Touchy Subject

So I recently had some time to think about things. Something I rarely get to do anymore. I saw an episode of Kids React and had mixed feelings about it. It was the episode where the kids were reacting to gay marriage. Before I saw that video, I was completely against gay marriage. I thought it was completely wrong and everyone that is gay should be condemned. But seeing that video, made me think twice. Not in the way that you're probably thinking... Those kids were accepting of gays, BUT they were not accepting of the people that were against gays. They were standing up for all of the gay people, but trashing the homophobes. That really made me think. If you're going to stand up for one person, you better be prepared to stand up for every person. You're contradicting yourself.
Another video I watched really changed my opinion. Gigi Gorgeous is a pretty popular YouTuber (500,000+ subs), and he/she is openly gay. He told his coming out story and how he handled it. He said that he once had this girl that he never met stand up for him. He said that you can't go through life on your own. You need someone there to help you through it. Not codependency, just a friend that you can count on to always be there for you. It made me realize that gays are people too.
Now on to the legal matters. I now think that gay marriage should be legalized. Used to be, there was a huge deal about interracial marriage and they got over that. I think you should in fact be free to love whoever you want. Now when people start wanting to marry animals, that is when the REAL problems will start.
Okay, I do understand that the biblical perspective on this subject is kind of tricky. Sure Genesis and Leviticus said some stuff about man and women and how God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. But Jesus, the only Son of God, the guy that died to SAVE us... Yeah that guy... He died so that we could be forgiven for everything. (Just so you know, as I am writing this, I am still thinking about how this ties in biblically.) So, Jesus did die to save us from our sin, but it doesn't mean that people should continue to sin. I don't know, that thought came to mind. But regardless, Jesus loved everyone. Prostitutes, tax collectors, lepers. So I'm guessing he probably loved gays to.
What makes me really upset about this whole dispute is how people treat each other. A while back, people used to make fun of gay people because they were gay, but now, people pick on and terrorize people that are anti-gay. That is so stupid. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but you can't hurt someone just because of what they believe. And yes, I know that this has been going on for centuries, so don't try and give me your witty comments about all those wars back in them days. I already know. I'm not an idiot -___-

Tell me what you think. And please, nothing hateful...
Love all.
