Are we all the same?


Gay Marriage, some think it is normal; yet, some think it is immoral. It appears that the president of Chick-fil- A, Dan Cathy, thinks that it is decadent. After making his position about the topic public on a radio talk interview by stating, “we’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. And I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude that thinks we have the audacity to redefine what marriage is all about,” and revealing that the popular food chain has donated millions of dollars to anti- gay groups, many of his customers had quick reactions. Customers with the same opinion as him lined up nationwide to buy their food. However, those with opposing views on the subject stood outside not because they were waiting in line to buy the notorious sandwich, but to protest against the discrimination they undergo because of the fact they are homosexual.
Discriminating somebody because of their sexual preference is inhumane in my eyes. Its basically going back to segregation years, if you where black the whites looked down on you, the only difference is that this has now become intraracial. For instance, if you are homosexual white, heterosexual whites put you aside as if homosexuality were contagious. Do you think it is contagious? Are we really better than them or are we all the same? These are the million dollar questions that go around the world. The answer to those questions we might never find out!
