Just had to do this.
Great posts, everyone. And I mean
everyone. Well, those who know the thick and thin of this very demarcated issue at hand.
I don't think I have the time to pour out my entire life story on here, but generally speaking, I'd like to add that confrontations of homosexuality aren't necessarily always bad.
I had a great upbringing. I knew from almost I was born that I was gay, and it felt natural, and the desires and thoughts were just as much a part of me as breathing, living was.
My family, friends, even at school, knew, and I came out to both Catholic schools, the second high school with which I had better consequences.
The first - I was still a little young and learning how to navigate my way into this world, so in a way, I brought it on myself... But I knew generally, I'd never cop such flak the way you guys have been talking about.
It's Australia. It's a society of people where they won't judge, persecute or string you up with ropes.
But that's me. I had good vibes about people, and knew that when, how and why I came out, they'd have to deal in different ways, but pretty much with indifference.
The only 'struggle' if any that was directly linked to sexuality, was that it does NOT make for a good coffee table conversation - ie the straights versus
one gay, if you get my drift...
But in times of one-on-one, the most loyal will ask you what it's like to be gay, even going so far to coaxing me to tell them about the finer details of.. sex. And this guy had a girlfriend; and he's straight, don't worry.
Look,
bosef wrote a brilliant message: succinct, hard hitting, and blows the lids of all cylinders, because that's what the people of ignorance, hypocrisy and subliminal judgement need. I mean, anything we write, we set the record straight.
There's a link that, while long, makes you think on the other side of heterosexuality: why is this
not a choice? Who decides we wake up one day and decide we're heterosexual....? Are we persecuted for this, when we go to a school full of gay students...?
