Love Cannot Be Killed Or Swept Aside

Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love.

Love Cannot Be Killed Or Swept Aside
Netflix's 'Love'

It stuns me when I log onto any of my social media platforms and see how people view love. Love is both simple and complex. It takes some people many years to understand it's meaning and fully appreciate what it is. I love love! I become jubilant when I see people happily in love. However, when I see things such as "The Homosexual Agenda" and people who are fighting for laws to be created that prohibit homosexual couples from getting married or adopting children, I become infuriated.

Many people argue that if homosexuals have the right to marry, then it will ruin the sanctity of marriage. I'm sorry, but I do not understand your reasoning behind this claim. If homosexual couples gain the right to marriage, then what will happen? It will cause marriage to become less of a thing? It will ruin the meaning of marriage? Divorce ruins the sanctity of marriage, not people who love each other.

The argument for "homosexual couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt children" is that the children will somehow "become" gay. As opposed to popular opinion, being gay is not a choice. Sane people do not "choose" to become ridiculed day to day and they do not "choose" a lifestyle where they would rather die than be who they are. It is not a choice. Also, if the reason why people "become" gay is because they are influenced by their parents, why do millions of heterosexual couples have gay children?

There is no such thing as a "homosexual agenda." There isn't anything that needs to be fought against. The only things that they're fighting for is to have the same human rights that heterosexual people have. If you want to fight for something, fight for the homo sapiens agenda. That's what they are: humans. They're just like you and me.

Another thing that people argue is that the Bible says to hate homosexuals because what they are doing is an abomination. I am a Christian and the people who say those things are not representatives of the religion that I practice. The Bible says to live your life as God would and God says to love thy neighbor. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to hate someone. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to ridicule someone. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to bully someone until they decide to commit suicide. People who "choose" to be gay would not commit suicide because of what someone else says about them. They would "choose" to become straight again. However, as being gay is not a choice, they cannot choose to become straight again.

The definition of love is an intense feeling of deep affection.

It does not state that it has to be between a man and a woman.

"Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside."

A friend of mine once said, "Close minded people would be much easier to tolerate if they kept their mouths closed."

The heart wants what it wants.

Love is patient, love is kind.

Be patient. Teach patience.

Be kind. Teach kindness.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."
