Gay ignorance still astounds me.
Ran into a friend of mine today at the local Wal-Mart. We talked for a good half an hour about many things, but the one minute topic we got onto about gay people really struck me.<br /><br />We started talking about the Loony Toons from the Westboro Baptist Church picketing gay funerals and such, and she said something that made me laugh:<br /><br />"I don't hate gay people. They just have something wrong with their head."<br /><br />I have been attracted to boys since I was 13. There is nothing wrong with me. And there is nothing wrong with you. Nobody in my world knows how I feel because I happen to like girls as well so I have sucessfully been able to mask it for a long time. It is ignorance that drives people to hide who they are. It is ignorance that makes LBGT kids want to kill themselves because they start believing the comments about something being wrong with them.<br /><br />I sit here and imagine what my friend would have said if I came out and told her that I have wanted to ride boys since I was 13. (Okay, I wouldn't have said it quite that way, but still...)<br /><br />What a world we live in.
Though we don't know the age of the woman from this blog, she wasn't even old!
