So here are a few things I want to share as thoughts with the world. Today, the greek goverment voted for the matter of cohabitation between citizens of the same sex. In my beloved and ruined country of Greece, there are many different opinions regarding this, majority of the voiced opinions are highly agressive and quite abusive if anything. Greek lgbt couples will still not be allowed to marry and still will not be allowed to adobt.

First things first: Why is a cohabitation important then? Simple: There are more to the world than emotions. A cohabitation will allow someone to share accounts, insurances and will protect the will of one of the partners in case of them dies. Neat!

Secondly: I keep hearing alot of things today. Among the best ones are the "This insane, unethical propaganda is what will ruin our children into thinking that all this could be natural" and "whatever did those poor adobted children do to deserve this?". As a gay guy, I won't tell you this is a blessing. For me, being gay is more of a burden and a curse than a bliss. Because of that, I had asked for help from a psychiatrist that's top in the field of LGBT issues (He is one of the only two in greece that evaluate genderqueer people and gives the ok for the surgery). I learned alot while I was there and I learned how it's not all so bad. Words are our weapon, most times, learning arguements is in fact our way to defend.

1) Is being homesexuality a mental disease?
No. It's not. The definition of a mental illness is that whoever suffers from it, cannot be an active member of the society without medication.

2) Is homosexuality going against nature?
No. People are born gay, it's a thing that had been happening since the ancient times and has nothing to do with how society develops or what kind of drugs and stuff exist in the air we breath.

3) Are people born gay?
Maybe. It's not yet 100% proven. 1 theory suggests that we go through experiences and "unlock" this sexuality as we grow up, the other suggests that hormones are created from the mother's womb that make the child identify the same sex. (this is all from memory, can't find good reference on the fly <_<)

4) Gay couples can't reproduce.
Correct. However, so do countless straight couples around the world. The more we evolve, the weaker our sperm grows and alot of straight couples ask for medical help to get their baby. That's not natural either, but apparently, it's no big deal.

5) Does a child need both parental figures to develop properly?
No. Why? Because ALL the jerks in the world so far were growing in a "straight" environment. There are also a huge amount of single parents who make their best effort to raise their kids as good citizens. It's not actually relevant.

6) Gay/lesbians can't do anything good.
Wrong. Laugh with Ellen DeGeneres. Admire Jane Addams. Read Oscar Wilde. Listen to Tchaikovsky. Appreciate Michelangelo. Learn from Da Vinci. Study about Alexander the great. Enjoy Neil Patrick Harris. Watch Sir Ian Mckellen. Wear Marc Jacobs. There is a bunch of great minds that did and are doing great things everyday and the people LOVE THEM. Focus on the positive aspects. We are all human beings with potential!!

7) This Horrible propaganda makes people think this is ok!
And imagine that if this continues, after the haters die, the rest of the world will actually be ok.

8) This goes against the words of the Lord (whatever god they believe in)
Most religions preach love. This is the fundamental ground for all of them. What sexuality involves is essencially love. First, God won't judge you for being gay or straight, he will judge you for being good or an asshat. Secondly, alot of things the "lord" has said have been altered over the years. Society evolves, so does religion. That's why we no longer trade women for goats as wives and why women vote.

9) What about the kids in the orphanage.
This will be speaking my mind ruder than usual. Whatever kind of a retarded uneducated moron would actually consider that a child growing up in the toughest conditions, struggling to learn things, yarning to be loved and being in a family, is better off alone at some place instead of a family? True, a gay family will not be the perfect family, but straight families aren't perfecter either. Those families are the reasons those kids ended up alone in the first place. If a kid was shown hatred, it can find some love in 2 moms or 2 dads. If a child lost their family, I am sure their folks will still be happier in the afterlife knowing that their kid is in good hands.

10)People will stare and point fingers and judge you when you are in the open with your partner:
Public display of affection was never my thing. But, so what if a gay guy can't kiss his bf in public, yet? They can kiss them at home. What changes is the image, not the essence. The essence is that both straight couples and gay couples love each other, wether they can show it to the world or not.

11)A gay guy will never love you as much as a straight girl (and the opposite of course).
This is not a competition and you can't measure love. I am positive that if its true love, anyone would be willing to even die for their partner, regardless of sexuality and gender.

Add things or talk about this @u@ Let's have a nice loooooong discussion!
