Colin Farrell and brother Eamon
Colin Farrell loves his brother Eamon, he served as best man at his wedding, and by the way Eamon is gay. Colin has spoken about his confusion at bigoted ppl who tortured his brother.
He says, "I can't remember much about the years of physical and emotional abuse my brother Eamon suffered. I was very small. The thing I do remember though, quite literally, is blood on his school shirt when he came home in the afternoon. The beatings and taunting were very frequent for him and a constant part of his school years.
"People are often afraid of difference. They feel that anything that causes fear, should be turned away from. My brother represented fear for so many people, but caused joy in my life. From a very young age he made me laugh with his intelligence and wit, made me aspire to his strength and goodness. He was to be embraced.
"To many of the students of his school however he was to be feared. He was to be turned away from. I didn't understand it then, and I still don't now."
Fear makes ppl do evil things, the worst part is the corrupt Christians who preach love and then spew hate when they condemn gays and rob them of equal rights. In 2010 you would think we would have our sh*t together by now, maybe we need to wait another 2000 years?
