About this user
Well let's see, I am an agnostic atheist that is open minded, yet not gullible. I am male, and my athletic passion is gymnastics (academic one would be science, mainly biochemistry). I love quotes. I think they are just so inspirational (or just plain sweet). I strongly oppose unequal treatment to any person (any AT ALL unless their faults are at their own jurisdiction). I am single and plan to stay that way until I'm like....well as long as I can without tripping into this so called "Mutual Love". When I do, then I guess imma be a different kind of happy. A mushy type of happy. Annnyywayys, I love all my frinds [again, I lurve you] and I will always be there for you guys when you need me (as long as the thing you want me to do is not against my moral code).
Love, Jim.
P.S. An agnostic atheist is a person who does not believe in God, but does not know for sure that God doesn't exist. (Hence the word: Agnostic for "not knowing" and Atheist for "one who doesn't believe in a deity"

Harms of Homophobia:
1. Homophobia locks all people into rigid gender roles that inhibit creativity and self-expression.
2. Homophobia compromises the integrity of heterosexual people by pressuring them to treat others badly, actions that go against our basic humanity.
3. Homophobia limits our ability to form close, intimate relationships with members of ones own sex.
4. Homophobia generally limits communications with a significant portion of the population and, more specifically, limits family relationships.
5. Homophobia prevents some lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people from developing an honest self-identity, and adds to the pressure to marry and/or have children, which places undue stress on themselves and their families.
6. Homophobia is one cause of premature sexual activity, which increases the chances of pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Young people, of all sexual identities, are often pressured to become heterosexually active to prove that they are "normal."
7. Homophobia results in the elimination of any discussion of the lives and sexuality of LGBT people in the curriculum, keeping important information from all students.
8. Homophobia can be used to stigmatize, silence, and, on occasion, target people who are perceived or defined by others as lesbian or gay, but who are, in actuality, heterosexual.
9. Homophobia prevents heterosexuals from accepting the benefits and gifts offered by LGBT people: theoretical insights, social and spiritual visions, contributions in the arts and culture, to religion, to family life, indeed, to all parts of society.
10. Homophobia (along with racism, sexism, classism, etc.) inhibits a unified and effective governmental and societal response to AIDS.
11. Homophobia takes energy away from more positive activities.
12. Homophobia inhibits appreciation of other types of diversity, making it unsafe for everyone because each person has unique traits not considered mainstream or dominant. Therefore, we are all hurt when any one of us is disrespected.
