Racism, homophobia...

I didn't know what to title this blog, but before I start ranting I have to stress that I have a BIG opinion on what I'm going to talk about. Another thing I should mention is that I'm bisexual myself, and completely open and honest about it.

Well I'm not sure where to start, but heres an example and hopefully you will get the jist.

A black man walks into a cafe, and someone makes a racist remark towards him. Everyone jumps on this, and he's eventually thrown out the cafe, with a bunch of people chasing after him.
A gay man walks into the same cafe, and someone makes a homophobic remarks. What happens? Nothing. No drama, nothing.

This bugs me, a lot. I know it's probably because im homosexual myself, but I think it's disgusting. I know they're too very extreme situations, but how can people sit back and just watch people do something like that? Don't you realise someone has just been humiliated, in a lot of cases, publically. It's so harsh. It's happened to me a fair few times, and it's well, three things in my own mind. Awkward, embarassing and offensive. I don't understand how you can jump on something that is wrong, but not on something else thats wrong. You can't change your race, you can't change your sexuality. It's wrong.

This might seem a bit confusing but in my own mind it isn't. And it's an opinion I've had for as long as I can remember.

Comments, and followers. I'm lonely. D; Thankyou for reading.

This is just an introduction

I have no idea where I got this idea from or where it came about but I've pretty much past caring about what people think, so if someone calls me a nerd for having a blog, screw you (Y). This is just an introduction as I have no idea what I'm going to put on these yet, as I've mentioned, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be used for ranting (as i appear to do this a lot to people when they don't want it, sorry). I'm pretty sure I'm mainly going to rant about matters that exist everyday and relate to a lot of people rather than myself, but who knows, you may get the odd rant on something completely irrelivant. :')

So yeah, firstly, I'm Jake. However, most people would know be as Jakeub. No, my name is not legally Jacob, it's Jake. A personal joke that happened about a year ago between me and a few friends means that I now call myself Jakeub. I like it, don't ask me why. I'm 15, don't look or act any younger or older in my own opinion. However ask some, they'll say I act younger. Cheeeeers. I live in a small, boring town called Bedford. Shoppings crap, theres nothing to do but it's my social ground, which is pretty decent. Can't complain.

What else?

I want to be a fashion photographer when I grow up, and I'm pretty determined to get there. I own a Fujipix S5800 which is okay, not a DSLR but it's my baby, hard to detatch yourself from it. If you check my links out you can see my flickr. And yeah, I can't think of anything else to write. But I'm going to try and come up with some decent things to talk about, original stuff. :') Follow me. Thankyou bloggers.
