I don’t quite understand gay people …
It’s quite the same way that I don’t
understand people that stick needles in their bodies to get tattoo’s. Or
guys that wear skinny jeans and crush their nuts in the process … ouch!
It’s the same way that I don’t
understand people that bleach their skins or fix weave on their natural
hair. Or people that think Coke is better than Pepsi … are you kidding
me!
I don’t understand all those things. But
I do understand this … that in life we are not going to understand
everything. That there are some things that people will do that will
confuse us, stump us and befuddle us … but just because we don’t
understand them, it does not give us a right to discriminate against
those things and those people especially when they are not harming
anyone.
Besides we have much more important
things to worry about. Things that are actually causing harm to people
daily, from poverty, to unemployment, to corruption, to one of my
personal issues child marriage. These things impact us at a level that
we all can understand and relate to. But rather than focus on these
items we tend to focus on things like the way a person dresses or the
way they look or the way they have sex … as if it is a strong
determinant of the goodness of their character.
But sadly it is not, after-all none of
the convicted political criminals that embezzled millions of dollars
from Nigeria had tattoo’s or were gay or wore skinny jeans.
But yet they stole and we suffered for it and are still suffering from
it. But we can mitigate future suffering if we focus on things that
matter rather than judging people just because they sin differently from
us!
