[hrap/mex] The March Against Homophobia
Today was a day that really touched my heart. Today we went to a march against homophobia. Two days prior to the march we had a discussion because some didn't want to participate. Their reason which I knew was very important and would come up wasRELIGION.Mirza, Nate and Fahim said because their religion does not support homosexuality they would not attend the march. Kemar and Norma said even thought they are heterosexuals they support gay rights. I respect everyone's opinion and I'm glad they let it be known. On the day of the march Fahim ending up coming. I'm glad he changed his mind. Even though Mirza and Nate didn't come I respect their decision because it's their values. It's what they believe in and they stuck to it. Fahim had a change of heart and was brave enough to come. I give him credit for that. At the march we met up with the people from El Centro and marched. I was having so much fun. I was waving the biggest rainbow flag I've ever seen. We were shouting chants in Spanish which was really cool. We had people taking plenty of pictures of us as if we were famous. I am really happy we supported something that is personal and objective.
