Please, someone tell me what is wrong with falling in love with someone, supporting them, caring for them? I am gay, and have struggled with this inner turmoil for some time now. I am ready to "come out of the closet" as they say, but I don't like the label "gay lifestyle." I mean, I eat, work, drive, walk, breath, and live just like any straight person would do, but am discouraged that I will have to put up with discrimination just because of who I am attracted to and who I love. I am what you would call "straight acting" I'm not into being effeminate, I like sports and cars just like any "normal" straight guy would. I am only 22 and have known I was "different" since I was 6, so I don't think I had a choice in the matter and know I was born that way. I just don't understand how the religous right can preach love but turn on and hate someone because of who they love? And why so much focus on the sexual aspect of it? Sex is not the only thing on gay peoples' mind ya know!
