Not a day passes by where I don’t hear someone say “you’re gay” or “that’s gay!”  As if being gay is an insult and something to be ashamed of.  Sure, some religions believe that being gay is a sin, but I think we can all agree that EVERYONE deserves respect. Most gay people do not feel it was a choice to be gay; they simply could no longer ignore what they felt.  Check out some of their stories by clicking HERE.  When you’re done answer these questions in your blog:

1)  What was a memorable story, video, or quote you saw?

2)  If you could speak out to a group of homophobes (those who hate gay people) what would you say to them?
