Gender Pride

Being out of place is something that every person would not want to feel, but it cannot be helped if the case was about sexuality. A lot of people in this world are bothered by things like him being gay or her being a lesbian. In the video clip of Judith Butler's speech, she asked a question, "Why would someone be killed for the way they walk?" It was actually not fair for the guy who was killed just by walking differently. In addition, the group of guys that Butler mentioned was obviously full of pride. Furthermore, they do not want their masculinity to be stained by some random guy walking like a girl. It does not make sense at all, I mean that everyone here on Earth is different and has their own unique qualities like a trademark for their entire being so why exterminate someone that is different from you and he or she does not even bother you. This should be prevented in order for other scenarios such as this to not happen ever again. People should just respect and mind their own genders to begin with and it is pride what drives these unreasonable actions to take place.

We all have different qualities and there is no such thing as normal. We are all people. We live on the same planet. We all breath the same air. If people where to look on these cases then there should be no problem at all. I do not get the fact that the guy who walked different has to pay the debt that he did not even have right from the beginning. Why should different people pay the price of being unique?

  1. I totally agree with you Jordan. Why did the kid have to live such a harsh life and suffer such a cruel faith for being different. Uniqueness has always been a part of humanity. Why must it be so hard for humans to be open minded? our pride clouds our judgment and that trait weakens us and causes fear and war. If we weren't so prideful maybe that kid would still be alive today
