Open Your Eyes

“Hot”, “great publicity”, and “higher ratings.”

“Risque”, “dirty”, “controversial”, and “obscene.”

In an industry, like most industries, that is dominated by insecure and overly-compensating “macho” men, which of those labels do you think were attached to which picture? Not hard to guess, eh?

It saddens and frustrates me to know that when the vocal powerhouse that is Adam Lambert kissed one of his male band-members, ABC, the channel that was showing the American Music Awards in which this “incident” occurred, got hundreds of complaints; yet when Britney Spears and Madonna, both “hot females”, had some lip action back in 2003… guess how many complaints came in? … almost none.

Why? I’ll let you think for yourself… let you answer it.

There are a few of us in this world who believe in equality and peace. But there are many more who are still unknowledgeable, insecure, non-accepting. Afraid. Hopefully one day, and may that day be soon, the people in this world will open their eyes to see that we are all the same. Men. Woman. Gay. Straight. Bi… etc. Some say it is “unnatural”, but if it exists, doesn’t that make it “natural”? On our planet, there is a reason, a purpose, behind the existence of every being. Someday the world will understand, like I do. Like a strong and proud few do.

Someday, the world will open their eyes.
