Jonghyun and Gay Rights

So a couple days ago, Jonghyun changed his twitter profile picture to this photo of a letter about how gays should be treated as equal and that we're humans too etc. Jonghyun also direct messaged the author of the letter saying that he supports them and that he supports LGBT and all that.

 

Honestly I was surprized on how mad people have gotten over it! Like, it made no sense to me at all! I know there are people out there that write fan fic, read fan fic [even fan fic] with other male idols [Jongkey, Minkey, etc] and they ship them and will go down with that ship but the minute the actual member even supports equality people turn their backs on them! Like...wtf...what about all of those fics you wrote? Or that you read? Or that ship you said you'd never abandon? I think those people need a reality check and a hypocrite remover injected into them.

 

I've also seen this sort of stuff happen with EXO's Kris and Tao a while ago. There was a facebook page I liked that took a picture of a chinese magazine article that had TaoRis in there. Turns out the magazine was a gay magazine and the article was talking about how they could secretly be dating or something blah blah blah and in the comment section there were so many people writing all of these horrible things about how they would turn their backs on EXO [mainly M] if this was all true and that they would want Taoris to go to hell and all that. Like REALLY? I thought EXO was your favorite group?!

 

From what I heard, Jonghyun has gotten hate messages saying that he's going to hell, saying that they're going to leave the SHINee fandom, that they're going to hate them for the rest of their lives, etc. I found out from one of my friends that a girl even broke her SHINee CDs just because of this! I think she even broke her SHINee world concert DVD. Like really? You're gonna do that JUST because he stands up for equal rights? This stuff just really irritates me to the max.

 

For reals though, if Taeny announced that they were an official couple then I would jump for joy! I'd be parading around the city all happily! I would have their backs because I ship them! Because I support them! I write fics about them, I read fics about them, and they're a ship I will go down with no matter what! That goes for any of the other ships I proudly sail with! If ANY of them ever came out or even just publically supported the LGBT community in general then I would be completely happy!

 

I just can't understand why the minute all of this becomes a reality, everyone turns their back on the idols. Why? You ship them, you write fics and you read fics. It makes no sense to me. What difference would it make? People that ship them to the ends of the Earth should be happier because now everything they imagined has a bigger possibility of coming true! Those fics you read could be true! Those little love fics based on that fan cam or something is probably what REALLY happened! So why are these haters trying to say it isn't true when they're the ones that essentially thought it up in the first place? I just don't get it guys.

 

Still, I wanna thank Jonghyun for standing up for the LGBT community. It's great to know that an idol from a big company announced that they stand up for equal rights. Did anyone else notice that Jongkey are the only members in SHINee [so far] that have openly announced that they support gay marriage?

This might be so late but.... I'm being bored and read ranting blogs so I need to comment on this.

Those people who turned their back on Jonghyun just because of this... I can't even put it to word, and even sending hate messages? Saying he's going to hell? Dude, he's standing up for others, the minority. They on the other side, hating on people just because they're being who they are, falling in love with someone? Ahahah. Okay those people can go to hell instead. They were talking about hell and stuff... They should know that God makes no mistakes, so being gay isn't wrong. They're just different. Thus, "different doesn't mean wrong." Seriously I'm kinda glad those fake shawols left the fandom. Now only the real shawols that would support them no matter what are left. Plus, it's his decision. Even if he's gay, so freaking whatttttttt it's not like he was gonna marry them if he really is straight. Those people really need a good slap so they'll be back to reality. Seriously if they read jongyu, jongkey, jongho, or jongtae and against this.... I don't even know what's going on in their head. I've never been a blinger (as in, I love him but he never was my bias in the group) but now.. I am proud to be a shawol and a blinger.

I am proud to be a Shawol. I feel like Jonghyun is gonna be my second bias of SHINee. And hate letters. Well, THEY can go to Hell because that's just imposing on the human rights of others. I really hate those hypocritical fans, I mean, you ship them, read them and write them, but, if it's real, you abandon the group?! I don't ship, but, if any of those couples were real, I'd be very happy for them. And I would NEVER abandon any of my groups because of that, because that's what makes a true fan. I respect Jonghyun for standing up for fellow humans and I'm sorta part of LGBT because of me being bi-curious.

And if anyone throws around a Bible verse, I'll remind them of "Love your neighbour as you love yourself"

I love Jonghyun no matter what. He's not a bully and that makes me PROUD to be a Shawol.

I'm amazed at how hypocritical some fans can be. They're okay with fanfiction but in real life they hate gay people? How cruel...just cruel. I'd love my groups regardless gay or not gay. That's what a fan should do. I think it's cool Jonghyun's sticking up for the LGBT community :) They are people to and should be treated as people.

I completely agree with every line. But you know what? I'm happy that they don't have THIS kind of fan anymore. This isn't a fan, it's a human shame. But don't assume all these people are shippers. I know some people who only ship straight couples and absolutely hate when we make an idol gay. Maybe the girl who broke a DVD is one of them. I seriously don't understand why so much hate over someone being gay. On the other hand, yes, I have some friends who ship TaeNy to death but... They can't accept that one of them might be gay. They say we're deluded if we think they could (TaeNy) actually be more than friends. Honestly? I think that believing there's no gay idol in K-Pop groups... Oh THAT's a delusion! Artistic environment no matter where is usually full of gays! "-.- Oh, and Taeyeon already showed her support to LGBT communities publicly. She said in an interview to a magazine that "as long they love each other, she has nothing against it." Also, this year she posted pictures with men dressed as women on Instagram and defended them when people started saying to her that they weren't "good company". I'm so proud of these idols! Wish they had more conscious fans... =/

Ohh crap! Those peoples don't really know what true love . Lol.
But really, even if they oppose the idea of Jjong supports LGBT they should just leave him alone, don't you think so? Because it's his right to support anything that he wants or whatever are they. It's not like my beloved Jjong turns them all gay anyway.

So these people that hate, you're sure they're the ones that read the gay ?
But all those fools. What these s really need to do for even just one ing second is take a moment to really think about the situation. If all they're gonna do is throw out bible verses in their defense then I'm sorry but they'll have to think again. Their bigoted views are so ingrained into their small minds that they won't even stop to think about the matter, so them. All we gotta show is double the support tbh.
