Yesterday was "Wear Purple in support of banning Anti-Gay bullying" On the UNT campus, I saw a sea of purple coming from every direction and it honestly made me so proud to be a UNT Eagle. It also stirred a debate between my girlfriends and I. Often, we say how we love gay men, but don't really care for lesbian women. What is up with that double standard?
My friends and I are completely for gay rights, we have several gay and lesbian friends, but why the bias? Honestly, It bothers me that there is that double standards when it comes to this subject. The debate made me look inside myself and really analyze where this bias originates from.
After our debate, I started wondering if this conversation, or others like it, were being had by other people. Conversations that really challenge what people believe and their current opinions.
October 20, 2010 was a day of inspiring hope and introspective personal reflections. I believe this day was instrumental of getting the topic of gay rights to the forefront of every conversation and really showing how much support the gay rights movement actually has.
Equality for All!
