Rainbow and People

There was one time that I received ribbons with rainbow and pink-blue patterns. Each ribbon was in a separate event or I received it at different times. Anyways, it was free to get one ribbon with a safety pin or both sticker and ribbon. I knew it was no discrimination based on people’s appearances, everyone should be equal and it related to other terms being used in the government, politics, and the community.

There was one classmate in the Printmaking class at the university that looked like a male with short hair but had a deep female voice. He said that he had a girlfriend like he said one time in the class. His girlfriend was from Mexico and she has ties with her family. The project we were doing was Printing a River by the border. That topic was already redundant.

I was confused by one classmate. It may seem heterosexual at first, but maybe it was a woman. So, a lesbian perhaps. I shrugged it off thinking he was the male.

In high school, people always call other people “gay”. During that time, I was not thinking much of that word. People basically say inappropriate words and do not like one another. I get along with people who are still not considered “gay” or actually “gay”. We are classmates, though.

In the AP Government class in high school, a teacher mentioned about the Christian/Conservative baker vs the same-sex couple. The same-sex couple wanted a wedding cake for their upcoming event. But the baker refused and it was against his religious beliefs. The court rule in favor of the baker, not the same-sex couple.

I wished that case is turned around and protect everyone’s rights to get whatever cake they want. It does not matter the religion or the first amendment, it matters for equality among individuals. Still, everyone has their own views on politics.
