Me:[[ Btw... if your totally lost... I posted this in one of my other blogs so I decided to explain why I used rainbow colors... and then just rant. ]]

The reasons I used the colors of the rainbow is not just because it is a symbol of gay pride, but because I am tired of people,not everyone, but a lot of "everyone" saying that it is wrong.

Being told, for using something as simple as a rainbow to express how you feel, to love who you want to, that it is a sin and God would be very disappointed because the rainbow was God's promise to us that he would not flood the Earth again.

Its a symbol. And like many symbol[s], it has multiple meanings. Just let it be. Take it how you want it, but don't look down on someone else for having a different view on something; For being different. Believe what you want, but don't put a lock on other people[s] thoughts. People don't minds, feelings, people themselves don't belong in a cage... so stop making them feel like they should just lock themselves away.

Heh... whether or not people accept what I am saying, no matter how much they want to deny it... we are ALL people. Human beings. Of one race. So act like it. Others lives are not your own.

So, I ask this, what does it matter to you?

Then there is the matter on Proposition 8. I don't feel like going on and on about it... so if you wish to know more go to the link below.
