"First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the communist and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionists. Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me." -Pastor Niemoeler

I watched the film “MILK” today. Truly inspiring I must say.... for those of you who have not seen the film: It is about Milk, a gay man who demanded gay rights and stood up for them against everything and lost so many things on the way, but never stopped fighting ....
I am not a homosexual, however because I stand up for their rights, people like to label me! But who cares... it does not matter what others think of me, as long as I am true to myself! Now again, I like to take this opportunity to raise my point and demand human rights for all... sometimes it does not matter how much freedom the governments gives people, it does not matter that law says, it is acceptable and legal! It matters that there still are people in the society that are against it...!!! and i still think its painful how there still are uneducated people who make life hard for HUMAN BEINGS, for being different!
I have sympathy for them, because I spent 16 years of my life waking up and fighting for my rights! For my freedom that was taken away! Yet i ended up in exile! What i want to say is that nothing will stop me or people like me! This is human right that should be given to everyone by every individual of this society!!! why being different should be so hard... it would not be hard if we accept each other for what we are!!! Why is it against what God wants ....why do we think life is all about reproduction! Are there not straight couples out there who can reproduce because of medical conditions?!! So what is the difference here! Because you cant reproduce, you shall never taste love and passion?!! Then what is the point of life?! When two people in full forms of knowledge fall in love! Does it matter if they are two boys or two girls or from different sexualities?
I like to leave the whole scientific argument out of this post! Maybe I cover it later! What I want to say is that there is no one in the whole world who is allowed to stop any two people from loving each other! I did a little research in fact and I did not find a single thing about gay marriage or couple in any of the holly books! What i think is that people are scared of differences! And it was nothing but the human mind who made it a sin!!! The made up religion by human minds ruined love and made a sin of it and that is when it all went down the hill!
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” I believe this is from Bible and this says nothing except loving one another!
In Quran the word Love is used 45 times in different terms, but the only times that it is used is in terms of sexual love, it is about loving your woman! Which I found a little sad, since I have heard that a holly book must talk to all, and not destroying equality by leaving women out of the equation by ignoring them! But that is another case!
I can keep on going with this...but all I want to say is that if there is a god above, lets say there is, he would not want Hate on earth! If he is as loving as they say, he wants love to be a major part of our lives! So who are we to decide that it is forbidden! I think we all should unite to let love go further! if there is no love in the world, hate will overtake everything and we will end up living a life, hating ourselves, others and life itself!
Lets fight for human rights! Lets fight for equality and lets fight for love
Loving ones self does not start before you start loving others and loving others by all means, loving them for what they are...and what they truly are!
"Lets love, so we can get our human rights back"
Peace and love
