Recently the site godhatesfags.com has been brought to my attention by Jimmy Elliot, the founder of HOW. I had heard of some of the things that they do but I had not seen the site itself. I went to the website and nothing would come up so I decided to do some heavy duty research. I expected certain things but in no way did I expect what I found. It kills me, just rots me to the core to read about the type of things these human beings are doing. I began to literally shake with anger, tears rolling down my face as I read, "The group came into the national spotlight in 1998, when they were featured on CNN for picketing the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a young man from Wyoming who was beaten to death by two men because of his homosexuality. Westboro has protested at the funerals of people ranging from Fred Rogers to Coretta Scott King to Jerry Falwell." I do believe that every individual has the right to speak about what they believe in but this, this is carrying it away, way away. Disrespectful, hateful, and just plain mortifying. They have children wearing T-shirts that read "God hates fags" children holding signs that read "Death penalty for fags." Small, innocent children who do not yet know any different and are forced under the thumb of these inhumane protests, etc. This honestly makes me sick to my stomach, it makes me question humanity in all. Is this what we are becoming? Are we going to let this be who we are? Or are we going to step up and make the change? We are going to be the voice for Matthew Shepard, we are going to be the voice for those who were not able to have one. It is not wrong to love someone of the same sex, it does not make you ill and it does not in any way make you any less valuable than anyone else in this world. You are beautiful, there's nothing wrong with you, you are you and I'm happy that you are. I love you for you, don't hide who you are, it's not worth it. Life is way too short. If at this moment you feel scared and alone and afraid I want to recommend that you tell someone. You don't have to if you're not comfortable but it would be a good thing. Open people's eyes to the fact that homosexuals are not bad they are human. Nothing is wrong with loving someone who is the same sex, NOTHING. God loves everyone. God does not hate someone because they love.
