7 Reasons Why I'm an LGBTQ+ Ally

Why is this still debatable?

7 Reasons Why I'm an LGBTQ+ Ally
Digg

I'm still not sure why this is debatable. Why should any one person ruin another's happiness?

1. Everyone deserves to spend their life with their loved one.

Again. How is this debatable? Love is a wonderful, life-changing experience. To deny someone of this is plain cruel.

2. Everyone deserves a family.

So what if a child has 2 dads, 3 moms, or 5 of each? If that child is loved, that child has a happy life.

3. God loves everyone.

As a Catholic, this is not the lesson that was taught in my Sunday school. But as a person, I choose to believe that God truly loves every single person on this planet.

4. If you are unhappy in your body, you deserve to be able to change it.

If someone truly feels that they were born to be somebody else, they should have the freedom to change that. How would it feel to live in a shell that doesn't feel like your own?

5. You should be able to choose your sexuality.

I actually have heard some homosexuals shaming bisexuals because 'they can't decide'. Or. It's possible they are into both genders. Not just one.

6. Or be able to decide your lack-of.

A pure emotional attachment is a beautiful experience. People who see what's on the inside before the outside deserve to be praised.

7. I refuse to debate the topic of human rights.

They're called human rights for a reason. If someone is human (in case we are unclear, the gay community IS human), these rights are given to them, no questions asked.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
