writes:Something that continues to grate on my nerves is the hatred I see directed at gays. People, in general, tend to support individualism...encourage to be yourselves. But, unfortunately, they often have a limit to that support. When it comes to homosexuality, some just downright despise it, and they let you know it. We are just too quick to judge, and don't spend enough time truly "putting ourselves in the other person's shoes". Being gay isn't an "accessory"...an awesome pair of shoes to go with your fashionable outfit, if you will. Being gay is a PART of you. We spend most of our lives discovering ourselves, if not all. Why interrupt that crucial time by criticizing and judging one another? Why do we continue to expect each other to be like someone else? Everybody is different...and your imperfections should be seen as beautiful...something to differentiate you from others around you. And yet, when we see someone different, we turn up our noses, and foolishly believe that we are better than them, when really, it is the OTHER way around. The better person is the one who has strived to discover themselves, through blood and tears, and hateful glares. We are all different. Don't be so quick to judge when you can learn SO much from those around you. Reply to this Article

 Sexuality is more of a spectrum (this one is limited for convienense) from White to black. With EVERY shade of grey in-between. There's 100% gay/straight on opposite sides. No one is 100%... No matter what anyone says, NO ONE is 100% gay or straight. People will always have urges or wonder about what things would be like.I wouldn't class myself as 100% gay because I could quite easily kiss a girl and I can admire a beautiful girl but to be quite honest I could never be in a straight relationship. but I've still got that straight hint in me, not much but enough not to be 100%.. And that is the case in all people. Obviously bisexuality exists within the 40-60 but could be higher if they had a more extreme preferences maybe 30-70. Xx Beasty xX
