I just cant understand....

I believe i just dug myself a huge grave this up and coming PBL project. You see for this project we were supposed to take something we were passionate about and turn it into a propaganda poster. Well me and two friends decided to turn this into our over all PBL project. We decided to go with the gay pride, rights, and more. Now you may be wondering, why would i be digging my grave? Here is the answer for you: I CAN'T STAND PEOPLE WHO BASH ON THE HOMOSEXUAL COMMUNITY!!! I have grown up with a lesbian mother and i am proud to be her daughter. What i hate is that a lot of the population on this earth, cant see the homosexual community as every day people. Instead they see them as this monster, mistake, even a disease that can be cured by camps! Those who bash on others for they're sexuality are so narrow minded its not even funny. Times have changed! Whats it to you with who's sleeping with who! Its no ones right but your very own. My anger towards people who cant accept the homosexual community is beyond furious. I have grown up being a well rounded person, accepting people for who they are, not for who they sleep with. I guess i just don't understand.
I cant understand the hate in this world that goes on everyday. The pain millions of people face everyday. Afraid to show who they really are. I learned just the other day about a young man, who came out that he was gay and two men decided to brutally beat him to death and tie him to a fence like a scarecrow. When someone had finally found him. It was to late, Matthew Shepard had already died. Tears of crimson blood ran from his eyes as he died. For 18 hours, he was tied there, waiting to die and wondering what he had done to deserve this. To die alone, beaten to death. When he was found, the biker that found him, at first mistook him as a scarecrow. His face had been so beaten in, and the blood that caked his face covered his skin. Upon a closer look, he found it to be young Matthew Shepard.
My project isn't about pushing my ideas onto people. No, its about understanding that even if your gay, lesbian, bi, transgender, ect, we're all people. We all live on this earth as one. We should all be treated equally, not based on how we live our lives. If we based it on that, than there are worse people out there that are far more worse than being gay.
