Activism

Why do people think they can change such important issues such as gay rights and abortion?

There are rallies, protests, and hate crimes commited because of these events. They stand on street corners holding up signs with pictures of dead babies and men kissing with an X. What does that prove? They are just shouting their own opinions to themselves.

America was raised under the beliefs that we have the freedom to express ourselves. That's the reason why immigrants want to come to this country. That's surely why my ancestors chose to come here. It promotes freedom and individuality. Everyone has brought over their own beliefs and values to America. What makes you think scolding them will suddenly turn gay men straight or turn everyone into pro-life fanatics. Only the strong minded stick to their beliefs. It's the dumb blondes, made from plastic while carrying a dog in her purse, whom are dumb enough to convert. And they most certainly have several more important issues to worry about... such as what outfit they should expose to the public, or even what color hair they should have next.

I just don't understand the point of rallies. It's just bringing opinions out into the open. And that's great. I don't have a problem if you think my views on religion are wrong. Really, I don't. Please, go worship your God. But don't tell me who I should worship. I have my agnostic rights just as the Catholics do gathering up their followers to church.

So, don't tell me what to believe, I'll just cover my ears.
