Can't we just agree to disagree . . .
Thursday, February 25, 2010
Tonight Josh and I were watching TMZ (celeb gossip . . . it's our guilty pleasure). Well, the paparazzi were talking to Ms. "Beverly Hills." They asked her what she thought about gay marriages. The thing about TMZ is that they make celebs look dumb and they twist their words and instigate further drama. Well, the girl replied by saying something like, "Well, I don't agree with them" and they immediately starting mocking her and said that "the last time it was cool to disagree with gay marriages was 1969" and that "she is a poor resemblance of Beverly Hills" simply because she said that she disagrees with gay marriage. She also said that she has gay friends (Yeah, I know, doesn't say much, just like seceretly racist people always "have black friends"). To top it off, Beverly Hills wrote her off by saying that she does not represent them and they do not sponsor her.
What I am wondering is since when was it a problem for people to express their ideas and opinions? Oh wait, I know, since it doesn't match the majority of other's ideas and opinions, that's right. It's like people jump down your throat if you don't agree with their opinions or if you try to justify your opinion, they attack you. You have your opinion just like I have mine. Can't we just agree to disagree and take our own stands? I think that sometimes people get so wrapped up in wanting to be liked that they are willing to sacrifice their morals and values. For example, practically every celebrity supports gay marriage and pro-choice and "Obama '08" that it's really hard to believe that they all really feel that way. I don't believe it for a minute. It's what is in and they can't stray from the majority. I wish there were more celebrities that weren't afraid to take a stand and speak out for what they really believe in.
