Like fathers who won't let their sons play Barbies with their sisters. It has nothing to do with what sexuality you are. YES, stereotypes do exist because those things may tend to be enjoyed more frequently by whoever is being stereotyped, BUT those are things that are temporary and are only stereotypes because of our culture. I have friends that are homoseual, and the range of what they find enjoyable is just as vast as with people who are hetrosexual. You and I may not agree on issues related to this, but I can assure you, gay or straight, stereotypes are archaic. What you enjoy has nothing to do with who you are going to, or want to, have sex with or have a sexual attraction too. I think the millennial generation will actually help decrease stereotypes, as the millennials I know are very non-judgmental. Because, in all honesty, we can only control what WE believe and not others.(On a side note, with the access to information we have, people can learn about all beliefs and religions and find which religion or belief system the Creator speaks most clearly to them through.) <br /><br />Point Two:<br />Mostly all I have to say in regards to that is that I completely agree. What brings happiness to someone(like owning a puppy) may not bring that same happiness to us. In the Declaration of Independence it says "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". It is every human beings God given right to happiness, and each person has a unique idea of what brings them happiness.<br /><br />Point Three:<br />What is normal to be doing at your age? I never really understood that statement. And honestly, who wants to be an adult anyway. Adults are lame. :P People who worry about what other people do in their free time have to much time on their hands.<br /><br />Lastly:<br />I have been posting on forums since I was around 12(now I will be 25 in June *scream in fear*) and I have always stood up for someone being made fun of or picked on. The internet is a great place to hide from others while viciously attacking them, and bullies are a dime a dozen on the internet. Those type of people are cowards and you can find solace in knowing that Karma always finds a way. Anyone who sees someone being attacked online for no reason and does nothing about it is just as guilty. Don't get me wrong, it is important to know the entire situation, but when injustice is happening it is our responsibility to stand up when other won't. <br /><br />Communication is a difficult art, and while I consider myself quite good at it(you looking at a qualified middle school mediator :P) it is something that can only be learned from being around and/or communicating with people. Sometimes communication is about asking the right questions, and not forming an opinion until you know the whole situation.Arwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909950080950973910noreply@blogger.com
