Phylosophe

In Judith Butler's article "Phylosophe" she talks about how a boy was thrown off of a bridge and died just because people didn't like the way he walked. Why is it so wrong for someone to want to be who they are and not have to be afraid of getting bullied for it. People should not be put down for who they are or who they want to be. Also why do people care so much about the way others walk or talk? It is their life and they should be able to do whatever they please. It should not matter whether a boy acts feminine or a girl acts masculine but for some reason it does. I think that people refuse to except that the world is changing, 100 years ago it would almost be impossible to come out and say that you are gay or lesbian because it was just not allowed. Now even though it is not fully accepted in society people are more willing to accept you for who you are. Not saying everyone will accept or not accept you but society has gotten better. No matter if you are straight, gay, lesbian or whatever you choose to be there are always going to be people who will not like the person you are. It sucks that people have to put other people down, whatever their reasoning is. It is not right and should never lead to the murder of someone.
