"LOOK" (trigger dont know)
Look!
I am 24 and am gay. I am writing this article because I am tired of the people, young and old, I have met in this world fearing, misunderstanding, and hating the gays that live in fear of so called normal people. I find that people have problems with gays coz of fear, fear of the unknown. And that makes it a major problem for those of us that are gay. Coz we are then forced to live our lives in fear of people that are reacting to their fear and turning it into hate and other forms of harmful reactions, and thus choose to beat us up for something we have no control over at all.
I knew I liked boys and not girls ever since I was nine or ten years old, but didnt put the liable gay with it till I was thirteen years old. I didnt have my first boyfriend until I was 20, due to the fear I had at the time and still do. I didnt want to be gay, it was never a choice, and I didnt just wake up one morning and say ok now Im gay. As in everyone's lives, lessons must be learned, and sometimes the lessons are painful. But, I must ask is it wrong to love. It is just love, what is everyone so scared of? I have had many painful lessons all because I am different form the so called normal people, and all coz I am gay. Its just love. What is everyone so afraid of?
I dont understand why gays are treated with such discrimination they say all are free in America, but gays. We have equal rights in the USA, but the fags. We have equal employment, but gays get fired everyday and nothing is done about it. there are laws on sexual harassment, except for gays. Anyone can get married, but the gays. Yet the people say oh we have it that way coz gose with the bible. Well, if I recall Jesus invited the gay man into his home, and said also love your neighbor. He never said invite people in to your homes but not the fags, and love your neighbor unless he is gay. The bible as a whole teaches one thing, and one thing only. It teaches love. You say you follow Jesus, but when it comes to the fags. I dont see how Jesus would like that. May the person that has not sinned cast the first stone and not one stone was cast. I think you should stop worrying about hurting the guy or girl coz they are gay and start worrying about teaching your self to love like Jesus would want you to.
You say to hide our relationships. So you can feel safe, so you dont have to see us, so you can have the world work your way, well Im sorry but we are here and here to stay, that is life. No, life is not fair for you or me. If you must ask me to hide my relationships I would have to ask you to hide your relationships. Do I ask you to hide your true feelings? I would never disrespect you in such a rude and hateful way.
I leave you with a few questions. What are you so scared of? Is it love that you are afraid of? Are you scared that the 10% of us that are gay are going to reach out and change your DNA? (Coz that cant happen.) Are you afraid to learn that we are just like you in everyway but for what makes us all individuals, you and us alike? So what if we like the same sex and you do not. I may like fat free milk and you may not is that a reason to fear and hate me. I like say, white street lights and you may like yellow street lights, same rule applies. Do you think we want to hurt you? coz we dont. yes there are some bad hateful people out there that happen to be gay, straight, or bi. Why cant we put those people in jail and let the rest of us live in peace regardless what our sexual orientation is. When I came out and told I was gay most people hated me. I ask why? Coz you are scared I am going to hit on you before you get to know the real me and realize I like you for nothing more than a friend and I would never disrespect you or anyone else by hitting on them or coming on to them. You will find that most gays are all about respect and want nothing more than friendship from everyone. Thats right, peace, respect and friendship. Is that to much to ask. You tell me you are straight and or you tell me nothing about your sexual preference and I will like you the same, JUST AS A FRIEND. The same kind of friend as if I were straight. But, you will not give me the chance to get to know you and for you know me.
Then there are the parents, the adults. They are the reason I didnt come out until I was in my twenties. Why cant kids and young adults get more respect. We dont get the respect we truly deserve coz older adults think and sometimes do know better than us and what is best for us. So older kids, teens, and young adults are treated like two year olds. The older adults think because of their age they know what is best for us and will not listen to what we say is best for us. And then, when things dont work out whos at fault? The younger person is at fault. Why? Coz the older adult would not listen. And they ask why a guy being hurt feels like he will not be believed. Kind of sounds like a stupid question now huh? Yes I know dealing with kids and young adults is not easy and it is dam sure not easy for the kids and young adults to deal with older adults. It was said: Some rebel against it,(that I have said) and some succumb to the pressure. Either way, trouble is just waiting so strike. For the hurt guy here I found that if I kept all of these feelings and memories bottled up then I would one day have a major beak down, and I was told this also by older adults. The same older adults who turned around later and said to put those feelings back in the bottle. Well what the heck! Make up your mind if you are going to try to rule our life and say we dont know what love is or we dont know how to love or what we feel or that we know what is right or wrong. Coz we just might know what we are talking about even if you cant get over your self to realize it! gay or not we just might know! Maybe its time you ask and then listen! So look at me, look at you, look at what I am saying to you. STOP THE HATE AND HURT!
