Love and freedom are fundamental human rights and urges

Love and Freedom Are Two of the Most Fundamental Human Rights and Urges. Love for your family, your friends, and the person you choose, who chooses you in return. If that is taken away from us, what is left that makes us human? Our anatomy? Our intelligence? The fact that we belong to this animal species?

The claim that same-sex love and relationships are unnatural falls apart the very moment you actually take a look at nature. There are countless animals in nature that change their sex, engage in same-sex relationships, species in which males become pregnant, etc.

Every animal has that right and the freedom.

We cannot stop them, so why should we stop ourselves? We are an inseparable part of nature, and freedom is the natural state of every animal. The freedom to love whoever we want.

Love is not something tangible that someone can steal, take away, or physically stop. It is what sets us apart: our capacity for emotion and empathy. If everyone had it, the world would be a better place, but unfortunately, a large number of people lack it.

That is why it is important to raise awareness about the LGBT+ community and understand that outdated, narrow-minded, and conservative views stem from ignorance, a lack of information, insecurity, and a lack of intelligence. If you are not part of the LGBT+ community, you should be an LGBT+ ally.

Having family members and friends who are part of the community was the beginning of my journey towards understanding and breaking down the old beliefs that our cultures teach us from birth, forcing us into a mould of anti-education.
