This morning in the train on the way to my work I was reading a newspaper. There I read that in Isreal the law was changed so that homosexuals can adopt children. This is my opinion a positive change and something that should be changed long ago. I am for equality for everyone.
In the same article I did read that some <censored> politician named Shlomo Benizr there claims now that the recent earthquake in Isreal was because of change of law. Some kind revenge or disaprovement of god or whatever.
This kind of things can make me so angry. I have homosexual and bi-sexual friends who are very close to me. To make it very clear to myself: This is about them… people I like and care about.
Why is it so difficult to respect people for what they are? I mean, I know people with whom lifestyle I certainly don’t agree (religion as example, I am a complete athiest) but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect them or don’t want them to follow their choisen lifestyle… as long they do they same towards others.
If a simple person as I can strive for such a look at life, why can other not? Specially not those that have make a example towards others as political and religous leaders?
Respect towards each other…. it is not difficult.
And please lets stay away from ridiculous statements that a certain nature phenomenon is a bad omen or warning of a god or what. That kind of things belonged to the Dark Ages and not to these times and a modern country.
