Let me say right off the bat, I don't hate gay people. I have strong beliefs on the issue but really what two consenting (non - Christian) adults do doesn't make me feel the need to hit them over the head with my bible. We have some friends that are gay and although spiritually, it pains me, they have made their decision. Sin is Sin. So whether you are gay, cheating on your taxes, committing adultery hey, we are kindof all in the same boat. (Saying that, God does view sexual sins in a different manner but that is for another blog).
My question is more that with gay people having won the freedoms and rights we all have now, why aren't we having a Heterosexual week? Someone commented to me "every event is heterosexual" but really is that true? I see these events as being open to everyone. I have never gone to a sporting event, a July 1 parade etc. where I was questioned on my sexual orientation. Nor have I ever seen an event that excluded people because of sexual orientation. Nor have I been to an event where there were open, public displays of heterosexual costumes, affection etc. I think it is about time we start celebrating some of our rights too. I am curious what the requirements are to have a "Heterosexual Pride Week" in Edmonton. Do I have to live there? Can anyone decide to have a parade and offer teen activities, beer gardens, church time, and seminars?
Something for me to think about!
