This doesn’t make me angry. This is way too far gone to make me angry. Now all I feel is…sadness. This kind of hate isn’t born, guys. This kind of attitude…it’s learned. I refuse to believe that any human being is born thinking this way. I can’t pretend to know this person’s background or how they were brought up, but to live in an environment that teaches this kind of belligerent, violent prejudice…I want to vomit just thinking about it.

I’m very fortunate that I grew up in a family that encouraged me to learn as much as I could about people that were different from me. If someone was black, it was just the color of their skin. If someone was Latina and only spoke Spanish, that wasn’t their fault. That was just where they were born. So when I started learning about people loving people of their own gender, I didn’t think twice about it. It was just who they loved and it was their choice to make. 

At the risk of sounding vain, I wish everyone could have been brought up that way. My father struggles with the remnants of his own racism, sexism and homophobia. I would never call him a hateful person, but he’s bias because of the environment in which he was brought up. This person is like that, taken to a horrific extreme, and at this point, I don’t think there’s anything we can do. I honestly don’t. We can track their IP address, send them hate mail and messages, but in the end, this is how this person thinks and I don’t think we can change it. There are some things we can’t fix, no matter how hard we try. This person is one of those things. 

I truely believe anything this person could have had that I consider human must have died long ago. 

Nothing gives someone the right to tell someone to take their own life.

Nothing gives someone the right to be hatefully mock their sexual orientation. 

Nothing gives someone the right to kill for the sake of killing, to harm for the sake of harming, and to hate for the sake of hating. 

This person mentions ‘sinning’. I can’t pretend to know what God this person believes in, but the one I believe in, doesn’t kill people just because of who they love. The God I believe in doesn’t hate people just because of who they love. The God I believe in looks down at people like this and turns away in shame. The God I believe in doesn’t care if a person is heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, genderqueer, what have you. Who you sleep with and what gender you identify with doesn’t mean anything as far as who you will grow up to be. 

As wise teacher once said: It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities. 

Let your choices speak for you. Do not let people like this intimidate you or frighten you. They have made a choice to hide behind an Anonymous button and hate. You have the choice, right now, to defy them. In other words:

Be who you are and fuck the rest. 

 There are no words for how upset this made me.

No. No. No. No. No. No.

Saying you will kill someone is NOT okay. Saying someone does not deserve to live is NOT okay. Calling someone a disgrace and worthless is NOT okay. Calling someone a fag is NOT okay. This ENTIRE THING is NOT okay. This is downright evil. 

How dare you. What makes you think that you are so high and mighty that you can get away with something like this? Everything about this is nothing but pure HATE. It radiates hate and it is making me want to hate whoever it was that wrote this. I could easily just let that hate take control and spit out a response full of hate right back at this person. But, I know better. I know that being hateful is not okay. 

And really? Now that I let go of that anger and think about it… I just… This sort of thing honestly just breaks my heart. Hate and prejudice is not something that one is born with. It is something that is learned. I mean, what sort of environment did this anon grow up in for them to believe that this sort of behavior is acceptable? Who was it that taught them that this is okay? I’m really upset now… To know that there are environments out there that teaches this kind view is just… It’s saddening.

This is the single most disgusting thing I have ever read. I don’t know what I’m feeling right now. I wish I was capable of coherent thought but I’m afraid I’ll go off on a massive one and completely lose my shit so I think I’ll just stop now.

This doesn’t make me angry. This doesn’t make me scared.

I am a lesbian, I am proud, and I’m staying.

I won’t die - and I am a human.

Words like these don’t mean a thing when you are confident in your sexuality and your value. The grammar doesn’t suddenly make it more valid. Most anons are shit with that.

I do believe there are ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ opinions - in the moral sense. This is a wrong opinion.

The fact this person is actually anonymous and sharing their narrow-minded, hateful views proves that they are more of a monster than any of us could be. These people have to live their lives so full of anger and rage that they miss out on what is truly important.

I don’t care if I get hate when I get my girlfriend - because finding that connection, finding that person - those people so afraid of something different - are nothing against that pride, that diversity, and the beauty of just finding that person. The people who hate can’t even scratch the surface.

It’s funny, because I know I’m a good human. My career in the future, I just want to help people somehow. I am worth something, and I absolutely refuse to kill myself when I have the duty of making a change and making a difference, and influencing people, and educating others on something some of us just don’t get it.

One of the reasons I’m denying nothing once I reach high school isn’t just for the sake of myself, and my identity, but I need to be a role model.

I don’t hate this person, because it’s ridiculous to hate someone when they can’t even show their real face or their real name and they have the audacity to write something like this to someone who’s just trying to go on with their day.

I’m not angry at this person, because it’s just truly sad now.

This person will see that the world is changing rapidly, and they will be left behind.
