Yesterday was International Day Against Homophobia. Isn't that about the saddest thing? Imagine needing a day to remind people that you mustn't be afraid of love. I know I risk oversimplifying what I'm aware is a complex issue, but to me it really does boil down to that.
Man loves Woman
Man loves Man
Woman loves Woman
It shouldn't take a genius to identify that the only constant in this equation is also the only one that matters.
I wish people would just stop. Stop judging, stop hating, stop curbing, stop controlling. The right to love is so fundamental that it doesn't even need to be spelled out. No religion, no belief in the world can dictate how you love and who you love. If there is one thing this world needs - this world plagued by hate, fear, mistrust and conflict - it is love. In all it's amazing forms and shapes and sizes. It's something to celebrate, not condemn. Something to embrace, not renounce.
Love makes the world go round, and homophobes are just annoying and mislead obstacles in its way. I wish they'd stop wasting their time and ours, and indulge in some good old lovin' instead.
