Freedom
Freedom truly is beautiful, isn't it?
A world where people are comfortable being exactly who they are, with no need to hide away ashamed or in fear of being persecuted. A place where communities comprise of multicultural diversity, no hate or discrimination for living the life they choose. A country where we welcome individuality and the right to peaceful existence. A land where we can be ourselves, and be accepted for who we are.
I am personally fatigued by the constant onslaught of racist and homophobic statuses, posts, and comments all over social media lately, often regurgitating propaganda about how we need to get England back to how "it used to be", to get back to the proud core Christian country it once was.
Firstly, I personally believe religion was a control mechanism introduced back in the past to incite fear amidst the masses, a method through which people could be scared into doing as they were told before we had a proper law system. It was also an astute way to cope with loss and despair, through the belief and faith that there was a divine purpose and reason for everything. Secondly, everything evolves and changes - most notably geolocation. If you were living in a third world country in poverty and squalor, then forget trying to convince me that you wouldn't better your living conditions given the opportunity. I personally see a lot of the very same people against immigration condoning British citizens relocating to other countries like Australia because of the better standard of living; the hypocrisy is not even subtle.
Do not be mistaken, I am well aware of extremists and terrorism, about the National Security threat of relaxed border controls - but that isn't a racist notion; my concerns are not tied to, nor reflective upon entire racial segmentations. The answer to the problem isn't to fear, and accordingly persecute entire races on the actions of a select minority. If Islamic immigrants petition to build a Mosque and exercise their customs in the UK, that's fine by me too as long as it does not directly influence or affect me - they have the right to do whatever they want within the confines of the legal system.
Also I am very pro equal rights, most notably regarding homosexuality - it's difficult to even justify an argument because it seems so redundantly obvious to myself that everyone should have the right to be in consensual relationships with whomever they chose. Sexual orientation does not influence the important values and contributions of either gender, and honestly, it doesn't affect anybody else. I see retarded dialogues about how homosexuality has only become an issue because of the publicity it's garnered; ironic when the same people have always been fine to have the media constantly force feed heterosexual couples down their throats.
If you are genuinely racist or homophobic, then you need to seriously re-evaluate your life.
