There comes a point in life where your family just pushes you too far.
They push you too far, even when you try so hard to keep them happy, to help around the house and to just do what your family wants you to do.
And those moments, where they talk down to you, make you feel like absolute shit, and just belittle your every decision, is when you feel your whole world crumbling down.
it makes you stop and think, what am I actually doing in my life and who am I actually doing it for? because all I’ve done so far hasn’t made me happy and it clearly isn’t making you happy, so what’s the point? Why is nothing I do ever good enough, for anyone, especially those who are supposed to love you?
And that’s the biggest wake up call.. when your family, the people who are supposed to love you can’t really appreciate anything you do, and who can’t even acknowledge how much they hurt you, then how alone are you really…
sick of it all.
Which brings us back to same sex marriage. I for one have never accepted the argument from some Christians that homosexuality is an abnormality. People do not choose to be gay. The near universal findings of biological and psychological research for most of the post war period is that irrespective of race, religion or culture, a certain proportion of the community is born gay, whether they like it or not. Given this relatively uncontested scientific fact, then the following question that arises is should our brothers and sisters who happen to be gay be fully embraced as full members of our wider society? The answer to that is unequivocally yes, given that the suppression of a person’s sexuality inevitably creates far greater social and behavioural abnormalities, as opposed to its free and lawful expression.
