An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good at Amazon

 

"Hop Against Homophobia"I was honestly stumped about what I was supposed to say about the subject of homophobia. I don’t have any stories I feel comfortable sharing with the world at large and just the thought of it makes me uncomfortable.

So that’s what I decided to use as the focus of my post: the fact that homophobia is a very uncomfortable topic. It’s so uncomfortable that I think that’s the reason why no one wants to talk about it or even focus on it for too long.

People just assume that if they ignore all of the bad things that happen, then none of it will be real. Because of that, there are some people that are honestly ignorant of the fact that there is a whole group of people being treated like second-class citizens and that some expect them to just keep their mouths shut and take it.

This hop is not meant to just share the message of being against homophobia, at least, not for me. No, for me this is a hop to make people aware of the fact that homophobia still exists and that people shouldn’t just ignore it and hope that it goes away.

Just displaying the Hop Against Homophobia icon on my blog is my testament:

I do not support homophobia. I do not support racism. I do not support gender inequality.

I do accept the fact that these awful things exist in the world, but I fully believe that as long as a message of peace and brotherhood is being spread around, the times will change. Things will get better. Society’s views will change. The world will become a place where someone can walk down the street and not have to worry about getting attacked simply for the way they look or who they love.

I was happy to accept the invitation to join the Hop Against Homophobia blog hop. And I sincerely hope that you are enjoying your journey from blog to blog and that you are seeing many messages of solidarity about something that should be changed.
