Like really, I get so sick of the unfairness of not having the same right as heterosexuals. sometimes I just wanna grab my partner's hand or just hug him and I can't, beacuse there's people around. we always have to lurk in the shadows waiting for evryone to clear the area just so we can kiss. my boyfriend is a teacher at elementary school and he doesn't want his co workers or students to know he is gay, so he keeps a really low profile (in the closet low) and I'm so tired of this...lately i've told him but he doesn't undertsand, he just flips and I don't know what to do....i guess I'm just venting or w/e.
Don't you guys sometimes think about the future for the LGBT people?

Even though he got rid of the don't ask don't tell policy, gays are very discriminated against in the military, especially in the infantry. It sucks and I hate how people have the right to put us down because some magical book says that some man in the cloud said being gay was bad! Well, if we are truly gay, then god probably has a gay side too! Take that America!

The best thing I can say is to fully come out and tell him how you feel. Don't let him side track the conversation. Really grit your teeth and tell him how you feel. A relationship is a two way street. He has to give and you do too. So let him give a little.

I never think about the future of others.
How can I even begin to imagine the lives of someone else when mine is so incredibly unclear?
Rather, I tend to imagine my own future life, how perhaps one day I have the courage to stand up and shout at the top of my lungs. It really doesn't matter what I'm shouting but rather that people are listening and maybe they aren't agreeing but they're understanding.
I hate how in order for people to gain rights there has to be some sort of shift of beliefs where the spotlight goes from one mass of unfortunate souls and fixates on another.
The only thing I imagine for the lives of others in the future is that maybe, just maybe, people will be able to open their minds up and rather than cry out that their rights are being infringed upon they go and do something about it.
Eew, I'm all philosophical right now.

Some people there wouldnt think twice to kick the s**t out of a gay guy. There have been times where someone from afar sees us kiss and they point and ridicule. We have to hide in abandoned houses and ally ways... It's demoralizing... I feel like an animal sometimes....

If I lived somewhere else, it's entirely possible that I would hate being gay. Where I live, I have the same rights as everyone else, and open homophobia isn't very common. I am well aware that I am very, very fortunate to live here, and I try not to ever let myself take it for granted. As encouraging as it is to see how much things have changed, even in the last 10 years, it's still very depressing to think about how much farther there is to go.

The only reason I hate being gay is because I consider any kind of exclusive sexual identity stupid, be it straight, gay, or whatever. I have a friend and we would make a great couple but there's no attraction whatsoever on my part and it sucks, and I'm sure that could go for straight people as well.
On the other hand, I'm such an egotistical nutcase that I can't hate being gay because it's a part of me. Hence, it is vastly superior to most of my peers and a large majority of most people I meet. heart

I know how you feel. It's demoralizing and unfair. Luckily I grew up in an accepting area, but when I moved... I was afraid of revealing I was bi for risk of injury. If I find a guy I love, I want to be able to kiss and hug him like I would anybody I love. Sad how despite so much tolerance that that can't happen in a lot of places...

Don't you guys sometimes think about the future for the LGBT people? I can never understand what it must be like for homosexuals. I've never had that stigma. I have no idea what it is like to have to avoid kissing my girlfriend in public, for fear of what others may say or do. Honestly, thinking about it frightens me. As a heterosexual man, I can only try to imagine what it must be like. However, when you say "Think about the Future" I see great things on the horizon. Don't Ask Don't Tell? Gone. Defense of Marriage Act? The US Government is moving away from it? Public support for Marriage Equality? Polls have gone up twenty points in eight years. Things are already changing, they are changing fast, and they will continue to change. We are really on the verge of something great here. Things can really only get better from here. And it's not just in America. Progress is happening, and it can't be avoided.

I think everyone feels this way at one point or another. But I personally feel that I am perfect with being gay and even if I could change it I wouldn't because it shouldn't be a problem and I am willing to fight the fight so that others after me will not have to. People will always pick out a group to mess with and we just happened to be the one they picked, the one they knew they could get away with picking. At the very least its getting better. There's been plenty of setbacks but for the most part, I'd say we're kind of lucky. If we were gay a while back it would have been illegal completely.

I feel like some sort of freak that doesn't even have the right to live. where I live Homophobia is encouraged by parents on their kids, even on Local TV and radio we get called 'Faggots' instead of Gays.

It is frustrating.
