HATE WHY?

Blog Last Activity 11 years ago 435 views 6 comments
You know i've been on GBT a short time and ever time i read the blogs i read, someone must say something very hurtful or very stupid about his blog in the comments, Hold on one damn second, have we gone back into time? Shit you young cats need to sit down and listen to the older gay generation and listen to there dark days stories it will make your hair stand on end. Now take me yes i am a old jar head (U.S. Marines). and i am 59 and have lived and seen that Dark side being gay. This young gay generation are free and open and very little hostility being who you are gay. Today you are free to walk down the street holding hands or give a kiss to the one you love, march gay pride parade, hell we have our own gay pride flag. I call that open independence and free.Shit in my teenage days my dad beat my ass for being myself, Let me till you liveing back then was a living hell. you keep to your self and keep your gay life in a box with a big lock. Just saying you where gay could get you lock up or worst killed. You where lower then scum of the earth, you where not fit to live in society, ho it gets better if you where young teenager thay would lock you up and throw away the key,. Hell cops would turn thair backs while the beat the shit out of some poor gay in the wrong place. If you brave enough to find some to have a little fun you keep it lock behind doors. and it was a secret you kept close. So please before you put someone down remember this "we come along way baby". leave the hate, and big bad negative back in the dark days, we are a free open gay community and have to far to start puting down our brothers and family a frends. A lot of old vets who are open now, have fought a long hard battle here at home and other parts of the world to keep us all free and in doing so alot of good man & woman who are straight and gay gave their lives for us to be free as we are to day. in closing i would like to share this story about my boy hood teengae friend. I may 1972.I lost my frend/lover to hate he was only 17 years old. He was coming home when my frend was killed by six high school boys he knew and i also knew, tha dragged him behind thair truck over two miles just for being gay. We both were headed for bootcamp the next day. Before i left i buried my best frend. You ask the six boys will thay walk away after doing only jail time. Only you can stop the hate and bullying, what stories will your generation tall?? SEMPER FI

I was like 13 or 14 when Saddam Hussein was killed. We had a neighbor that danced around in the street like an idiot celebrating when it happened. I remember my dad said to me, "do you think its right to celebrate the death of another human being, no matter what they've done?" A few years later I was in high school when Bin Laden got half his head blown off. Guys in my school were daydreaming about being the one to actually pull the trigger. I just don't understand why people hate other people so much.

Great blog, One of the best ive seen for ages.I do feel for Young ,New members, who have
just joined this Site .They read the Blogs and can become disheartened by certain comments
of Hate and Negativity . Lets try to get along like a family and teach these young guys to be
proud of who they are, and lets be their Mentors ,in the way we behave !
