Most importantly what people need to understand is that no one has the right to judge another person. This is key. Once a person understands that, then they are golden. I truly believe that. We are all here on this earth trying to survive the best we can. Each and every one of us has things going on in our lives and has something that makes us different than someone else. Because we all have something that makes us different, doesn't that really make us all the same? Yes. If a person is lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, that does not mean they should be judged or treated differently. They may not have the same sex life as you but that is their business and it doesn't make them any different than you.They need to be treated with respect just the same as any other person you come across. I don't even like using the word "they" because it really is "we". People need to stop separating others and just join together accepting one another.
We are all equal. This all goes back to SCWAAMP, no matter what, if all categories describe you or if not even one of them does, it should not make a difference. Remember the golden rule? The Golden Rule Yeah the one where we treat everyone equally and as we ourselves want to be treated? That is still important and true.
I really appreciate your point about "they" and "we," Christy. How do you see the August text fitting in to all of this?

ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting that you used the golden rule, that stems from a Biblical principle. Many secular people think that the Bible and Christianity only hates on LGBT, and while many people actually do, that's not what the Bible says to do. Just like you said, the golden rule. Treat others as though you'd wish to be treated, love everyone as God loves them, regardless of who they are and how they live their life.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Christy! :)
