Discrimination is not just race,ethnicity, or gender
its also sexual orientation. I'm sure a lot of you already know that. But how is it that gays/lesbians/bi/trans are getting more hate? (If they aren't it could of fooled me). I myself am Bisexual and I am proud. I did not choose to be this way, I did not choose to be hated or be made fun of in middle school when I decided to come out, then turn around and say "Oh, I was just kidding". It really crawls under my skin when I see either a group of guys/girls or an older couple just glare at a gay/lesbian couple for just holding hands. I mean they are people too. They have feelings, they can feel pain, they know how to love. Don't they have every right to fall in love as the next straight couple? I've heard about these organizations where they turn gays/lesbians "straight" just so they can be apart of society. Maybe I'm just blind when it comes to this, but I feel it is an insult to those who are gay/lesbian/bisexual. Its like saying "Hey we don't accept you, so YOU have to change so you can be apart of society". Why is there so much hate against gays/lesbians/bisexual people? I don't think its a choice to be gay. I've actually seen some women claim to be bisexual just so a guy would talk to them or date them. Its sickening. If you do it just to experiment, then that is a totally different ball park, but to claim you are gay/lesbian/bisexual almost feels as though you are mocking the gay community. What are your thoughts?

I have to totally agree with you, I don't honestly understand it either. I think it might have to do with the fact that our society is so heavily christian and being into anyone of the same gender is a sin. I know thats how it is with my family. My boyfriend is bisexual, he's proud of the fact that he is, he's made it clear, he doesn't feel any different about me than any straight guy I've been with, if not his feelings for me are stronger than the striaght guys. I know my parents know this about him, well my mom does, I'm not completely sure of my dad, but I know some of my other relatives would have a major problem with this, I don't understand why though, he didnt choose to be this way, he just is. I've experimented with the subject too, and it's just not me, but that doesn't mean it's not someone else's way of living. I don't see the problem, at all. Love is blind, you can't choose who you love based on gender, It's now life is. It's just different for everyone. Its like trying to tell someone what love is, because love is different to everyone. I don't understand why society feels everyone that isn't a straight person has to change when it's not that hard to accept, if two men are in love, fine, thats cool, or two girls are in love, why not? I don't see why its hard to accept for so many people. Although, I think it may also have to do with generation, because When my parents grew up that was just starting to openly happen and when my grandparents were my age, it didn't openly happen at all. It's your beliefs and generation I think that create your normal, so for our generation, we find it normal because that happens more now.
I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE!!!!!!!!!! I'm bisexual!! I'm coming out as soon as I get the courage to. Why can't gays/lesbians/bisexuals be treated the same and not be treated like they're not normal? I'm not-scratch that-NEVER going to go to a "group" where I become straight, because they are changing who we are, and your born either gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and you can't change that about yourself.
I totally agree with you when you say that women say they are bi when they really aren't and just want attention. That's why I'm so scared of coming out, I don't want people to think ooh she's only saying it because everyone else is doing it. That's not the reason, I know who I am and I know I'm not confused or anything like that. I didn't ask to have feelings for both guys and girls. I have no way of telling my family, and I really do want to...just can't.I was told not too long ago that my cousin is bi but I highly doubt that, she now goes to my school and I'm afriad to show effection to any girl because If she sees she will for sure go to my uncle saying " I didn't know Marie was bi" and if he goes to my mom with that then she's gunna for sure kick me out of the house, I'll have no where to go. Its not easy keeping this huge secret and living a lie. I just hope that one day I can come out to my family. Don't treat us like anyother than human, just cuz we aren't straight doesn't mean we don't feel offended. Tell you the truth I could careless what people think of me, I know I'll never be able to change their mind.
I am openly gay and in my school, you just DO NOT come out as gay unless you want your life to be ruined by discrimination and hate, but I decided to come out as gay, and every time I am with my girlfriend in the hall and we are talking or holding hands, then it's like, everyone just stares at you and you can tell who is cool with it and who isn't, but either way... I couldn't agree with you more.
Why do people have to stick to the status quo and conform to the ancient ideas that only men can fall in love with a woman and vise versa. My best friend is also gay and if you look at him, you wouldn't be able to tell. He is so mocho I have to tease him, but seriously people should just stop being so uneducated about homosexual people.
I am not gay or have any kind of negative look at gays
, but in gayness is a kind of an abnormal psychology.
If you set your mind to the gay switch then you're gay , but if you set your mind to the straight switch then you are straight . Humans are meant to go to the right gender which is the opposite (Male go with Female) in psychology they give an example of charges "if you have a Positive pole (+) it will be attracted to the negative (-) pole , but when you get the same poles (+)(+) it will repeal (+)----(+) . ONLY IF YOU FORCE IT TO ATTRACT ,, and that what your doing to your mind . You are forcing your mind to think that you are gay .
Wish you all the best choices in life.....
im straight, but i do try to accept people who arent in my life..i treat the same...sometimes with more friendliness the usual...
People think gay/bi people are all creepy...theyre just people like the rest of us, and it hurts them when you make fun of them!
One of my best friends is bisexual, his ex (as a sort of revenge) decided to let a lot of people at my very conservative catholic school know all about it...he got teased a lot. But he was strong and just ignored it!
funny thing is, he gets more girls than the rest of the guys do!
