for both New York and the LGBT community. What has happened is telling the gay and lesbian community that their love is equal to those of straight couples. It tells New York that everyone in America is equal and deserving of equal rights as is written in the constitution.
Those of us in the LGBT community are human as well. We bleed the same blood as our fellow humans. We are not diseases. We are not freaks or abnormal. Our love is not a disorder. Loving the same gender is just as normal as our hair color, skin color, height, size, and emotions. We can hide these thing, but it will always be a part of us.
There will always be those who will not understand, those who believe that homosexuality is a choice or disease. We must not let them get us down. We will always have to fight for equal rights. There will always be those who are treat less than equal. It might seem hard and frustrating, but it will get better. Soon, there will be marriage equality for gay and lesbian couple. We will be able to adopt children. We will finally be equal. New York was just one of many steps to take for this to be a reality.
As LGBT Pride Month nears its end, let us always take pride in who we are and love our friends, family, and significant others. Let's fight for our rights and smile all the way through.
