He should stop making it seem like it is.

Logan Paul Needs To Realize Being Gay Is NOT A Choice

A year after his controversial video in the Japanese suicide forest Logan Paul has come under fire again this time it is because he said one of his resolutions was to "go gay" for a month in March, and Twitter was not happy about it.

Many users commented on the matter—even GLAAD commented on it saying "that's not how it works Logan." If it was meant to be a joke, it is still in poor taste.

Logan, you may find this funny but guess what? Statistics are not funny! Here is some that you should read up on before you go making any more jokes from the Human Rights Campaign:

4 in 10 LGBTQ+ youth 42% say that the community that they live in is not accepting of LGBTQ+ people

LGBTQ+ youth are 2x as likely as their peers to say that they have been physically assaulted, kicked, or shoved at.

26% of LBGTQ+ youth say that their biggest problems are not feeling accepted by their family, trouble at school, bullying, and a fear to be out/open.

Still, think its funny?

If you really want to make a difference, you should spend the month of March talking about LGBTQ+ people. Maybe you can interview them as you did with the suicide awareness video, only this time minimize the number of times your face is in it—make it about them.

Here are some organizations that you can also donate to:

The Trevor Project

GLAAD

PFLAG

And here are many more!

You get a lot of money just from being on YouTube so maybe donate that money to one of those many charities or maybe volunteer at an LGBTQ+ homeless shelter.

I understand that your followers are pretty young and may not understand right from wrong, but you are 23 years old—you need to be an example to the young ones out there they watch your videos and some of them might end up following what you do whether it be negative or positive. You have all this fame—use it and do something good.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
