| Sometimes I'm Still A Little Naive |
I think I just don't understand. How could people after all these years, all the wars and prejudice, all the freedom fighting and marches, all the advocation for basic human rights, how could people still be so closed minded? I was on Twitter and noticed Matt Lucas, a lovely and funny (as well as gay) comedian has had a lot of trouble lately. Slurs against his sexual orientation as well as his health and the fact that he has Alopecia, have been pouring in and really I just don't understand.
I tweeted back at him, addressing my concern, saying basically what I have said here (in 140 characters or less): I don't understand how such closed minded awful people like him still exist! Referring to a particular person who recently said some awful things to Mr. Lucas. Moments later he direct messaged me, simply stating: I know.
Most of the time, I consider myself to be quite aware of the world, it's ins and outs, it's bad and good. But there are somethings that when I approach the subject I still feel like a child in kindergarten; I keep asking why, even when I'm given an answer. Because, frankly, I don't understand the answer, nor the reason that in this day and age and times of openness and acceptance I am still asking why.
