Just a couple of days ago, maybe less, I received a disturbing email from the Human Rights Campaign in Washington DC. The title frightened me: "Concentration camps for gays?"

There was a video next to it in the following link: [link] .

I urge all who read this to sign this and call Pastor Worley of North Carolina on bigotry. Especially this kind of bigotry will not go unscathed.

Lastly, I have a personal letter to Pastor Worley. I know he won't read it, but I feel the need to project my feelings.


To Pastor Worley,

As a citizen of the world, well aware of the dissatisfaction of the billions that inhabit this planet, I do not judge by religion, nor do I judge by skin color, ideals either political or personal, culture, sexual orientation, or personality. We are all very unique in our own way. Coming from a citizen of the world, the message that you projected hurt me and many other members of the LGBT community and the first word that comes to mind when I heard your little speech was that you must have a mind as evil but much smaller than Adolf Hitler himself.
Saying that we should "Build a great big large fence..." and  "Put all the lesbians in there" and "Do the same thing for the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out..." makes me think of what Hitler and the Nazis did the Jewish people. Hitler and the Nazis stripped the Jewish people of their freedom, imprisoned them, used them for target practice, gassed them, beat them, threw any Jewish people in wheelchairs off balconies, used Jewish babies for target practice by flinging them into the air, starved them, let them wallow in their own shit, and did many other god awful things to them. If you went to school, I think you would know that. It was genocide. All of that happened - millions, maybe billions died - because Hitler followed what he believed and that was white power. He hated Jewish people, gypsies, and I think a few others. He thought all Germans ought to be the following: white, blond hair, blue eyes.
I do not fear death for being who I am and loving who I love, but know this : there can be only one thing I fear and that is a second holocaust happening. If all the hate and discrimination isn't put to a stop, history is sure to repeat itself.
Both you - Pastor Worley - and your brainwashed followers make me sick. I request that you keep your hateful opinion is to be kept to yourself and yourself alone, not to be shared with others. Your ignorance and intolerance makes me want to throw up.
As a citizen of the world, a victim of dissatisfaction, and a victim of bullying: the hate must be put to an end.
People choose who they want to love and that should be okay. There is no logical reason as to why anyone should spread such a negative message.
Nobody is born to hate.
