Why being gay is most likely in genetics and not a choice

To continue with gay pride month, I have decided to talk about why being gay is not a choice. I will explain why it is not a choice.

Originally I was also going to put in why being gay is not a sin as well, but I will save that for another post. (Sometimes I am just too busy with work, things I want to do, procrastinating and looking at pictures of turtles on the net.)

Being gay is NOT a choice: The following are the reasons why it is not a choice!

○ If being gay was a choice, then why would people allow themselves to get kicked out of their houses by their parents for being gay? 

• If being gay is a choice, then why would anyone allow themselves to get bullied, harassed, fired from a job, and EVEN BEATEN TO DEATH for being gay? (Ref: Matthew Sheppard).

¤ Why would someone choose to be discriminated, bullied, shamed, kicked out of their house and just HATED by hundreds of people just for being gay?

♥ If being gay was a choice, gay people, nor gay marriage would really exist, because people would just end up with opposite sex partners. The only way someone would think that you could be attracted to the same sex, is if it was someone's inner feelings. (I'm a gay male, and I legit didn't even know you could be gay, like until I was around 15. The same happened to my friend.)

♠ If being gay was a choice, then there wouldn't be anyone fighting for gay rights. There wouldn't be a reason to fight for something if it wasn't real.

♦ If a straight person were to choose to be gay, it would not be possible. You can not force yourself to actually be sexually attracted to someone if you're not attracted to their gender! If you try to become sexually aroused by a gender you're not attracted to, it will not work, you cannot change your sexuality, there is no way to force your body to be attracted to someone you're not attracted to... it just won't work!

If being gay was a choice, no one would choose it. Why would someone choose to be something, that people hate? That people get fired from their jobs for, or kicked out of their houses? No one would actively choose something, that will have people hate on them, beat them, or say nasty things to them.

Being gay is not a choice and It makes no sense whatsoever as to why someone would think this, no one wakes up in the morning and goes "Today, I'm going to be gay and everyone's going to hate on me, call me nasty words and try to kill me today! Oh what fun!"

Last but not least, there is a recent study about how being gay is actually 40% genetic! Maybe not completely genetic, but almost half way there!  Here are two links about the same study.. "Here" and [Here]
I also found some more links on non gay websites The Gaurdian. Washington Post, LGBTQ Nation
Also some interesting articles on the Huffington Post.  Gay gene paradox,

It's not a choice because it is also how we were made, our genetics created us this way!

Being gay is not a choice, and I know that from experience. When I as growing up, I didn't really have a sexuality, I was just me. Someone who loved video games, anime and anything fantasy.
But as I got older, I automatically assumed I was into women,  because that's what everyone else was into, the opposite gender. I figured that was what I was into just because it's the only thing I knew. (This is why representation in the media MATTERS. SO WE KNOW WE EXIST, AND THAT WE'RE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Straight people who cry over a gay character being in the last two minutes of a show, can shove it so far, they can't poop for a week!)
As much as I tried to like women, it just didn't work. I had no sexual feelings for them at all...
I did have sexual feelings, but for men! At first I didn't like the idea that I was only into the same gender, I for some reason thought it was better to be bisexual. Which I thought I was for a while, despite not being attracted to the opposite sex. Eventually, I knew was only attracted to men and I denied it for a year or so.
The last thing I wanted to be was gay, but eventually life caught up to me, and I finally understood and figured what I was. It took a while for me to get used to it, I hated that I was gay for a few months.
I knew it wasn't a choice, because if it was, I would have easily chosen to be straight! I would have easily been able to be attracted to the opposite gender, but I couldn't, because it is simply impossible to force yourself to be sexually aroused and attracted to a gender you're not attracted to.

My friend Chaco wrote a little snippet 3 years ago...

"The thing is, a lot of people don't realize being gay is the same as being born with Blue Eyes or a tight butt or like having interest in electronics from an early age. Like, enjoying to drink milk when you're only 2.
Basically, it happens WHEN YOU'RE BORN. It's NOT a choice! No one can choose their sexual orientation, it's something we are given by birth."

"The thing is, a lot of people don't realize being gay, is the same as being born with blue eyes, a tight butt, having an interest in electronics at an early age, or enjoying milk when you're only 2. Basically, it happens WHEN YOU'RE BORN, it's NOT a choice! No one can choose their sexual orientation, it's something we are given by birth." 

You know what is a choice though? Religion!

Also check out this video.

I do think that sometimes the environment that someone is in can direct someone's sexuality at times though, but rarely.

I do not want to appear as contradicting! However, I do think there are three kinds of gay people...

• Actual people who like the same sex and were born that way.
• People who were traumatized by someone at an early age, that caused the person to become gay. (This has happened to someone before, where they were mentally and physically abused by women.. that it somehow affected them. I've only heard of this happening once.)
• People who are faking it due to the lack of attention from the opposite sex, and therefore "Turn straight". These are the only fake gays and aren't actually attracted to the same sex, they only do it because they just cannot get a date, or they just crave attention.

Chaco, actually had an incident where one of his friends believed that being gay was a choice. It turned out that she had a crush on him, and just didn't want his sexuality to be true, she wanted him to be straight because she liked him!

She ended up dating his step brother by coincidence.

I think people who say being gay is a choice are actually bisexual. Because for them, it's not a choice to be attracted to either gender, but it is a choice for someone to only seek out members of a specific sex because they believe it's wrong to like the same gender.

I honestly cannot stand people who actually think being gay is a choice, I KNOW I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BE GAY, if it was a choice, I would have chosen to be straight! I didn't even know you could be attracted to the same gender in the first place, let alone somehow have an ability to choose what gender to be attracted to. People who think being gay is a choice, are delusional, and need to look into the skeletons in their closet.

Just because you can't understand something, doesn't mean it's wrong.

My friend Victor is bisexual, and he has his own opinion, he of course does not believe being gay is a choice, but he believes that it is not genetic either. This is what he said..

"Being gay is neither a choice, or a genetic disorder. It is in fact a physical, or mental attraction to the same sex. While it is true that most homosexuals have certain traits.

Very small and very exact, however the human body will respond to almost all types of stimuli if touched erotically especially in certain erogenous areas of the body (read up on certain sexual abuse situation and how others try expound on the victims arousal) however it is the mind that tells us off attraction. You should know that attraction is caused by pheromones we put out, and how others respond to these pheromones. So a homosexual is really just responding to these pheromones that males produce instead of a females. Also one cannot count religion in any argument via that there are other religions and in ancient times homosexuality was more common than weather shifts. But I digress.

While there are heterosexuals that have at times chose live the heterosexual lifestyle that does not include the entire gay population. For instance a female that will engage in homoerotic contact with another female for her significant others viewing pleasure, or for another males attention or even male and female actors in the adult industry that perform homosexual sex as part of their job.

Also the whole gay gene isn't what people mean by born gay, but if you want to say there might be, than bring up the fact that most homosexuals have certain physical features that seem to match and coincide with other homosexuals, and no not that horrible lisp dear god, but certain eye-shape, body type, both tiny and big, its not exact but pretty close. So remember attraction is caused by pheromones, and how we respond, things like homosexuality and heterosexuality is actually all about your nature vs nurture, because before we did gender-base and sexualize most societies were very sexually open. Well except when it came to children that was non negotiable as I understand. The old native Americans called it two soul, a person born with the soul or spirit of a man and woman in one body when it came to homosexuality. When it changed I have no idea."

I'd like to make an UPDATE! As of 6/28/2014.
I always post my blog posts on facebook, and one of my facebook friends saw the post and commented on it. They believe being gay is a choice, and I felt the need to add this part to the post to better clarify any unresolved issues.

When people say being gay is a choice, I feel attacked to an extent. Because basically what the other person is saying is that I am lying. Like what I feel on the inside towards the same gender, is some sort of lie. Like I am making up my sexual attraction towards men. It is not a choice, I did not choose this. But saying that it is a choice is like saying that I am lying to everyone that I know, like what I really feel on the inside is fake. As if it's all made up, that how I truly feel on the inside is just some lie that I made up and tell people. Well, let me tell you.. IT'S NOT! I have no feelings for women at all! Women are people to me, that's it. But when I see a cute guy, I get a fuzzy feeling inside of me, and I want to get to know him, I want to fall in love with him.. and that only happens with men. I can't choose to be attracted to men, if I were to choose, ANYONE could feel a fuzzy feeling for anyone!! Plain, and Simple.
Another thing though... OBVIOUSLY I DO NOT HAVE FREE WILL TO CHOOSE WHICH GENDER I AM ATTRACTED TO, OR THIS GOD DAMN BLOG POST WOULDN'T EXIST IN THE FIRST DAMN PLACE!!! Why would I make a post about the gay gene, or being gay not being a choice, if I thought it was a choice? I made the blog post so confused, Curious, Ignorant, close minded individuals would understand that gay people aren't making shit up. Why the hell are we going to go through all of this suffering from bigots, and haters if we could just choose to like the opposite sex? People get harassed, and beaten for being gay. If they could choose, they'd choose to be straight, and they wouldn't get harassed anymore. I don't get why it's such a hard concept to grasp?

The only lie I ever told was forcing myself to be attracted to women! I chose to be straight at first because that's what everyone else is attracted to! Being straight was the only thing that I chose, but only for a while. I thought I was attracted to women. I sure as hell didn't choose to be gay, but one time I chose to be straight, and guess what sugar lumps, it didn't work. Because baby I was born this way,  I KNOW that I was born this way because I NEVER chose anything in my life that I like. I never chose my favorite color, or my favorite flavor of ice cream, my favorite video game. If anything, they all chose me, my attraction to men I did not choose, and I didn't want to be gay when I started having feelings for men in the first place, so I would obviously be straight if it was a choice. Being gay, straight, bi ..etc.. it's just like being attracted to certain members of the gender you like.. you aren't attracted to all of them, you're attracted to some of them.. but you NEVER choose which people you are attracted to, and that's just what it is like.

Anime Review: Himitsu the Revelation

Himitsu the Revelation, also known as "Himitsu - Top Secret" is a mystery, sci fi and psychological anime that was made in 2008.

It takes place 50 years in the future, and stars a guy named "Aoki". Who has just gotten a new job in the government called Section 9.

The division is equipped with a machine that is able to look at the memories of the dearly departed, they use this machine to find the killer through the victims eyes. The only catch is that they have 48 hours to do so, this is because, after the 48 hour mark, the brain just stops working completely, and no one can read from it anymore.

It took me a while to get into Himitsu, at first I wasn't that thrilled about it and didn't have much of an urge to watch it. I have a schedule for myself, I watch a certain anime on a certain day, Himitsu is my current Monday anime. Sometimes I just did not want to watch it, I just wasn't getting into it as much.

But once I got the biggest urge to watch it back to back, that was when I really got into it. I probably watched 8 episodes in the proximity of 4 days.
The thing with this anime is that it's slow in the beginning, and there are lot's of characters introduced from the start. For me, it was a guessing game on who is who, and the only people I knew from the start was Aoki, the director Maki and the main female character Amachi. The other characters took me a while to figure out who they were, and what their names were. There's only one other girl character, so that's obviously not difficult. However,  there are three other male characters that don't always get to be in the spotlight,  and I thought two of them were the same person for a while! lol (They have like the same colored suit). The other one looks like a movie star if you ask me, and if you watch the anime, you'll know who I am talking about!

Or, just watch the intro theme!

The intro, unfortunately I couldn't find one with english subtitles.

The original reason for getting into this anime, was for the fact that it looks kind of like a yaoi. I know that was one of my reasons; but also because I like to delve into mystery anime every now and again.

It's not a yaoi, but there are certain parts that seem yaoi-ish.. such as the ending theme...

But there's also the fact that Aoki reminds Maki of his deceased best friend, and automatically cares about him greatly from the start. They actually cover the story about Maki's best friend and that episode seemed a bit yaoi to me.

Unfortunately for any yaoi fan, it's not a yaoi anime.. but anyone can dream right?

The anime is a mystery, and they really get creative as the episodes go on. Some episodes, the victim never saw the killer, and the team has to figure out if there is any connection to the killer in the dead persons memories. There is even an episode where the killer is seen in the victim's eyes, but the brain of the deceased is in a remote location and they can't get the brain out of the area because everything bad that could happen, happens!

The show has no problem having episodes with homosexual characters, which I find interesting. In one of the early episodes, there is a victim who they find out had homosexual feelings for another man. 

In the middle of the series, there is a murder that takes place because two women wanted to be together.

Although Japan is behind the times when it comes to LGBT characters, the group at Himitsu had no problem putting some in here and there. As I write this, I am only on episode 16, so I have no idea what they do next. So maybe my yaoi hopes come true! Although I will most likely hold onto this review until I finish it, so my hopes could be shattered of Aoki and Maki having a thing for each other.

You have to be warned however, as some of the episodes do get a little bit graphic, some of them are filled with gore, especially one episode where they find out about a serial killer who skinned his victims alive. But other than that, it doesn't get too crazy. If you've ever seen Law & Order, or CSI and can handle those shows, then you should be fine.

++++Vague Spoilers+++ 

There are plenty of twists and turns in the show, one of the main characters actually dies! Which I was upset about because I read on a review that one of them dies, and then I was on wikipedia and I was just looking at the episodes and it says who dies, so even though I am on episode 16, I know who dies, and I am annoyed about that because I wanted to be surprised and shocked! I was also playing a guessing game on who it could be. So if you DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED!! Don't look at any of the episodes that you aren't on or haven't finished already.

+++Vague Spoilers end here+++

One of the things I think is cool, is that they actually add some Supernatural aspects into the show. Notthing too crazy, like Supernatural monsters shooting fireballs. I mean Supernatural elements that are in the real world, you know like psychic powers. Amachi, is a psychic and there are parts in the anime where she is able to find out something because of her powers, she was even able to talk to the victim of the episode in order to find something out.

There is one thing that has been bugging me though, it has nothing to do with the anime itself. BUT! Episodes 14-15 on any subtitle site have been very hard to watch because the animation and the voices aren't matching, and I don't know why that has happened. It would actually be really easy to fix, as all you have to do is go on a video editing program, and make a copy of the sound and video, match them up, and then re-add the subtitles. But for those episodes, the voices and subtitles are talking about one thing when the scene is completely different.

For example, in episode 15, there is a scene where Maki is talking to a robber. While he is talking, and the subtitles are appearing at the bottom, the scene is of Aoki, and Amachi riding around in a car in the city.

Both episodes are about 1 minute behind when it comes to the voices and subtitles, and it was very hard to watch and figure out what was going on with it like that. 

Overall, I think Himitsu is a little bit rocky, but it's a good anime once you get into it. If you like Mystery anime, you'll definitely like Himitsu! The music is very calm and collected, it's very nice and fitting for the anime.

Here's the ending theme with the yaoi-ish pictures!

My top 12 Suikoden series town themes

The following are my favorite town themes in the Suikoden series. They are in no particular order, except for the first two songs.

The first is Rock Rockland from the first game, this is one of my all time favorite songs. It plays in a few towns in the beginning of the game. It first appears when entering the town of Rockland, but also plays in two other towns Lenankamp, and Sarady. There was even an official remix made of this song, and it's AWESOME.

The second is called "Scenery By the Windmills", it plays in the town of "Estrise", and is also my favorite town theme of the Suikoden series and appears in the fifth game.

The rest do not follow any order, but I made sure to get a song from every game, except for Suikoden Tumugareshi, as I have not played that one, and I don't know the town themes.

The next one is "People of Great Pride" from the first Suikoden. It's the theme that plays when you go to the town of the dwarf people, I find that this theme, is just very powerful, and just walking around the town with this theme on is just simply magical.

The next theme is in continuation of the previous theme, in Suikoden V we get to see dwarves again and the town has a great theme just as in the first game. The title is "The People Underground".

Let's move on to a theme from the fourth game, the town is called Middleport and it is my favorite town in the game, and it has a nice theme too. Since Suikoden IV takes place on a bunch of islands, it has a water theme to it. The theme is called "Orange colored Scenery", even though the entire town is made out of stone and is gray.

The next song is a song that took me forever to like.  I mean forever.. I first played Suikoden II, when I was 9, and I only recently started to like this song when I was 23! lol.
It's from the town called South Window, the song is called "Nahala Yam Koong", it's different, but it's awesome!

Following Suikoden II, we have the hero's home town. Kyaro, the theme is called "Homesickness". It's a very powerful song if you have played through the whole game, but even if you haven't, I am sure it's still very powerful anyways.

We're now going to go to city type themes, and start off with the theme from the first game, the home town of the hero Tir Greminster. The song is titled "Beautiful Golden City".

The next one is from the third game, and plays when in the town of "Vinay Del Zexay".

The next is a two-parter, as they are both from Suikoden V. They play back to back in the same town, one song plays when you're in the castle, and the second song plays when you're in the town.

The first is "Imperial Capital".

The second is "Power like the Sun".

The last song is from Suikoden Tierkreis, and it is actually similar to the two Suikoden V songs above. It's when in the town of Janamu Sorcery.

 And that is my list of the top 12 Suikoden town themes!

My first psychic experience and some terminology

So, this post will be all about the psychic realm, the universe, some terminology and some of my first psychic experiences! I will make a separate post about other experiences in a later time...

If you haven't already, check out a previous post about Psychic Vampirism, check that link out now!

Since then, I've found out I may not be a Psychic Vampire, as they tend to be dark people. I am anything but! I believe I am in fact, an Empath. Which is someone who takes on someone else's emotions, and feelings. An Empath can feel, what the other person feels. Which is evident in this post I made about being an Emotional Sponge, as well as the psychic vampirism post. I wasn't taking anything, I was feeling them.

Let me explain, what happened back in December.. 

Storm Quartz Crystal Pendulum

It was my friend Donna's birthday, and we got together with her, her friend Maria and our mutual friend Victor. We hung out for her birthday, and decided to hang out again at Victor's house a day, or two later. Victor was curious about me, as he did a psychic/personality test on me, and Maria. After the test, he somehow drained Maria of her energy. But not me, somehow I blocked him from getting to me psychically. Victor is a Psychic Vampire, and Psychic Vampires can drain people of their spiritual energy, they can do this either subconsciously, or consciously. The effects can make someone feel weak. This is how he came to the conclusion that I was a "psychic vampire", because apparently only Vampires are able to block from other vampires
.

Fast forward to Victor's house, and the three are all ready to do something called "Opening my Chakra's". This involved me laying down on the floor. At one point, Maria said she saw a rainbow over me, I replied with "Well Obviously". Victor laughed, and said "Ha! Gay joke!".
 

I laid down on the floor, and I was told to imagine certain things. I don't remember that part too well, but it was longer than expected because I was very skeptical, so because I didn't believe, I just kind of goofed off half of the time.

Let me tell you, I didn't believe in any of this stuff at first. I am a scientific, and skeptical person, I need facts, and proof for anything for me to believe in. 
 

I was able to open my "chakra's", and nothing was really that different, it was mentioned that energy was everywhere. Donna said that there were ghosts everywhere around the room, gathering around. Victor had been chanting to help me open my chakra's, and I guess that summoned some ghosts and angels.

But, what happened next was straight from a horror movie! Let me explain to you one thing that made this happen...
I had bought a crystal pendulum the previous year, because Donna had shown me hers, and I wanted my own. So far, Pendulums are the only proof that I believe shows that there is some sort of magical force involved.

You have to hold the pendulum by the tip of the chain, and hold it over your hand. It will start to hover, and you can ask it questions. First, you ask which way is yes, and which was is no. This can vary depending on the crystal, or the person. For me, yes and no is usually clockwise, and counterclockwise. Other people, it can be if the crystal moves back and forth. Since I am skeptical, I was trying to figure out ways to move the pendulum on purpose. But every time I did, it was noticeably different from when I wasn't trying to move it.

What the pendulums do, is they use your energy to move themselves, giving you an answer. 
 

Crystals such as Storm Quartz or Amethyst have their own energy and their own powers, Amethyst for example can protect you from psychic attacks.

The pendulum that I had bought was very attracted to Victor, Donna said that the crystal wanted him, and that I would have to give him the crystal. It could be now, or later. She wanted me to get a new crystal first, but I decided to let Victor have the crystal right away. 

This was when things got very weird...

Victor legitimately starting having some sort of orgy with the crystal.Victor went into a trance, and he was rubbing the crystal over his body, and even putting the crystal in his mouth... it was very weird...but... it gets even weirder.

Eventually, something else happened, and Victor fainted. He came back from being passed out, but he wasn't himself. He got on all fours, and started to growl. He then sat up, and started pointing at me. He wanted me to come to him. At first I was going to, but Donna said not to. He kept moving his finger and started talking, he said he was missing something... Maria was trying to exorcise whatever it was inside of Victor, but Donna told her not to. This "entity" wanted something that was taken from it, but we didn't know anything about it. Eventually, the entity left, and Victor fainted once more. He eventually came to, and was like "I'm sorry, I keep falling asleep!", Donna told him, he was not asleep! He scared all three of us!

I know for certain, that was NOT my friend.
That was something else...

After Victor was Victor again, he told us that he had made a pact with a wind god, this allows the wind god to trance into his body if he calls for him.
We told him that the wind god was saying he was missing something, Victor knew what it was.
Victor did a love spell with some of his other friends, they used actual blood, hair and other disturbing things in the mix. Even though Victor was not using the spell for his own benefit, he was just there, it still affected him.

As, there was a guy that he likes whom is straight, and all of a sudden the guy is telling Victor he should move in with him, and all of this other stuff that never happened before.
Doing the spell took away a part of Victor's soul, and that is what the Wind god was talking about, he wants Victor's soul back!

Afterwards, I wasn't very skeptical anymore about the psychic realm. I knew that wasn't my friend who was asking me to come closer, or when he growled, and told us he was missing something. It was straight out of a horror movie!
At first, I was scared about everything, it was just a whole lot of info that was taken in and just freaked me out.

After this event, not only did I experience things more often than I usually would, but I also noticed things that happened to me in the past that were linked to psychic powers.

First off, I've experienced Deja Vu much more frequently than I used to, it even became a thing where I was able to actually know what was going to happen, before it did. Which would lead me to making a different choice, or knowing something off the bat.

There is, in my opinion, two versions of Deja Vu. The Deja Vu that has a scientific explanation where your brain just has a brain fart, and just makes you feel like you've seen a certain scene before, but really haven't.
But then, there is the real Deja Vu, where you really have seen it all before. Real Deja Vu happens when you're asleep, this is when you see it the first time, and when it actually happens, you're able to configure what is going to happen before it actually happens. Whenever I have real Deja Vu, I have a certain feeling to it, and the Deja Vu experienced is longer,like what I see is a few seconds, where scientific deja vu, I believe you only recall for a second.

My Deja Vu experience that I remember the best, was..... I was helping out co-workers back in April 2014, we were spying on this lady who shops frequently, and likes to change tickets on items so she can get a smaller price for something. So we were spying on her, and I was in the purse area. Then all of a sudden, I had Deja Vu, and it was kind of like That's so Raven. But.... not really.. like I remembered the event, and in the event I remembered, that I turned around and went "Hey, it's Krystina! In my head".
So, seconds later I turn around, and I see someone's back, and blonde hair. I knew it was Krystina, I just knew it. It wasn't because I know Krystina, she does change her hair sometimes. But I KNEW it was her without it being familiar with her persona, then she turned around, and it was her. I mean, it's not like she's the only blonde in the world anyway. But, I know I did not see her at all in the store, there is no way I knew she was in the store. I wasn't aware she was in the store until that moment. (Also, the purse section is in the front of the store.. so it's very possible she had just walked in.).

I also have an easier time remembering memories from days past, I remember things more often now, and I also see places in my head that I did not make up, which I believe are places I have seen in a past life.

Some of my psychic experiences that I had when I was younger are interesting too... 
 
When I was little, I knew that I had lived before, I just knew it. I would see these places in my head, like I do now, and I knew that was a connection.

I actually predicted my grandfather's death as well. He used to watch me after school, and one day I didn't want to go over to his house, because I thought he was going to die soon. Within the week I said that, he had died, and it always freaked my father out.

Terminology

Amethyst - Is a purple crystal, it's an important crystal for everyone to have, it is able to protect people from psychic attacks.

Crystals - Are stones that have their own properties. Some Crystals heal, and protect, each crystal has their own property. A Rose quartz helps with love, a Hematite takes away negative energy, while a Green Aventurine helps with luck and creativity.

Energy - Energy is basically one's own psychic power, we all have it. It's not necessarily seen, but felt.

Aura - Is energy that emits from the body, everyone has their own unique aura and our Aura's are of a certain color, which reflects on our mood, but also our personality.

Angels - This is interesting, as I've had one person tell me angels are people that are in the now, that are living, who's energy will help you. But another friend of mine, told me angels are people who are no longer alive, that help you.

Psychic Vampires - Are people who can drain other people's energy, subconsciously or consciously.

Empath - An Empath is someone who can feel other people's emotions, and feel what someone else is feeling. (Can you feel that now, Huh, MR KRABS?!)

Pendulum - Is a crystal that has been shaped, and put onto a chain. Pendulums come in all sorts of shapes, they come in the normal pointy shape, but also that of a sphere, and Merkaba Star. You ask it yes or no questions and it will rotate one way or another to tell you if it is true or not. You just have to ask the crystal which way is yes and which way is no.

Deja Vu - The feeling of seeing a scene, or a place before, without physically seeing it before.

Chakra - Are energy points in the body.

Those are just some things that I had experienced in the past and present... I'll make another

I'd like to make a shout out to the blog, as tomorrow will be a year since this blog was created! (June 13, 2013) I almost have 2,000 views on here! Let's make it that I reach 2,000 before July!

Why there is no straight pride

Since June is gay pride month, I am going to post two LGBTQIA posts this month! One today and the other one at the end of the month.
If you don't know what LGBTQIA means, just check out my earlier post. LGBTQIA terminology

This weeks post is about gay pride, and why there is no straight pride.

So, there are a few people I know on facebook that want straight pride, although one of them said they didn't really care. Oddly enough, another one that posted it, I thought he was bi, I guess things are different now.
I also used to know someone on formspring, who was always complaining about why there was no straight pride. At first I didn't understand why there wasn't straight pride either, but it wasn't until I found out why.
She was also pretty ignorant, she only liked gay people if they weren't a stereotype, and she didn't like gay men if they had a lisp, and only liked "Manly" ones. She was so ignorant, she didn't realize how ignorant she was! She also didn't like it when gay people "flaunt their sexuality", which doesn't really happen. She didn't like how gay people may hold hands in public, or kiss... Which by the way, straight people do all the time, and don't get hate on! Double standards much!? She basically didn't like feminine men or masculine women, she was only used to men being masculine, and women being feminine.

To get on with the topic...

Gay pride is about how far the LGBTQIA community has come, it's celebrating that we have survived all of this hate, discrimination and bigotry.
What people may not realize, is that if you aren't heterosexual, the world has a problem with you. Even though you were born the way you are, people hate you, they judge you, and try to change you.
People who are LGBTQIA are hated on by others for being different, abused, discriminated, attacked and even MURDERED for being who they are.

• You can get fired FROM YOUR JOB in some countries, or states just for being gay, transgendered... etc...
• You can be denied rights such as adoption, marriage... So you can't adopt a child even though you would be a suitable person to raise a child, and you can't marry the person you love.
• Some parents kick their children out of their house for being gay. (Meanwhile a parent is supposed to love their child unconditionally, not hate on them because of their beliefs, and/or ideals.)
• There are plenty of LGBTQIA people who have been MURDERED for being themselves.  (Look up "Matthew Shepard" on Bing, Google, Yahoo or whatever search engine the kids are using these days, to see one of the most well known hate crimes in history.)

As LGBTQIA people, we have to deal with a whole lot of hate, and intolerance. We're barely even acknowledged in the media, and in the real world (Wanna guess how many times people thought I was straight? Too many to count!)
We don't really exist in the world, because it's always about heterosexuals, and gender norms.
What gay pride is about, is about celebrating who we are as LGBTQIA people, and showing the world that we DO EXIST, and that we will fight until we are all equal! We're not hurting anyone, so why even have an issue with us in the first place? Why not mind your own business, and worry about yourself for once!

The minute straight people are getting attacked, intolerance, discrimination etc.. that is when we could have straight pride day. But the fact of the matter is, everyone accepts straight people, they aren't being abused by the world, and are accepted by society, so there is no need for a straight pride day. Just be lucky you don't have to worry about getting fired for being straight, or flat out attacked for your flaming heterosexuality!

Gay pride is like father's day or mother's day, we get a special day (or month) to celebrate how far we come. Every other day IS STRAIGHT PRIDE DAY.

I do however think that gay pride can get over the top, and we wouldn't need it in the first place if it was accepted from the start. (Which it was at some point.. if you do research, there are plenty of lgbtqia people in history. It was only until 100 years ago that people started having a problem with it, mainly when Christianity got more popular.)

Here are some other things in the media that talk about why straight pride is not a thing.

No "Straight pride"

Here's the biggest irony here, straight people complaining about pride, are the exact reason why we needed pride in the first place!! If straight people left lgbt people alone and didn't harass them for being different, than we wouldn't need a pride in the first place. Quite frankly, Straight people brought this upon themselves for being hateful.
