This past week I was in the mall and I found myself walking behind two women who were holding hands. I can only assume that they were lesbians because not too many grown women walk hand in hand down a hallway. I found myself staring at them, at their hands, and thinking how dare they walk like this in a mall where families and children are. I didn’t think that it was right for them to be doing this. I became angry and upset. I almost wanted to say something to them, but I didn’t. They shouldn’t be publicly showing their affection for one another like that. It wasn’t right. I was behind them for about two or three minutes and then they ended up going into a store. I was relieved when they were out of my sight. After I thought about what I had just seen and how I had acted, I realized that I was wrong for acting that way. I shouldn’t judge a person because they want to show their love and affection towards another human being. Unfortunately, I am the perfect example if how society views people that don’t conform to their likings. People look down on those who are different and that is wrong. The two women that I saw were not harming anyone. They weren’t making out or causing a scene. They were just walking hand in hand down the hallway enjoying their lives. I wasn’t doing anything to stop them; I was just making myself angry and upset.
