I'm verily pissed off right now
I finally had to un-friended someone on Facebook. I'm really very relaxed about letting others have their opinions, but this particular person (who I've known 20 years) started spewing venom about how it's a SIN to be gay and that gays are "the EBIL that will DOOM our great nation". (alright, I mighta paraphrased that, but it was obnoxious) He's a preacher, guess he was absent from class on the day they taught the verses on NOT JUDGING OTHERS and that in America there's this thing called separation of church and State.
Normally I'd try to re-educate my ex-friend, but I didn't want to do that on Facebook and invite a debate with trolls.
Sorry for venting. I'm wholly of the opinion that no one's sexual preferences are anyone's business until they are sleeping with you. I've learned never to assign a gender/race/socioeconomic background/religion, etc. to anyone I've "met" online (who hasn't freely revealed that info), and normally I keep my own undisclosed. But here it is: White, female, straight, Appalachian, raised apostolic. I'm thrilled to have made friends from various background and preferences. And if any of my FList on LJ feels that being gay is a hallmark of evil....please unfriend me, kthxbai.
