Okay, I'm sorry about this, but I need to rant. Feel free to completely ignore this. It's fine. First thing: Homophobia Right, homophobia is NOT okay. I think you all know that. But so many of you say "I'm not homophobic, I just don't agree with LGBTQ+." Guys, that's quite literally the definition of homophobia. Homophobia is the irrational fear of, aversion to or discrimination against homosexuals or homosexuality. It's just plain wrong. You can't tell trans people that they're not valid or don't exist, because they ARE and they DO. I know you might think that the Bible says being gay is wrong because it says 'man shall not sleep with man' but that was WRONGLY translated from 'man shall not sleep with child'!! It also says that you should love everyone, which is exactly what you're NOT doing! Do NOT try to argue your religion says gay is a sin because God wouldn't have created homosexuality if he/she/they thought it was wrong. Next: COVID-19 I know. I know. Why did I bring this up? I'm sorry. But let me just- No one likes coronavirus. No one does. So why won't you help stop the spread? Stop complaining about wearing masks, you don't have it that bad. There are people wearing masks 12 hours a day, how do you think they feel when you whine about wearing one for half an hour? So much so that you don't even wear one outside?? There are people risking their LIVES out there for you, and you can't even be bothered to help them back?? It's not like you're being asked to do their job, just to cover half your face!! I don't care if you have a 'medical reason' for not wearing a mask, there's no excuse. I don't want to get into an argument, but since I have severe asthma and it can be triggered by dust, I think I have the right to say this. And do you not see that there's literally no point in anyone wearing a mask if YOU don't wear one?? Do you WANT to get coronavirus? Because you're certainly acting like you do. (the next bit only UK people will understand) Don't put up rainbows and say 'Thank you NHS' if you can't be bothered to help. You're all celebrating the NHS now, where have you been the last SEVENTY-TWO years?? Why were you opposed to it before?? When you wanted it to go private? Where would you be now if you had to pay to get healthcare?? Wear. A. Mask. Finally: BLM and ALM ALM is stupid and against the point. Nowhere in the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' does it say other lives DON'T matter. Of course all lives matter, but currently we're focusing on black lives because no one is being prejudiced against white people. Don't understand? That's okay, it's a bit confusing. Here's an example to help: If you saw a house on fire, and there was a hosepipe nearby, you'd use the water to put out the flames. You wouldn't spray the water on your own house saying "All houses matter," would you?
