I think maybe it is difficult for most people to accept gay or lesbian in my country. But for me, I respect every person's life style.

it's really nice to see a video about homophobia with a specifically lesbian point of view. i feel like all videos are either predominantly gay men or only gay men. it's to the point where i hardly even know how the other side feels and what unique struggles they go thru because they are a gay woman and not a gay man.

also, thank you to that teacher, i can't believe her courage. it's so frustrating she got fired. she should have been promoted.

@annbayardlowreymasse - A few of us, so-called straight people, are "enlighted". I don't hate nor disapprove of LGTB people. To each their own, and anyone has the right to express their love and their sexuality in way that fills them. I feel sorry that, because of homophobic scum, people are suffering to the point of thinking about killing themselves. We humans call ourselves "homo sapiens" (wise men) and we cannot even accept we all are different?

"LGBT" and "gay and lesbian" have the same amount of syllables (not to mention "LGBT" is shorter to write) and yet so many people only use the latter. -sigh-

@samusamu I agree. gay & lesbian suicide is a world wide epidemic!

Be Well, Jeanne in Manhattan

Well ,when I realized that i was a lesbian , I was really excited and happy :/

So its weird to see these other girls saying that they thought something was wrong with them when they realized they were bi/gay..............
