First, I can not even begin to explain my anger towards the video clip we saw about the family going to the funeral of soldiers.  It completely infuriated me to the point I wanted to find all of those people and beat them up!  I find it completely contradictory for people of God to show such hatred and cruelty to an entire group of people.  It also just makes me made since I have seen the personal struggles of my gay and lesbians friends.  No one can possibly understand what they go through in their day to day lives.  I have had to stand up for them multiple times in my small town and completely not diverse school, and every time I have a hard time controlling my anger towards these people.  After reading the book I felt sympathy for Cal, because he had to go through his life with so much complication and not really ever knowing who he truly is.  In the world today people claim to be people of God and kind, forgiving people, but meanwhile they are showing hatred for gays and saying they are all going to hell.  How can they say that when we are all God's children; he created us all.  Why aren't people able to judge others based on their character?  No matter what people do or say, people are going to be who they want to be and do what they want to do, so just let everyone have their freedom of self-expression and let them live their lives.  If they are causing no harm to you than why criticize and be cruel to them?
