Supporting the "Gay" community

To the ones that spread hatred towards the LGBT community. 

I support anyone involved within the community. I also despise those spread hatred. So, here's my Insight and thoughts on the subject  from a non-gay white girl perspective. 

-Don't be afraid of what others think. 

-Our higher power made you who you are today. (not sure if you are Christian so please don't take offense) 

Embrace that. 

-It takes courage to stand up and reveal that you are a Homosexual, bisexual, transgender, lesbian ect. 

-You are very courageous in many ways. 

-Be unique. 

-Be yourself. 

-Don't let others take away your happiness. 

-If your neighbors, "friends", co-workers, family ect. interfere, call the police. 

-Your personal business is not their business and vice versa. You have rights. 

Here is a simple remedy to alleviate your stressors. 

-I would do is type a letter to said individual using verbiage below. 

Dear (name):

As you may know, I am a LGBT individual. My boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, wife,  significant other is As well. 

Please be aware of this, as you continue to berate me, discriminate against me, destroy my property and attempt to humiliate me. I have rights as an American citizen, I am free to love whom I choose, as well as being entitled to freedom of speech. 

 If you insist upon making a mockery of yourself, please exit my life, move, or talk to the wall. As these negative and hate-filled comments are discriminating and hurt me, which I am sure is your purpose. 

I do not appreciate your negativity and hatred towards me and the community I am currently involved within. 

I'm certain, you hold skeletons in your closet or secrets as well. 

I was brave enough to reveal mine. 

Your continued harassment and guile will not be tolerated and I will be forced to file legal charges against you if it continues. 

"Those without sin, cast the first stone."

Wishing Happiness, peace and love

Namasté 

Your horrible gay neighbor.

More than you can handle?

2/16/2016:

As I write this I ponder the world around me, advice I have been given and how I can change the chaos that surrounds me.
I can't, I can only control myself.

I have been through several life changing events within my entire life.

It's been said, "God will not give you more than you can handle" and "Everything happens for a reason". 

These two statements, are very powerful.

1 Corinthians: 10:13

Women's Devotional Bible (NIV)

"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is Faithful, he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."

My interpretation: 

I believe this actual scripture involves temptation, not tribulations. 

I do believe things happen due to free will, succumbing to sin and leaving God, not putting him first and not thinking before acting or just being a victim of circumstance.  

Life is not fair. 

Life is more of a game than just black and white. 

Things happen, good and bad. 

Things happen to everyone. 

Rich, Poor, Old, New, Gay, Straight ect. 

Sometimes we survive and sometimes we do not. 

I believe that the way you handle yourself when going through a valley of despair ultimately determines your character. 

Humbling yourself and asking for help, praying, helping others, and living the Golden Rule will help move one from the valley back to the mountain. 

My second topic: 

"Everything happens for a reason." This actual quote was stated by Aristotle in his early years. 

"The well-known Greek Philosopher Aristotle, believed that everything happens for a reason, always. And that every experience in your life, was designed to shape you and reform you into the ultimate and greatest version, that could ever imagine yourself to be. The only thing that prevents this, is having the wisdom to see it."

We are all human, we all have free will and we all go through valleys and mountains. 

Try to think positive. 

Know that wherever you are in life, someone is doing worse than you. 

Be thankful. 

Send encouraging thoughts to someone else, this will refresh them and relieve your pain. 

My challenge to you: (pick 1 or many)

1. Buy someone a coffee today.

2. Pay for their newspaper

3. Send an actual piece of mail to someone, let them know you are thinking of them. 

4. Call someone and tell them you love them. 

5. Smile at someone. 

6. Let that person in front of you while you are driving. 

7. Smile at yourself. 

8. Make a funny face to a child. 

9. Put up trash on the road. 

10. Pass out homeless bags. 

Peace, love and happiness.
