Perception of things change as your life changes.The definition of perception is the mental organization and interpretation of sensory information. Now some examples. Growing up, you may think of Santa as some wonderful guy who brings you presents. Then you get older and realize that he was your parents all along. Your perception changes. Girls, I say girls because I believe that we imagine this more than our brothers do, often believe that love is something beautiful. And it truly is. What they don't see, though, is that it takes many, many tries to hit that beautiful mesh of affection and passion. The lucky ones that get it without a strike to their name are rare. So, since we know what perception is, and some ways we perceive things, I'll just jump into the topic of this post.
Recently, President Obama has declared his support for Gay marriage. Or, "marriage" as I like to refer to it as. This has triggered a chain reaction sending a tidal wave of new and very obnoxious support for gay rights onto the internet. Don't get me wrong, as a bisexual girl trying to get through high school, the support is welcomed. But the way these teenagers are going about it is all wrong.
I've asked many straight people why they don't enjoy gays or gay rights activists. Most say that it's against their religion, blah blah blah, I'm a republican, blah blah blah. But there are a few that support the people, just not their methods. We have Gay Rights parades, Gay Rights campaigns, LGBT Days, and all of this Pro-Gay propaganda to try and support ourselves. And frankly, many citizens find it obnoxious. They don't have a problem, until it's shoved in their faces. All of this press is causing a stir around those who wouldn't have had an input.
It's the same on your Facebooks, Twitters, Pinterests, and whatever the hell else they have. A little support when needed is good. But for the sake of our own reputations, don't disturb calm waters. Friends going against friends is never good. It's painful to watch, and worse to take part it. I know from experience, being pro-choice and having pro-life friends. By trying to fight the hate, you're causing more of it. Learn when the support stops being support, and just becomes spam.
