Particularly if no one had first asked? Doesn't it sorta speak most of their worries and fears... Why should being gay or bi be worrying, or fearsome?
It's the reactions some exhibit to that possibility which appear so to me.
I agree Nicki, That's why I wrote what I wrote. I'm pretty new to the forums and didn't really know what to expect here and really just thought it was something talked about freely but looking back though maybe I sounded touchy about it or something. Like I should throw in the Seinfeld "not that there's anything wrong with it" .
In my much younger years a long time ago I actually did look down on gay people a bit, even while secretly dressing. But as time wore on and I opened up more and actually got to know some gay people personally I realized what great human beings they are and how there really isn't anything wrong with being who you are. Sometimes that's not so easy to figure out when society sets up certain "norms" that are to be accepted. Especially hard when you're young and want to fit in. With age comes wisdom right?
