why are some people so mean?

I, no I am not gay is that now going to stop you from killing me?
 If I said yes would you think differently?
 Do you want me on your side?
 Fight against people who you say are evil for bringing love to relationships?
 While you fight for your god?
 I have a right to call him my god but don’t you show me different?
 What god will tell people to kill, hate, and discriminate?
 What does it take to make you stop?
 We can’t hide our feelings, but for you we are afraid to state them?
 Does anyone want to adopt if u can have a child with your loved one?
 Then why can’t they adopt the ones you give away?
 I believe more children grow up disfunctual when they grow up with hate don t you?
 Why can’t we love?
 Why can’t we go to church without hearing how we are lesser than you?
 Why is a country more comfortable holding guns than holding hands?
 Why can’t you answer these questions?
 Why can’t you just let them be?
 Why can’t this be your best friend still?
 Why can’t they come for a sleep over again?
 Why do we encourage so much hate?
 Why can’t we just all love god?
 Why can’t we live like you live?
 Why do you think suicide rated our high?
 Why can’t we say we are all humans?
 Why can’t you listen?

As long

as no one tries to force their lifestyle on me I don't care. Hi, I'm Rett and I am a heterosexual. Love me. *G* Come to think of it though. a gay is man loving man... nope, doesn't appeal to me as it does to some. Lesbians love women. AH HAH! I'm a lesbian, love me. *G* Good write Tessa. Respectfully, Rett: "For all you Scrooges who don't like Santa Claus or the true meaning of Christmas, BAH HUMBUG! For the rest of you, MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Rett
