Show some Humanitea

This post is totally unrelated to tea.. minus the title. and I'm going to pretend that this Starbucks cup wasn't actually filled with Tazo tea.. but real tea...


On that note.. read/watch this:

Now THINK and answer me this: Why in this day and age, when we have a revolution of people embracing diversity and differences does this shit still happen? Why does it matter if someone is gay, straight, bi, trans or whatever else? I have NEVER understood why who someone loves makes any difference to the rest of the world, and I am certain I never will. Stop fucking people up because they are different than you! Imagine if the world was filled with people who were all exactly the same? how boring would that be? Some chicks marry chicks! get over it! Some dudes marry dudes! move the fuck on! WHO CARES? all that REALLY matters (or should matter) is how much you love yourself or whom YOU love.. not whether its "right" or "wrong". Love is so not black and white, so why do we have to make people black and blue because of it?

So I'm heated about this as you may have guessed. I didn't even know the guy, but I know guys like him. Its so scary to me.. and sad.. I am so envious of straight people who never have to pretend to be someone they aren't.. or go into hiding just because the very nature of who they are is threatening to their life. Its horrible living this way and no one should have to.. so.. sorry that this wasn't really about tea.. although I might have some to calm myself down.. or cheer myself up? I guess I could try and think of some cheesy line about how there are so many flavours and types of tea in the world and no one gets killed because they prefer earl grey over English breakfast..so why can't we embrace differences in love as well? (yeah see how uber cheesy that was?)

ANY kind of love is better than all of this ridiculous fucking anger and hate.
