Coming out the closet today

[slipknotpsycho]

i've always wondered what people are trying to do/say when they make a big deal out of being gay like this. you want to be treated like everyone else, yet you feel the need to express to this little world your sexual preference? are you looking for a congratulations or a pat on the back?

nothing against gays of course. unless they're extremely flambouyant. cause that's just annoying

i beleive it's a lil deeper then that... my guess would be, since gay people are one of the top hated 'groups' they feel unaccepted... by actually coming out and "making a big deal of it" they're reassuring themselves that it's ok.... and that they are accepted...

Hi hon, and welcome! :dance: It has always seemed a little silly to me to judge a person on just one aspect ( gay, "race", religion, pot, gender, etc.) of who they are. People are SO much more than who they go to bed with! I don't claim to understand being gay, but I do understand love- been married to the same guy for about 40 years. Hope you find your right person, too. - Granny:hippy:

Alright, man, good for you! :thumbsup: Just don't go west Hollywood, unless you're actually in west Hollywood. I guess what I mean is, be gay as you can be, but don't make straight paranoid men uncomfortable. We're no different from you but it feels like it sometimes.

I hate this, it sounds offensive but I don't mean it to be.

Burn the heaten!!!



Haha, just kidding man . That's great you can be honest with us, hopefully with your family, and most importantly with yourself . I really hope one day society will all wake up and nobody will have to have a closet to come out of in the first place.

There is rarely any type of prejudice around here. And most people in society couldn't care less. As for me, I have had minor conflicts with my sexuality in the past. And if there is anything I learned, it is that you cannot expect other's to accept you, if you cannot accept yourself. And if you can't accept yourself, then you had better change.

Hahaha you said "Im gonna get STRAIGHT to the point" but anyways, I think BA might be on to something.. blizzy why havent you responded yet? If you are making a joke then shame on you. If you are being serious, then I apologize, and wish you luck!
