The past few days during the holidays have really made me think a lot about things.Life .It's a strange thing.It's something that we know is so fragile and yet,we take it for granted more often than not.

I was surfing myspace and one of this girl's myspace blog was talking about a movie.The movie really got my attention.You see,this movie was talking about a transgender who got murdered at the age of 17.She died in 2002.A transgender is someone who was born male but had a female mind.The movie states that all fetuses are naturally female and that the male chromosome is what makes a person male, but it's a weaker chromosome.(So I guess along the way there were some abnormalities.) Note that it is different than homosexuality.

Gwen (whose born name was Eddie) didn't choose to die.She was beaten to death by her "friends".She underwent torture for 5 hours.Imagine being kicked,punched,hit with a barbell.She was kicked in the head so hard,she left a dent in the wall.Imagine you went through that for 5 hours.Gwen was killed simply for the fact that people thought she was different.Gwen's life was taken away simply because this people believed she deserved it.

When I watched some clips,I cried.I couldn't understand why they were so hateful.What made them think they had the rights to take away a life simply because she was different?And here is where I get to my point.Why do we discriminate others who are different?Be it homosexuals,transgenders so on and so forth.If you were to discriminate them based on your thinking that they're "different",wouldn't you be hating on the whole world?

I like performing on stage but you like to play a little basketball.Would you discriminate me because I'm different from you?Just because I'm not doing things your way,it doesn't mean I'm in the wrong.I'm not saying that I'm a homosexual and then I'm all up for president for gay pride,but I just don't see why we all just can't get along.I've got gay friends and I love them all the same.Because why?Deep down it's who they are that matters to me the most.IT'S NOT WHO THEY'RE WITH.They're not a second-class citizen.They're not anything lower than every single one of us.If you think that they're disgusting,then pardon me,but I think you're the disgusting one.You're living in so much oblivion so please,go and educate yourself.

We live in one world.And it's surprising how we tend to forget that no matter where we are or what we are or who we are.,we all stand at the same level.

We're all humans who are never perfect.We're all flawed,one way or another.
