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.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
