Let's talk about Charlize Theron

So today we're giving credit where it's due. Charlize Theron may not be a lesbian but she is on our side stating in You Magazine,

"Marriage is not for me. Until it's equal for everybody, I don't want to be a part of it. I grew up during apartheid and this feels similar."

From all the public knowledge we can possibly find on the internet, Theron is straight and although this does seem like a trend in Hollywood [to say that you won't get married until it's legal for everyone], she actually seems to hold on to this vow.

But don't take my word for it, watch the video below and hear for yourself!

Thank you Charlize Theron for speaking about your views on marriage. It must not be easy being in the public eye but it's nice to see that you've made the best out of it. We appreciate it.

Lez Talk About Jennifer Knapp

The main thing that the LGBT community is constantly faced with is religion. Most religions believe that same sex romantic relationships are sinful and many believe it's an instant ticket to hell. Religion has scared many people into the closet and it's time to give credit to someone who is brave enough to come out as both a lesbian and a Christian.

Jennifer Knapp is a popular Christian music artist. She came out as a lesbian in 2010 and as of April 2010, she has been in a relationship with a woman since 2002. So many Christians believe this is wrong. For some reason you can't be both gay and Christian resulting her to be a subject of scrutiny.

Religion can be used as a weapon to bully but it can also be a powerful medicine to heal. Through out the centuries,  human beings have turned to religion for answers and guidance and people continue to do so but let's not forget that religion is not fact. Many will disagree with me on this and that's fine but that doesn't change anything. If religion were fact it wouldn't be called 'religion' it'd be called 'fact' and having faith in your beliefs would be redundant. Religion is a respectable opinion. It is what governs peoples morals and decision making.

I believe in God and I believe he made us all. The LGBT community was not forged from the fires of hell to taint humanity with sin and abomination. People are still people. And since this is a religious topic, let's talk about the teachings of the Christian Bible. The main thing the Bible enforces is to love. Please don't take that out of context like, "Oh, well then I should fall in love with my dog while I'm at it or some child." NO! That is not what I'm talking about! We are to love and encourage others to love. Would you rather have people hurting each other? But then again, I guess that's what is being encouraged here. So many people are in the closet and living a lie. Lying is a sin too, isn't it? Or is lying in this case acceptable, kind of like the way love in this case is unacceptable?

Regardless of our religions, I respect each of your beliefs and wouldn't dare try to challenge you and I apologize if this post offends anyone. You have the right to believe in whatever you want. I don't have the right to judge you and with that being said neither does anyone else. 

Jennifer Knapp continues to make music and is still a Christian. If you're a Christian and in the closet, I will not tell you to come out or stay in. I understand the pressures of family and religion. As hard as it is, coming out is your decision to make and yours alone. But once it's made, you don't have to be alone. You can write to me if you need a friend and guess what? YOU ARE NOT ALONE! There are many just like you, going through the same things! I'm not just saying that, trust me because I'm one of them. 

It gets better. Thanks Jennifer Knapp for standing up and coming out, you have encouraged many to be true to themselves and comforted many that we can be both gay and a Christian.
