I still have a dream.

So today is the 50th anniversary of that famous Martin Luther King speech, you know the one about having a dream.
I completely respect the movement that this speech spear headed and even though it was plenty before my time I think that what he said and accomplished with his words is astonishing and I am proud to live in a world where I can go to school with others of different ethnicity's and I can learn about the various cultures that the world has to offer.

However, I cant help but think on this day that even though huge strides have been made there is still a HUGE prejudice toward certain people. What I am personally talking about is homosexuality. I think that we are progressing and taking steps forward but really we shouldn't need to have to work at this because what is there to think about?
Should we give gays the right to love and marry freely? HELL YES. what gets me is that this is even a question on peoples minds. How is it that some people are so ignorant that they would preach hate towards another human being.

The bible may state that homosexuality is wrong but it also advocates that we should all love each other, I assume that this is including those who love those of their own sex.
As a person, like im hoping all of you that read this are... When I happen to meet a new person I do not decide if I am going to start a friendship or enjoy someone's company by first asking about their sexual orientation. I get to know a person, not their partner preferences, If I decided that I was only going to be friends with brunette's or that only brunette's could get married the whole world would consider me insane. So why I ask is this any different from sexual orientation, the colour of a persons hair does not make them any nicer or meaner, what colour their hair is, is not going to impact my life so why should who someone loves?

The capacity to love wholeheartedly is a wonderful thing, and denying certain people the right to this is shameful. Love is Love.
