I spotted this on the side of my page where I have put a reel of YouTube videos concerning a range of tags, including filmmaking and homosexuality. For right now, in terms of way of life and moral issues, I am pretty passionate about both.

I caught a short film about homosexuality (which was ok, from another filmmaker's POV) and it led me to carefully inspect the line of videos there. You shold to. They're pretty interesting. I found another one:



He's funny. What I like about his speech is the way he spoke. Very matter-of-factly, which it was. If it were me, I'd have been trying to control my agitation at trying to get what I wsa feeling out so people could understand. He did his research too, and spoke very simply of them, so that even the people who oppose can understand.

Then I followed the thread and came up with this. And I thought The West Wing was boring. I loved the scene he made!



I found many other interesting ones that I haven't even watched yet but are waiting in my playlist. It consists of arguments for and against homosexuality. I want to understand the views from the opposite side. Sometimes, I can understand them. I mean that in a general debate, not one about homosexuality. For that, no one has yet given me an acceptable argument.

It puzzles me how people can hate others so strongly, not even people, a mere concept, which they don't even know about, and they have no reason to hate, with substantial argument to place against it.

Even to that concept, I can realize, that people just love to hate.

See, I can see sense in something I don't agree with. Can't everybody else?

I agree totally with the point John Corvino made with people hating people for loving.

That notion itself is bloody damn idiotic. I like the one about religion too, how he used religion to his advantage without directly insulting the bible. I do't mind saying that sometimes I lie awake and ponder about why people hate people for who they love. (I did that a couple of days after I saw the headlines on the newspaper about making it illegal for PDA between same-sex couples is still banned because 7/10 of the people still 'frown upon' it.) And I come up with the whole debate. I have always struggled with the religion part. But those concern my views on religion, which I will maybe talk about in the next post. But it will be pretty complicated because... I'll not spoil it.

Why they don't consent same-sex marraige yet I can understand, because a government does what the majority wants in a democracy. But if the leaders themselves are doing it for selfish reasons - leaders, in such cases, should not ahve any discrimination already, and if they do, should discredit them - then that is unacceptable.

I go back to the article I mentioned earlier. How many people did they survey? I never trust such surveys. That group of hundred or how many could have contained the most anti-gay people then the hundred beside them. You base our country and the happiness of people on that?

Here's something else I found funny.



I didn't even last the whole way through the video. I understand his loyalty to his ancestors but if they can't know them, you can't know them. Take in mind, we are discussing morals of people a thousand years dead whom we will never meet.

I'm Chinese. I know how the thinking of Asians, especially, can bring people up hating and fearing these things. My father and mother hate it. I don't.

And using laws that you don't even bother to think about except when you want to kill somebody for loving someone isn't helping much.

I have lots more to say. But I've exhuasted everybody, including myself.
