Ignorance questions are basically questions that ignorance people always ask to people like me. "Part 1" indicates that there will be more questions in the future. well, i don't have my part 2 yet for now but i am very sure there will be, soon. maybe part 3, 4, 5, 6 and so on will follow after that. ignorance questions or statements are because of several factors: ignorance, lack of understanding, common sense and basic knowledge or mere stupidity. If a person asks you these questions or saying these things to you, a good, solid facepalm is good way to start- before you actually answer their question. the order of the questions does not indicate the significance of the question itself, it merely means the question popped first in my mind.
1. Why do you chose to be gay?
Now, let me ask you, would you choose to live a miserable, discreet, unhappy, dejected life (because of the homophobic)? why do you want to throw away the prospect of living in a happy family with your wife and kids of your own? why would you choose to have so many people hating and make fun of you? why would you take the risk of being disown by your own family, friends and society? why would you choose to have people telling you that you have sinned and will definitely going to hell regardless of all the other goodness you are doing? Why would i trouble myself to write this blog? Do we get to choose your sexuality? even in The Sims, the sims themselves don't decide their sexuality- the player decide it all. if you know what i mean. anyway, when did the heterosexuals chose to be heterosexual?
2. GUY: "so you are attracted to me?"
If a guy asks me this question, they have to ask themselves if they are attracted to all the females in the world? well, my elder brother asked me this. he maybe disgusted by my sexuality but i am sure that i was more disgusted by this question he asked me. so, let me get this straight. being gay doesn't mean I want every guy's dick and want to have sex with all of them. especially not my own brother. that's incest (i am sure we have heard a lot of straight people doing it. it's in the news everyday).
3. You can get AIDS and die for being gay, you know?
Everyone saying this deserve the virus themselves. OK, I'm just angry. no one should have the disease. Anyway, there are several ways for HIV to spread. I pray that anyone asking this question know what is AIDS. and of course, heterosexuals, and even virgins are vulnerable to this disease. Do the world a favor and read! Internet is not just for you to say nasty things to gay people online or watch your porn.
4. Do you know that you are going to hell for being gay?
Really? Why? because i am sinning for being gay? Fine. You asked for it, lets talk about sin. Don't ever forget that sin is actually a bad thing. literally. so what are the examples of bad thing? Hatred, discrimination, prejudice, bullying... sound familiar? all religions ask us to love, even our enemies (in case you have already forgotten). verses about love in Bible, for example, exceed verses about anything else. what does this implies to you? when you impose hate, uttering hate speech, bullying, every time you do that, you destroy a part of a person's soul, and self esteem. Young people, teen and preteen are very fragile. exposure to continuous bullying, discrimination and prejudice is hurtful. the pain will slowly accumulated in a person's heart and it causes tremendous stress- and worst, suicide. when a person killed himself because of the hate speech you utter, you are the killer. don't tell me that killing a person is not a sin. it's probably one of the biggest sins. it kills me to see people killed himself because of bullying.
I am already skeptical whether you really understand your scripture or just saying what others are saying. Did anyone told you that God creations are beautiful as they are and that He loves all people without the slightest of any kind of discrimination? you may now feel free to realize that you are sinning, but that is not all because are you sure that you are not making any other sins in your daily life until your death? just because you sin differently from me doesn't give you the right to tell me that i am going to hell. (oh, in case you have forgotten, judging someone is also a sin). That said, shall we go to hell together?
