There is nothing wrong with being gay.

I was watching the Ellen DeGeneres show a few days ago and she told a very disturbing, very sad story. A 15-year-old boy named Larry was killed by his classmate Brandon for being gay. Larry had asked Brandon to be his valentine a few days earlier and he killed him for it. Where do the signals get crossed that make a kid like Brandon think it is ok to kill a kid like Larry? Being gay is not wrong. If you don’t already, start paying attention to how often being gay is the punch line in everyday language. All the time I hear people calling things gay when it doesn’t make any sense. Just today I heard someone say that having an exam on the Friday before break is gay. Does that make sense to anyone? I don’t understand. Is your professor a homosexual? Is the test somehow a homosexual? Or are you saying that it makes you very happy to have a test on the Friday before break? I think not. It is not ok to make gay jokes. It is not ok to kill someone because they are gay. It is however ok to be gay.
