Its over.

Tattoos

People should get tattoos because its an expression of counterculture, it helps you show people who you are. Sometimes tattoos can be of someone's name, face, or symbol and that shows that person that you love them because you permanently marked yourself for them. People have connected tattoos with their loved ones, their aren't only connected through love but through PERMANENT markings, doesn't that mean something? Others just get it to be different from everyone else. They should get tattoos because they are known as popular, some ignorant people judge you by whether or not you have tattoos and if you don't then your a "loser". Fashion is a big part of why people get tattoos, is it what influences them to get inked. Others mark themselves for memoriable circumstances, a tattoo to always and forever remember that moment. Some people just get tattoos to get them, no reason in the world why.


People shouldn't get tattoos because they are PERMANENT. They shouldn't get them because important jobs require people without tattoos, and persay you have tattoos then you will miss out of great opportunites. Those people that get tattoos for the significant other, are somehow not smart because what if you and the other are not together anymore, what are you suppose to do with it when your done. Specifically girls should not get tattoos on their lower back because it is known as a "tramp stamp". When people grow old their tattoos may get wrinkled and gross, you wouldn't want that would you? Getting a tattoo to make you seem more macho is dumb, it actually proves it differently because it shows that your aren't a man because you don't work good under prue pressure and thats sad.

Coming out

1.) What was a memorable story, quote, or movie you saw?
A memorable quote i saw was from the 15-year old girl from Denton when she said "I asked my dad ' do you think i'm going to hell because im gay' ". This i would never forget because i used to think that being gay only meant you liked and go out with the same sex, but now after hearing her story i think different, its much more deeper than people think. Being gay is something you are, its something that can change people , change the world and change yourself. She felt like what she was, was a bad thing because she was so in touched with god, and she believed that being gay was a sin. After, all her experiences she realized that god would forgive her because thats what she wanted and thats who she was.
A movie i would never forget is about Joel and how she turned herself into a man. This story is memorable because Joel saw a document on transgender people and at that moment he figured that he wanted to live his life as a man. His little brother, constantly asked him if he was a boy or girl and i think that it was hard for him to answer but when he brother gets older he would understand and except him. Joel's experience with his change was actually not that bad because people began to except him right away and call him as he wanted. I think the hardest people to like his change was his parents, and i know this because they didn't call him by Joel but by his female name. However opinated, i believe that Joel is a very brave man to let everyone know who he is and not care what anyone thinks.
A story i think is memorable is the one about how the boy found himself when he was just 6 years old. This was sort of unqiue because the most of the people i know that are gay find out during their teen age years, even though they didnt realize that it was in themselves since probably like birth. Manny was 6 years old, with the attraction to the same sex. He didn't realize what gay meant and after he did, he noticed that that was what he was. His parents didn't except him at first and try to make him change but after a while they realized they couldn't. And the story ended with a happy ending, after all the pain and suffer Manny was finally excepted for who he was and no longer had to hide it. Now, i think its possible to find yourself at any age and you just need to let yourself be because hiding it can be ten times worse then just staying true to yourself.

2.) If you could speak to a group of homophobes, what would you say to them?
I would tell them that its okay to have an opinion, but they shouldn't discriminate against those who like the same sex no matter how much it bothers them. People that are gay, have the same rights as someone who isn't gay. They are regular people, like you and me. Their sexuality doesn't change one bit of personality that they have. Dont judge a book by its cover, take the time to open it up and read it. Some people constantly judge by what they see and miss out on something that is good right in front of them. You have no reason to hate gay people, so don't. Yeah, they are different but everyone's different in their own way but being gay is their difference from everyone else. Except people for who they are and not what you want them to be. Just don't hate someone for what they like, because if it was you, you wouldn't want to be hated. So stop being self-centered and narrow-minded and start seeing things for what they are.
