Basically Australia is not allowing refugees from any country or asylum seekers to come and stake claim in Australia. From the articles that I've come across many of these refugees are coming from places where they are being persecuted and their lives are in danger such as Russia and being sent to Papua new guinea where its really NOT ok to identify as a homosexual and one could do 14 years in jail.
So the argument is weather or not this is right. I feel that just like any place in the world that you are not born in there are certain steps that one must go through in order to gain access. This is totally understandable but I think to just turn people down isn't cool, especially those who are literally running for their lives. Sending someone who is fleeing anti-gay laws to somewhere that has an anti-gay mentality is INSANE however this has been the procedure for quite sometime now. Although I don't believe that differentiating between homo/heterosexual refugees is the immediate concern, safety and making sure that people are not just being crammed into fucking slum holes is. This is really shining a negative light on Australia because now its beginning to snowball. There are currently protests, all types of speeches and talks of letting refugees free and allowing them to work going on over there to rectify this situation, I hope they figure something out soon because this shit is getting out of hand.
Just this morning I was reading and article about a Navy officer who proposed to his boyfriend after being away on a submarine for the last six months. You would think this would be a great thing; a man who is risking his life to protect ours, comes home and makes a commitment to the person he loves. This story being reported on US Today was met with some of the most disgusting and hateful comments I have read. In my opinion who this man lays down with is no one else's fucking business besides that person. One of the comments that bothered me the most was one that said this was all for show and attention. Like it or not these two are happy and living THEIR lives and at the end of the day the ignorant assholes who write hateful comments will continue to be bitter and miserable.
In a world where people are so quick to hate you for not being "normal" I just hope you guys that are not "normal" stay that way and hold true to who you are because you know what?? Being normal is pretty fucking boring.
