    So I had someone tell me that since I'm bi I'm going to hell cause being gay, lesbian, or bi is against god. They went on to say that the people who are gay, lesbian, or bi choose to be that way. I'm so fucking sick of people saying dumb shit like that, it makes them seem so evil and stupid to me. If you're saying we choose to be that way that means you woke up one day and said "you know what I'm choosing to not be gay", how the fuck does that make any sense!? Trust me none chooses to be that way it's just the way you are, why would you choose to be one of the most hated and looked down upon people around!? Sorry is this offends or makes some people mad, but really I don't care I feel it's important to see this. If gay means happy why the fuck won't people let the gay, lesbian, and bi people be happy!? This world is full of so many hateful stupid people who don't even understand what a struggle it is to be that way. There's been many times I wished I wasn't bi, cause I been beaten down for it for whole life. You know what now I'm happy to say I'm bi and anyone who has an issue with gay, lesbian, or bi people can kiss my ass! I'm done now I just really needed to say that.

@optimistic*pessimist I totally agree and I am very happy the way I am

@Hey, I'm Sam :) See and that was my thing too! It's like who the hell are you to say something like that to anyone. There is a very special place reserved in hell for people like that. So many people believe that though cause of these dumb ass preachers in some churches, telling everyone it's bad and against god. I agree with that 100% why can't everyone in this country have equal rights!?

Be proud of who you are. Anyone who tells anyone else that they aren't allowed their "promised peace and happiness" after they die deserve to go to hell themselves. Not trying to be offensive, but overly religious people who actually believe shit like that are just intolerant asses who don't realize that our world is changing. I have two gay people in my family and I am 100% accepting of them and anyone else who lives that lifestyle. They deserve the same respect as a "normal" person.

screw those people, they don't know what they're talking about. they don't know what it's like, therefore they should shut up. you should be happy to be bi, and anyone who thinks otherwise is bitch.

@bethwasbornforthis Yeah I don't let people get away with bashing me anymore at all. Wow thanks for saying that, it means so much to know I can impact someone like that. I owe my life to my music it's got me through a lot of stuff. I was only 17 when I left to move to New York, and it was a very difficult time for me at first. I left everything behind to do what I've always dreamed of doing. I'm not even close to where I want to be, but I'm getting there slowly.

You should never of hated yourself. You should of been proud to be who you are, if thats who you are, fuck everyone else!
The world is full of ignorant people, always will be. but theres always gonna be some people that are really accepting, and nice people. i'm glad your proud to be you now! Trust me, if i had your taent i wouldn't let someone bashing me about because i was bi hold me down at all! Your the sort of person who really makes my, and i'm sure other peoples day. You've overcome all of this, you moved out at a really young age to persue something you loved.

its is againest the catholic rights which i totally disagree with. some of the best people i have meet in my life are gay, lesbian or bi and i am so thamkfull to have meet these people coz they are the bestest people i could have ever meet and i love them all

@Rachel Burry Yep that is one of the 10 commandments "Love thyself and thy neighbor". I know why do people have to keep fighting for equal rights just cause they're different or born a curtain way.

@greencereal I agree with that, but also I think if you're a homophobe in any time period it''s wrong. It's wrong to hate, but it's never wrong to love.

For whoever told you you were going to hell for being bi, that's not true. The only way you can go to hell is denying God and not accepting him as your Savior. There are so many bi/gay/lesbian Christians, and God forgives them and loves them. I know that for a fact. And even if you aren't Christian, God loves you also. And I'm a Christian, I have nothing against bi/gay/lesbian people. I don't fully understand it, but that doesn't mean I should hate on people who do. I know you have your reasons for being the way you are, and I hope that you can find peace with yourself and others and get through this and come out on the other side happy! :)

greencereal's picture

i mean its the 21st century. if your a homophobe, you were born into the wrong time period

Rachel Fabuleux's picture

exactly. Hey, isn't that one of the 10 commandments? lol.

I mean, first women fought for rights, the african americans. Now gays. People say that it's "different", but I'm sure that's what everyone else said 50 years ago too!!! Argh!!!!!!!!

Zander Star's picture

@Rachel Burry That's one of my main issues too, if the bible does say that then the bible is bullshit. The god I believe in loves no matter what or who the person is.

greencereal's picture

@Rachel idk what the deal is but people need to get over it! haha

Rachel Fabuleux's picture

Yeah! Why is it unbiblical to love someone??? What's the big deal?

Zander Star's picture

@greencereal Exactly I agree with everything you said! Love is love no matter who you love, it shouldn't matter it's all love.

i'm straight but it makes me really mad to see how ignorant people are and how they think that being gay is a crime. like my sister has this gay friend nathan, and her boyfriend (now her ex) hated nathan and was homophobic. hearing people stand up for gays/lesbians/bis is really good and i would like to cheerfully beat all those people who are so closed minded that they have to hate on people who think differently than they do. like my friend xochitl was like "yeah my friend lacey's a lesbian" and someone was like "why do you still hang out with them then? don't you think its weird that they might...LIKE you or something?" and its people that are horrible enough to tear down gay rights that should go to hell (if hell does exist) and not the people who are suffering

@Stephanie H. With me all my friends know and my family knows, but with family it's like something they never talk about. Everyone I have in my life pretty much supports me except my dad and stepmom cause they're hardcore Christians who believe it's a choice and all that shit. SO I never really talk to them and I'm fine with that. The world is full of ignorant close minded assholes that thrive off bringing other people down. I just don't let it bring me down I channel it into my writing. It brings me so much joy for you to say this means a lot to people! That's the whole reason why I write is too help myself and others, and I hope to one day spread this message to everyone I can.

I'm so glad someone is talking about this.this is something I like to hear about.I'm bi and well I told my friends last year. At first they were kinda wierd about it but now that completely support me. I tell one of friends about all the support I have and it makes her feel kind of bad. She's bi too and most of her friends don't support her. They actually told her they would never talk to her again. That really breaks my heart to hear that after years of freindship would be ruined all because of who she happens to like. Really sucks how some people don't get it. They don't see the other side of the stories. And they have no idea how hurtfull or destructive thier words could be. Somebody told me that I was going to he'll because I was bi and I didn't really think much of it. But ignorance is something destructive...
Happy you took the time to talk about this. It actually means alot to alot of people :)

@fernando5405 I do ignore it I never say anything to people when they say dumb shit like that I just get pissed off later on in the day. It actually works out great for me cause that experience gets used as material for my songwriting lol

fernando5405's picture

Yeah people are ass holes.
I have gay/bi friends and it pisses me of when people talk shit about their sexuality.
just ignore them and live your life(:

bethwasbornforthis's picture

i agree with ?innocent sorrow?_??chibie??, takes some guts to write this, and put your lyrics up on the internet ready to be ridiculed. of course none of us paramore fans are like that, but still. i'll be looking forward to your next song up on here! :D

Zander Star's picture

@?innocent sorrow?_??chibie?? Thanks that's really nice of you to say that! I'll never stop writing that's my therapy, I'd go crazy and many people would be "missing" if I couldn't write lol I'm working on 3 right now that are almost done.
