There are not many things that I hate. I hate cucumbers (the smell even makes me gage) and gray days, but nothing too significant. There are things that I dislike, but I rarely ever use the word 'hate' in my vocabulary. I try to do my best to love everyone. I am not perfect, but again 'try' is the key word. There is one thing that I especially hate though, and I feel FINE using the term HATE. I hate ignorance. I hate it! While at work I often will look online for the news (whether it is the LA Times, NY Times, or the good 'ol Monroe Evening News). Today I was looking at the Monroe Evening News and read an article about a gay bashing. I CANNOT HANDLE THE INTOLERANCE PEOPLE HAVE FOR OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/G/GAY_MANS_DEATH?SITE=MIMON&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
The story is about how the Michigan Legislation is trying to pass a bill that would give a higher severity to Hate Crimes and consider gay bashing in that category. I am so happy that Michigan is trying to take the steps and make everyone feel as though they are HUMAN. The fact that people are so ignorant and ..... um.... I can't even think of a good enough word that evokes my emotions on this subject. I don't understand how people can have so much hate for another person, just because they are different from them - Nazis come to mind when I think about it. AHHHHHHHHH. This subject just makes me so frustrated.
I would recommend watching The Laramie Project. It is a play that is about the Matthew Shepard that the article touches on. The play has been turned into a movie, and I have the DVD if anyone would like to borrow it. When one of my friends and I went to go see the play when it was at the University of Michigan Fred Phelps and his clan were there protesting the play. Their ignorance boils my blood. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6JZnsCi7n1c5HG55uQKqQ6C4_l8CSkN4FJNuRglf0lVFDs_YAWSKTqFOtFBGgUD8y6jrbZKAjkoGswXaTNyNtWj_cgBbvF7gdn_QQDC1cQbAri2OvZngv9IhBq-odJUXKLrN2VRAzFM3i/s320/index_r1_c1.jpg)
