Anyone attending any Pride events? Pride in my area is in July, I will try to go but I don't know if I'll be able to find anyone to go with me.
I usually do. More for the free condoms then anything, but it's kind of cool being around so many good looking guys that are actually INTO guys.
Go Faces!!! That's really awesome!!
Well thank you.
Win Faces, utter Win!
Thank you too.
People in my town don't come out until after high school if they are gay. There was one lesbian in my brother's graduating class and people would talk about her behind her back a lot. I remember some girls complaining that she was allowed to use the girl's locker room. How ridiculous is that?
And this really slutty girl started going out with a new chick their senior year (when I was a junior). People talked about that, but I think they mostly did it for attention. Lots of PDA.
I didn't come out as bi until I started college. And most people in my hometown probably don't know.
I never actually came out. I was more or less outed by myself unintentionally . Basically when I was in my sophomore year of highschool I had a Ford Ranger. I drove up to my school one night to just hang out with some friends, and this guy that I had a crush on. We used to play football on my highschools field after dark with one of those glow in the dark NERF balls, just because it's too hot to play during the day time. Well after we were all tired, and ready to go home, I offered to give my crush a ride home. He accepted, and I professed to him that I had a crush for him. Well, it turned out that he was Bi, which I didn't know. I was parked in the front of my school where the staff parks, and I had a camper on my truck at the time. I usually kept a few blankets and crap in the back in case I would get home late, and I didn't want to wake up my dad by coming in the door, so I would just sleep in the truck. Well long story short we fell asleep in the back of my truck with the camper hatch and windows open for air, and I guess in the morning we were half naked, embraced, and the principal was kind of pissed off I was in his spot. I woke up, to the principal banging on my truck telling me to wake up and get dressed. Well it was already around 6:30 AM, and the busses and everybody else was just getting to school, so me and Jason had to get dressed in front of what was probably a good 30%-50% of the student body.
I really didn't care, and the principal apologized for embarrassing me, and explained that he really didn't realize. Luckily my school had/has a pretty large homosexual community, and it's really not uncommon to see gay couples. But it was still pretty embarrassing at the time.
I think people like to use religion as justification for their homophobia. Zealots are mostly scary. I thought christianity was about being loving and accepting? I don't think Jesus would be happy with those people. I'm atheist myself, but just saying.
Well, people are going to hate you for one reason or another. It doesn't really matter if it's for your skin, sexuality, political views, or just your social standing. If you're going to hate, then hate. Obviously they have something to be jealous of, so I love haters. Just as long as they don't confront me about it, then I won't stand on their neck until they apologize.
