To be honest, I am not too sure what this blog is supposed to be about. I am supposed to be writing about what underlying ideologies/beliefs are in the text, what is and is not being valued...I have read it over several times but nothing is clicking. Maybe these questions are hard to answer due to the unethical text I decided to work with. The word "gay" does not really have any underlying ideologies or beliefs. It is used as an insult for a multitude of things from trying to hurt someone's personal life style to complaining about some mundane task. There have been for years homophobic and anti-homosexual people out there lashing out against a group of people that are no different from you or me. I guess you could say that the ideologies and/or beliefs behind this prejudice come from different types of groups of people. For example the (Neo) Nazis, Ku Klux Klan, Westboro Baptist Church all  had and have continued to hate the homosexuals either due to a crazed leader or because it is what the bible told them to do. What is not being valued is that no matter your sexual preference you are still a human being. It is the character of that human being that determines whether or not that person is "bad". I think that is what irritates me the most about this topic is because the ignorant homophobic bible pushing idiots cannot see that their ideals and beliefs are what making this world an awful place, not whether or not if a man wants to lie with another man or woman with woman. They can't take the time to open their eyes like their God wants them to and accept all of His creatures for who they are. Now I am no by any means a man of religion or faith but damn it all do I know more about the message of God than those assholes. Yeah sure the bible is up for anyone's interpretation and I know this is supposed to an objective project but this blog isn't objective. It's a blog. Anything goes in the internet as stated by rule #8 of the internet, "There are no real rules about posting." But I digress. So what was I actually supposed to answer? I'm not too sure but I think I touched base on what I was supposed to write about. "Gay" has turned from meaning happy to describing someones personal sexual preference to being tossed around as another insult as common as the word "the". Why? Probably because being gay is different and in society, especially America's, being different is bad and we shun the different. Also the bible told us to hate the gays. So we should definitely pick on them and hate them with as much passion as we can because that makes sense, right? There is absolutely nothing being valued behind the unethical use of gay. The world is full of hate and prejudice, it's a disgusting place where we have groups of people destroying people's lives who are just trying to be happy and find love where they can. But whenever I get infuriated by the ignorance of anti-homosexuality groups I always look down at my wristband that says, "It gets better...<3" and hope for the best.
