And light eight times the speed
I have a song that I have loved for many years, called "Embrace".
The first time I listened to this song, I just thought the words were beautiful. After searching for the story behind the song, I learned that it was a song written for the gay community.
That was the first time I started to get in touch with and get to know this group.
At that time, "homosexuality" was just a relatively unfamiliar term, and many years later, the social tolerance was higher, and the gay community was able to go from a dark corner to the sun, but it was far from enough.
Today (5.17) is the International Day of End of Homophobia, and we will take advantage of this time to talk about this topic.
one
A classmate chatted with me before and she said that one of her male friends was gay.
Her male friends lived in a more enlightened family, and the boy's grandfather had said that homosexuality should be respected. So when she knew her friends wanted to come out with the family, she was very supportive.
But who would have thought that these so-called enlightenments of the boy's family were to exclude the boy.
After coming out to his family, the boy was met with strong opposition from the family, with his grandfather being the most emotional. The family was forced to break off the family relationship, but the boy did not want to compromise. In the end, he was kicked out of the house by his relatives.
This is not an isolated case.
Today's society seems to be much more receptive to homosexuality, but it is limited to young people. The view of most parents who can accept homosexuality is that "it's okay to be gay, but my kids can't be." ”
Is this really inclusive? Don't count.

The gay community is more likely to feel overwhelmed when they find themselves gay, and may even fall into periods of self-doubt.
They plucked up the courage to confess to their dearest people, in exchange for the death of the closest people. Is this reasonable?
Most parents do not want their children to be gay and should not want their children to be unacceptable to society, or they want their children to be able to marry and have children and live a "normal" life.
But getting married and having children and living the so-called "normal life", is it what parents want to see, or what children want to see?
If it's not what they want, why force them?
There is a view that if parents cannot accept that their children are gay and force them to change, it is actually not loving their children enough.
I think so, because if you really love someone, you should think in that person's shoes.
Let me give you an example.
You are a parent, your child is very fond of eating chicken wings, you will meet his desire to eat chicken wings from time to time, learn all kinds of chicken wings practices, even if you did not like to eat chicken wings before.
Your child loves a star, even if you don't understand it, but you will still acquiesce to his behavior within a reasonable range, and even be willing to know more about the star for him.
Why is this acceptable to you, that your child is gay and you feel intolerable?
Because loving chicken wings and chasing stars is the so-called common sense, and liking people of the same gender as yourself is beyond the normal range you think.
Don't say that getting married and having children is a must in life, there is no such rule.
Acceptable depends on how much you love your children. Because love is not only to raise a child, to feed him, to feed him, to provide him with books, love is to understand the soul, within the scope of discipline and law,even if it does not understand, but also to respect.
The world is diverse and colorful, love is beautiful, and love should not look like only heterosexual.

In addition to the changes that parents should make, society should also slowly become more inclusive.
There is a culture that is very popular among young people today, and it is called Tammy.
Because of the existence of beauty, the average acceptance of the gay community by this generation of young people is slightly higher, but unfortunately, the beauty culture seems to only affect young people.
It seems that the culture of Beauty can only exist on the Internet, or the personal history printed by the writer himself. When The book is published publicly, the emotional line must be deleted.
One of my favorite forensic novels is like that. The novel itself is a kind of criminal investigation novel with a complex story line and a logical and meticulous, with very few emotional lines, but even so, after publication, it has changed to brotherhood.
It is also very difficult to defend one's rights after being copied by bg to romance novels, because it is not recognized by the public.
Doesn't this reflect that social inclusion is not enough?
You can't even accept the fictional character relationships in literary works, let alone the living people in life?
More and more countries and regions in the world have passed same-sex marriage laws, and there are occasional marches in areas that have not passed. Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
I hope that the voices of pro-homosexuality in our society will become louder and louder; I hope that in the near future, no one will talk about the orientation of others; I hope that the gay community will be able to stand in the sun and enjoy the blessings of all.
Because love is sinless, love never has only one form.
