It seems so impossible to me to even think that some day I could have a boyfriend and not be fired or verbally assaulted. I've realized that I am gay and nothing will change that, but I'm still not confident that I could achieve everything I want in life when being openly gay.

@7s49 Surprise yourself :)

Wow seriously a man and a woman are meant to be together, not two guys or two girls. It's disgusting if you ask me! They should outlaw gay marriage because it is morally wrong! I dont see what the fun in being gay is, it's just down right horrible, and just EEWWWWWWWWW

[paharrisonnc]

@adamken4 While you certainly have a right to feel that way, I'd say from a moral/religious standpoint it's worse to be hateful and disparaging (as you are in your comments) than it is to embrace your true identity and love the people you can't help but love. Not to mention the fact that I don't believe in the bible--it was written by a bunch of old white men in power, so naturally they're going to condemn everything that seems threatening to their establishment.

thank you for this really positive message to young gays. I wish you and your partner nothing but the very best for your future together.

@adamken4 You're probably gay yourself since you are so obsessed with gay stuff. At the end of the day most homophobes are gay ;)

@paharrisonnc lol I don't want to wait till college! If I can be really open-minded why can't other people!
