My pride

Alexiss Oliver

Love is love

Coming out isn’t easy, especially in the world we live in. Everyday people of the community are put through so much hate. We always wonder why people hate so much, we are just like everyone else. We love like everyone else, we care like everyone else, we also breathe like everyone else. Being gay doesn’t define who we are it’s not a personality it’s not a choice we are simply human. Humans come in all different colors, body type and even different heights. One thing we all have in common is the blood we bleed. All our blood is red. Red is my favorite color. I like red roses, red cars, red paint, basically anything red. I know a lot of people can relate with liking the color red. I know many people have different favorite colors as well. You see we are all human, we all have dreams and passions so why are gay people treated differently and hated on? A human is a human no matter what gender, sex, color, religion, and sexuality. Love is love. Let us live as normal life like everyone else does. We are not different from you.
