Its not just understanding how we live but what its like to live with out knowing or even knowing. Its like we are not here but really we are. People either pretend not to see us and others see us and get disgusted. No matter how people look at us we still have to stick together and not change who we are just because the churches are telling everyone that being Gay is a sin and the devils work. I mean look at divorce. Isn't the bible totally against it. Well there you have it. Divorce it there why isn't Gay rights. We live in a world that everyone doesn't know about and look at how we live. Its almost like we live in hiding because everyone is afraid, afraid of becoming someone everyone looks down upon. Everyone needs to come out and fight, fight for not only whats right but what they believe in as a person. Don't let some "homophobic" person change you. everyone should be able to be who they want and be with who they want.
Its scary to be Gay, Lesbian, or even Bi. We get shit from everyone, even others that are but haven't come out yet. There are those that are OMG hes totally Gay (Flairs) or there are those that go out with someone so they don't look Gay (Coverup). Either way you will eventually come out, but you need to know that you will be okay in life don't be afraid to show your true inner colors. You may be surprised at what could happen bad or good (hoping for good) :) haha. The world is scary no matter what so we just have to take the chance of being who we are no matter who knows and cares because the people that know and don't care keep close and the people that know and care don't let them get to you just tell them whatever and make them disappear out of you life, you don't need them.
Meeting people like you or that would be good to you if you told them is very hard. I suggest you tell everyone right as soon as you meet them. It makes it a lot less awkward in the long run, and if they aren't okay with it then there you have it you don't need them in your life. Stick to going to places that you know have a good environment for you to go. Hang out with good people do good things. Don't be scared to ask questions to see if people would be okay with it. Talk about celebs you know are Gay and if they get into a "good" convo about it then you know your good to tell them. Talk to everyone about it if you've known them a long while and tell them how you feel. Don't go in my direction and not talk about it at all, because it never gave me justice and still isn't. Talking actually tells them you are serious about it and your not changing your mind. See i need to take my own advice. Ill tell you if I ever do. :) ha.
