I just watched Dr. Phil on television. I usually never watch that, because I can't stand that man. But now there was a debate between people for and against same-sex marriages.
I regret watching it now because I get so damn upset! The American christian right. If I ever have to have a discussion with one of those people I think I would have to be tied down as to not just punch them in the face. How can anyone believe in what they are saying? First of all, they say the bible condemns it, well now, the bible do not condemn to stone people, now would you do that? >___< Aah~ I just get so mad at these kind of things! And the things the prop8 people were saying, if they said those kind of things in Sweden, they'd be hanged out as homophobes and god-knows-what. And rightfully so. I just can't believe the things they are allowed to say without people protesting! And like the commercial for prop8? As if there's anything wrong with children knowing about homosexual marriages? Like it's something shameful?
Here's the cm:
To teach kids that people are equal, that it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, you're worth just as much and you have the same rights. OH NO! DON'T TEACH THESE THINGS TO OUR KIDS! WE WANT THEM TO BE JUST AS PREJUDICED AS WE ARE!!!!
I remember that there had been a lot of talk here in Sweden right before I left for Japan about there not being enough about homosexual relationships in our schools sex education. Sometimes I really feel that Sweden has come a long way. At least compared to a lot of other countries.
But still. The state Sweden is in now really scares me. Especially the amount of racists and their political partys, such as the Sweden Democrats. And they all say the same, we are not racists, we are patriots or nationalists or whatever the hell. I say big fat lies.
I don't really know what I want to say.. It's just that I'm so damn angry with people. Where dies this kind of hatred come from? How can someone hate another person because of sexual orientation or colour of their skin? How??
How can people say that if same-sex marriages is ok, why isn't pedophilia?
How can people really claim that all the rapists in Sweden are immigratns?
Just.. How can people be so ignorant and stupid? HOW?!
Aah~ I'm just getting more and more upset and probably making less and less sense, so I'll stop here.
Am thinking about filtering my entries a little. I think some people do not wish to hear all my whining when I get upset. So well, if you would like to skip some parts of my entries, tell me? Still haven't figured out what kind of filters I should have, so well, any suggestions? ^^

But yes. Proposition 8. Enraged me, and the fact that it was actually passed in California (and by such a small margin), it still makes angry, ugh.
One of my closest friends is very conservative and religious, and she's against gay marriage. We had a huge debate/fight a few months ago over it, actually. Her reasoning was that by legalizing marriage, it's impinging on "her" religious beliefs. I'm just like WHAT? YOU DON'T MAKE SENSE. I think people are just really ignorant. I told her that she's prejudiced, but she doesn't think so >.> We don't bring up that subject anymore, just because I know where it's going to go and I didn't want to put more strain on our relationship :\
Anyway. I think it'll be a long time before people start seeing things clearly. I've always thought that Sweden was a relatively egalitarian society, compared to other countries anyway. I think Canada is making big strides (legalizing gay marriages, abortion, etc) but there are still so many racists and prejudiced people out there. It'll take time I think.

Prop8 might be the stupidest thing in a long long while. I just hope that people will open theireyes and understand that they've voted for a discriminating law that should not be allowed in the society today!
Oh god. Must be so difficult to have a friend with those beliefs and try to not let it get in between the friendship!
I mean, this was not about making priests or whatever marrying people against their beliefs, it's away from church and about having the same rights. .
It's so sad that there's so many issues that still needs to be worked out, that should not even be issues.
Sweden have gone a long way compared to many other countries. I mean we legalized abortion 1975. The problem now is that we walk around applauding ourselves for the progress we've done instead of working with all the issues we still have to work with.
But yeah, we need to give it more work and time.
