Welcome to Gaia! ::

so i was talking on another site about the biggest problems facing teens these days. i went through the typical problems of drugs, alcohol, family stress, etc and somewhere in there, i concluded that people are not often enough themselves and shouldn't worry so much about impressing others. they should be themselves and that includes not acting gay or hiding in the closet. well someone commented, thinking it was strange that people would actually FAKE being gay (haha, which does sound pretty crazy, but come on, we can't deny it happens)

then he asked if there was less of a stigma to being gay than there used to be.

this question, i leave to you to discuss. is there? does it depend on location? does it depend on how people are raised? is it just the same? maybe worse? what do you think?
