To Get Things Out Off My Mind

    “If you let your kids wear these kind of clothes they’ll turn into gay.”
    “Nobody was born gay.”
    “Being gay is a psychological thing.”
    “God has created men to be with women.”
    “He is just a kid he doesn’t know what is right and what’s wrong.”
    “He should act like a man, he was born as a man, he should be a man.”
    Yep, I heard these lines today.
    Was I watching TV? Was I on the street?
    No, I was at my home. My sister and a cousin of mine said that. I was really shocked. I’m not an out gay, but if people look at me they can see that I am not straight. They just pretend not to see it.
    Well, the words hurt me so bad. They were talking about being gay as if it was some kind of sickness, some king of thing you can acquire.
    Where was I?
    My throat was full of words to say, but I didn’t say them. They are stuck here. I’m not sick and I’m not a pervert as they said. And yes, I was born this way. I didn’t have the chance to chose between be a straight guy or a gay guy. How can they say that people turn into gay?
    I just feel bad because of their ignorance.
    I don’t want to say that religious people are mean, but I have to. Well, I won’t say that all of them are mean. I’ve seen pope Francis and he can see us as human being.
   They just got their brains changed by some church thing. They can’t think for themselves. I don’t believe in God and I have to say: It is okay for you to believe in something, but you can’t be blind for the rest of the world just because of the page of an old and doubtable book says that you must do something, you must obey.
    Religious people are worse than faithless people. Religious people judge you. Religious people want to dominate you. Religious people want to change your mind. These kind of people make me want to be far away from religiousness. They make me believe that god is unreal.
    They say that Jesus was a good guy. They say that Jesus would never judge someone. They say that Jesus would love everyone. And they say that they follow Jesus steps… Can you explain me how?
   

    God, if you really exist make them think for themselves. Make them see the light of knowledge. Enlighten them, and please make them act as they use to say that you acted. Thank you.
