savage garden. and homosexuality.
savage garden. the band? oh nevermind.
the duo's songs are phenomenal. i may not own any of their albums, but repeated listenings to their signature hits really gave me the impression that they would be great. one where you can listen to endlessly without getting bored. i must get my hands on their greatest hits album!
i found it a bit disturbing when i read this comment under one of their music vids on youtube where the person said he/she(*most* probably a he) couldnt bear listening to their songs anymore after he/she found out that he was gay. what bullshit is that? you listen to their songs, you're their biggest fan... and all that is *poof!* gone just like that after you find out he's queer.
some people are just so... so... irrational. that comment is just one of the many homophobic comments on youtube. it's just not right. for example, chris crocker, whose video "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" garnered millions of hits and thousands of comments within hours of its uploading, had many people log on to youtube just to voice their homophobic opinion on how he - and generally all gays - should die: AIDS, a hit-and-run, a bullet to the head, even a jackhammer to the throat. unacceptable.
people, know this: i am absolutely against the prejudice, discrimination and violence against gay and lesbian people. so dont come to me, ranting about how much you hate homosexuals, about how much you want to beat them up; dont even mention the word 'fagg*t' to me. think about it. isnt it a bit unreasonable and ignorant for people to whine and complain about homosexuals, when they should be concerned about more important issues, namely child abuse, unneeded violence and your brother/sister's uncanny resemblance to the devil/satan/some evil-looking alternate-dimensional creature? it's a bit silly for folks to devote so much of themselves when it comes to the issue of homosexuality.
just leave them be. there is SO much more to a person than their sexual orientation. in fact, most homosexuals have more likeable characteristics and better personalities than those that many deem having the 'correct' sexual orientation. so, dont tell me you'd judge someone just based on their sexuality. they deserve as much respect as you and me. they deserve to live as much as you and me. they deserve everything we deserve. why's it so hard to accept that?
oh. ohhhhh. lemme guess, religion. let me just say this, if god never, in his eternity spent 'up' there, wanted homosexuals to exist, he would have killed them off already. in such circumstances, you'd have woken up one day to the headlines, "ELLEN DEGENERES, MILLIONS DIE MYSTERIOUSLY". but since that has yet to happen, i would like to conclude that god loves everyone unconditionally. and that's a fact, so shut the efff up.
