Speak Out About What You Do in Your Private Time Expect Backlash
It doesn't matter whether a person is affiliated with a religion, grew up with a racist or marched with sexist relatives to further divide the sexes, or simply doesn't like people, if you expose yourself to those who already have personal issues with "your kind" then don't get angry, plot revenge, or act shocked. You told people what you are, what you do, or what you like and now you have put yourself out there to be accepted or rejected.
I personally find it useless and silly to keep berating people about what one likes or doesn't like. Simply state how you feel and if their are those who are in support, so be it, but if not, we move on. However, some groups want to shove personal preference down our throats as if it is the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that somehow if we just believe all might be saved from the gay man's wrath, the feminist's rage, and everyone else in between who would like to cast revenge on those who don't go along just to get along.
CNN anchor, Don Lemon, a respected black man in many circles, added the title gay to his profile and it didn't cause people to want to stop watching him, but it did get many to start thinking. Now I don't mention him, because I want to devote a piece to homosexuals; rather, I would like to share the comment he made about Jonah Hill being "a tool." On November 9, 2012, US Weekly reported the following, "The 46-year-old TV journalist got into a Twitter war with the 21 Jump Street actor Nov. 8. "Said hi to Jonah in a hotel," Lemon wrote. "Think he thought I was a bellman. Didn't know his name til the bellman told me. A lesson to always be kind." Lemon later that Hill, 28, 'was a tool.'"
Now in the past, I referenced Lemon's statement on another blog, because I was making a point about how actors are used in the entertainment industry like tools to promote a select club's agenda. But I am going to take it one step further based on Lemon's comment and how it relates to his sexuality.
When Lemon came out, you know he wasn't well-received by all. So it would make sense for those not in agreement with his open lifestyle to start using fellow actors to ignore, ridicule, or do other things to make the person feel so bad about what he or she has done that eventually they will self-sabotage. (That's right I said "actors" because journalists are just like entertainers in mainstream media too--used to stimulate, sway, and get the masses to "like" and "be a fan,")
Anyone, man, woman or child, who lives in such a way that goes against the norm, so to speak, will eventually feel the pain of the majority. As much as groups work hard to get others to accept them, as long as we live in a world with opinion, critical thinking skills, religion, rights, laws, personal experience, morals, and free speech, people will think the way they want no matter how many incentives, promises, schemes, lies, or tricks a group uses to get the public to accept whatever whenever.
Personal preference is always a personal decision and if you invite others into your world, expect backlash. If a righteous man will be criticized for doing the right thing, what do you think might happen to any one of us for speaking truth about any and all things whether right or wrong?
