Heterosexuals For Same-Sex Equality

Being from Canada and Canada being only the 3rd country in the world to elect that all couples are equal and have the same rights I think this is a great leap forward and this is a great group.

Its hard to describe to anyone that was not raised in Canada what they teach you in school and what you are made to believe. What ever your beliefs are I think Canadians are WAY different in the way they view race, religion, and sexual orientation.

When you grow up and race, religion, and same sexual orientation are just what they are... Nothing is a big deal to anyone.

They just are.

I grew up in a such a culturally diverse society (and I am very thankful for that) that growing up you never saw "race" it did not matter what "religion" you were. Or even what your sexual orientation was. People are people. Period.

To be honest until I moved to the US I never really understood how different the US is in comparison to Canada in regards to race, religion and sexual orientation.

Heaven forbid if you had and spoke about a gay friend. Or friend of another race, if you smiled at a baby that happened to be a different race and are cussed at by the mother.

Serious true story.

So either way, what ever you believe I wear my heart on my sleeve about this and about me.

I am proud of the fact that the way I was raised I was taught not to judge, not to see color or race, that ALL people are equal regardless of their race, religion or sexual orientation...

People are people. Period.
