GAY RIGHTS

GAY RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

Human rights are rights we have simply because we exist as human beings  but because of the current state of morality being addressed in the country, some citizens have taken it upon themselves to be judges of who someone should love just because they think sexuality is a choice.

Sexuality is not a choice . Sexuality is not a lifestyle. A lifestyle is something you choose. People did not choose to be gay. The same way I did not  choose to be black that is the same way people did not choose who they want to love or who they want to be attracted to.

If sexuality is a choice, do you think people will choose to love the same gender or the same sex and subject themselves to being disown by their parents, being murdered, being beaten, and being arrested every single day just because of who they love. If sexuality is a choice or lifestyle then why wont  they choose an easier option.

It a shame we do not have the right to love but we have the right remain silence. No they are not going to be silence they going to voice out. 

And per the definition of human right. It is obvious that people are not supposed to fight for their basic human rights. But this is the situation whereby their rights are being taken away from them. Since their rights are taken away from them, they are going to raise their voice. So people should not  get pissed off when the gay community is trying to fight for their right back. We are all equal with our rights and freedoms.

Moreover, times are changing. People have the right to love and choose who they want to be with (same gender) . Telling them to do otherwise against their will is an act of human right abuse. Everyone has a right to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, why should not there be rights to love? Gay rights?
