Love is a human experience :)

Ok so today's post has to be about LGBT in modern society.

... Why ???
...... Cause I said so now shut up and let me continue !!
... Ok :'(
...... Oh don't cry !!! Wait let me explain :)

There are two very important reasons that today's subject must be so gay :P The first is that tomorrow I'm going to gay pride for the first time !!!!!! :D I'm soooooo bloody excited :D I'm wearing my mickey mouse glasses in they style of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi video and my converse boots and I just can't frickin wait !!

After living in the country side for so many years I've always experienced very conservative views on things such a sexuality with even the kindest people having problems with members of the LGBT community and I guess this is why Pride is so exciting !! Everyone will either be gay or will love us !! T'will be fantastically, orcasmically amazing !!! :)

Another reason I have to write about LGBT today is due to Anne Hathaway. Anne has always been such an inspiration to me and I have loved her for so many years that when I read the following extract from a speech made by Ms Hathaway I could not believe how lucky I was to have such an inspirational woman to look up to:

"In my household, being gay was, and is, no big deal. When my brother came out, we hugged him, said we loved him and that was that. Just for the record, we don’t feel that there is actually anything alternative about our family values. I don’t consider myself just an ally to the LGBT community, I consider myself your family. If anyone, ever, tries to hurt you, I’m going to give them hell. There are people who’ve said that I’m being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage and gay adoption. With all due respect, I’m humbly decent. I’m not being brave, I’m being a decent human being. Love is a human experience, not a political statement."

The line in this that genuinely nearly had me in tears was "I don’t consider myself just an ally to the LGBT community, I consider myself your family. If anyone, ever, tries to hurt you, I’m going to give them hell". Anne doesn't direct this at a vulnerable, weak or depressed group in society who needs her charity, she makes sure we are all aware that when she says this she is directing it at a free, open and beautiful group of people who sometimes need help in this unfair modern world.

This gives me hope. With celebrities and politicians like David Norris, Jane Lynch, Barack Obama, Chris Colfer, Mary Robinson, Lady Gaga, Ellen DeGeneres and so many others fighting for our rights soon the governments and people of this world will have to listen.

I know I've already ended a post with a quote from Born This Way this week but I fear I shall have to do it again:

"No matter gay, straight, or bi,

Lesbian, transgender life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive."
