Hey... I've just been browsing the general board and through clicking around, I somehow got into this category. I've been reading some of the hatred and ignorancd being spewed forth within it, and it makes me want to scream. My best friend in school was a gay man, and when he came out, he went through pure hell, especially from his homophobic and backwards family. They tried for years to tell him he was "sick," and that he should "just suck it up and be with a girl." It was the saddest thing I've ever seen. I just want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry we can't all respect one another and get along. I'm sorry we are so insecure and hateful to one another. I'm sorry we can't stop jujging one another based on how we look, who we are, or who we love. I hope that someday we'll learn to be good and kind and lift each other up instead of bash each other for what we don't understand.
