Gay. Lesbian. Bisexual. Transgender. Queer. Asequal. Pansequal. Homophobe. This is how easy a 21st century human being ‘labels’ another individual. This is how an LGBTQ member is spotlighted in society or caused to become the focus of attention, without being intended to, surely. 

​

This is the proof of how some people are chosen to be titled and pointed at. Which is no different than a 3-year old child pointing at a cat on a tree, showing it to every single person near him, with great enthusiasm and excitement, as if he has just discovered a new species. Absolutely, no difference. Because not only the group of people that are labeled as “homophobes” or “transphobes'' are the discriminators; but also another person defending the rights of the LGBTQ, another person debating about them is pushing a group of people to the margins of the society. The LGBTQ members feeling as if they have to be defended or protected from the outer dangers, is actually what weakens them. Them being the motion of a debate, or seeing themselves as the cause of the world dividing into two opposite sides as  heterosexism and ‘fair minded’ liberalism, is what makes them vulnerable in human eyes. That being the case, this makes everyone but them the actual discriminators. Both the ones that reject them and accept them. Both the ones that cause LGBTQ individuals to think they are considered as the minority and that people are actually given the chance of either giving them a space in the world or not. Now, let me tell you something. Naming and calling people as homophobes, transphobes or heterosexists, this is not a solution.

​

I know that you LOVE being a part of conversations and putting forward your inspirational ideas about subjects; but there are some cases that only concern  some ‘groups’ of people. There are subjects that concern only the LGBTQ members. Not a homophobe, not a lesbophobic, not a biphobic, and not a heterosexist. Think about it. When a child is taught to defend herself or himself in any circumstance, when she knows how to say “yes” or “no” and free to express her thoughts dauntlessly, why the same chance is not given to a gay, to a lesbian? Why is everyone in the stereotypical mindset of them not being ‘strong’ enough or ‘courageous’ enough to stand up for themselves? Why are they always standed up for, but not actually seen standing up for themselves? Because this is what some people cause to happen. They are so blind in the fight that they give in to prove themselves right; because their main concern is not helping LGBTQ members, but showing how smart, how ‘liberal’ they are. They do this by defending a group of people that they do not actually care about. Maybe they are not aware of it; but they deeply know that the only people they care about are themselves and no one else.

We are trying to make this world equal for everyone. A livable place, a home... And we think this is possible by dividing different people, different choices and different thoughts into categories. Is it the way to take this world to an equal, just future? Is it? You tell me. Don’t you think humanity should understand that the 7.6 billion people living on this planet, with different thoughts, different lovers, different affections, and different passions unite in only one body. Shouldn’t they see that when we go out and stand in the middle of a street, the people we see are not different from each other, they are the same? Because they are members of one figure and one soul; and this is exactly why they should not be categorized. No one should be forced to do something, no one should be forced to believe in something that they do not actually accept. And definitely, no one should find himself/herself standing up for every single person they encounter.   Everyone should be standing at one middle point, instead.  Freeing themselves and everyone else from the labels... Because at the end of the day, this is where we all stand. This is where we will stand. Under one title: Human. After all, we are, all, Humans.
