The Gay Straight Alliance

Well, my the community I belong to is called the Gay Straight Alliance or GSA for short. I belonged to this club only my senior year of high school, but I got really passionate about it. First, because the point that we discussed is equal rights for homosexual, bisexual, transsexual, lesbians, and transgender people. I think that all of us, as human beings, deserve to have the same rights. As the Declaration of Independence said, "All men are created equal and so should have equal rights". What we try to do is to get involved in the community as much as we can so our voices could be heard. We started with a very little group of people, but as the school year went more people that shared our same ideas and desires got involved.

The second reason I joined this club is because I have many gay, bisexual, and lesbian friends and I do not believe in the division of rights for heterosexual and homosexual people. I do believe that one day equality will come. A lot of people have tell me that I dream and hope too high. I don't think the same way. I know that society is a hard enemy to go against but I have never loose hopes that one day they will learn to see with other eyes. Thanks to societies homophobia many innocent lives have been lost and I hate that.

The problem in my community is that even though most of us share the same ideals, when someone disagrees we all get in a big fight. We have to learn to control our temper. We act without thinking and the results are things that we cannot go back and fix. I hate seen my people getting in a fight because they haven't learn to accept that not all of us think the same. In order to get to where we want we need to work together instead of picking a side and working separately. I really hope to get people to see my point of view and help them get over the problem that, even though seems like nothing, is destroying our community.
