Equality?

     Why do we tear each other apart? What gives people the right to tell another person what they can and cannot be? Why does God have to tell us who to love? Why does the Military have to tell us to hide it? What does our Government have to do with love? 

     I am straight, but a few of my friends are not. Some being Bisexual, some are Gay, and some are Lesbian. Why can't my friends be allowed to marry in whatever state they want to marry in? And when they join the military, what are they going to do? They shouldn't have to hide it from everyone because Uncle Sam said so. I cannot change religion, no one can. But we can change Tolerance. Why does an average Christian have to bring down a homosexual? Is that not also against what God says?

      The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”~ The Holy Bible 

      Isn't that what it says? You should love everyone around you, just as you love yourself. So why is it that, "Good" Christian men and women break the "Greatest Commandment?" I love my LGBT friends. So why doesn't everyone else? Can someone answer this?
