Bonsai Tree Grows Now

Link

I admire the RI teacher's courage really. As I blog this, I already know what the reaction of some of my friends, acquaintance and groups I belong to will be. But nevertheless, I shall say that I support him.
I've always been a friend of the homosexuals. Not because I am one, but because I feel for them. And I don't think they deserve being treated the way they are now. We should talk about homosexuality more openly, because perhaps then, our fellow friends who belong to this special group will find the support and encouragement which they desperately need.

And no, contrary to what most thinks, I don't think homosexuality is against my religion. That is settled in my mind. So to all who reads this, don't come and try to change my mind.

I'm seventeen this year. And in the seventeen years of my life, I have made quite a few friends who are homosexuals. I probably have more homosexual friends than most people. And these people also happen to be great people with great personalities, not at all fitting the common stereotypes we have of homosexuals. They are pretty much "normal" people, only with a different sexual orientation. (That is, how we define what normal is.) Most important of all, they make great friends.
There is no need for hatred for them, much less fear. I agree that perhaps, a small proportion of the homosexuals may be "a pedophile, a child molester, a pervert or sexual deviant"..but that has nothing to do with their sexual orientation. "Normal" people would have as likely a chance to be one, or even all of the above. Unnecessary fear towards this group of people only deprives you of opportunities to meet and get to know great people, who can well be life long friends.

For those who fear, disapproves or even hate homosexuals, think it through. What exactly do you know of them? Not stereotypes, but actually know. If the answer is no, then be ashamed of yourself for your anti-feelings. For most, the answer would be a no. If the answer is yes, then...I really have nothing to say. I suppose I can't possibly change your mind easily. All I can say to you is are you really sure of what you know. That what you know is not part of the influence around you but really first hand experience.
shoots. I'm starting to rant.

I know I'm gonna get into hell lots of trouble for blogging this post. friends might even leave me. groups may or may not ostracise me. but i never tried to hide my views on this topic. they need as much support as they can get right now. and I'm gonna give that.
it's just that i have met really really great people. they may even be hell lots better in personality, brains and everything else then what we consider "normal" people. they don't deserve the discrimination, i tell you.

Singapore, let's move on. -- strive towards being a gracious, open society.

I'm a girl, who's normal most of the time, but weird otherwise. My nickname in primary school was blurqueen, which was upgraded to BBQ Bizzarely Blurqueen in Secondary 2 during Primary 6 class reunion. I have a huge variety of interests, so I end up being very poor in time management.

random;
Friends, my brother and sisters, and my computer.
I take birthdays very seriously.
I love roses.
I love the late night.
I love manga and anime.
I love my cats, (schro)dinger and newton.
I love concerts.
