As a gay man I can say I'm still suffering. This overwhelming feeling of intolerance, rejection, name-calling still brings me down , but less than before. I mean I finally accepted myself last year, and accepted that my homosexuality is a part of me that I can never give up, just like my body organs. I have to hear & see people on, at least, weekly basis, saying the nastiest things about us, but I don't answer back, fearing that they would overpower me. I can't understand why can't people just accept us for who we are. My feelings ate me for over 6 years; I tried to change myself just for the sake of the society, my parents, friends etc. I still have to put up with being considered as a minority, abnormal,sick, God hates you and all these things. And although I became completely convinced that I am normal and there's nothing wrong with me, I realized that the great need that burdens my chest: ACCEPTANCE. And I won't lie if I said that more than once I wished if I just die. (Not suicide, don't worry). But I just keep asking myself over and over again: What did I do to have such a terrible fate and live in such an intolerant world? Am I really bad for being gay? I can't change it...I'm no murderer, rapist or a thief...I just like men, how in God's name can this hurt anyone? Don't I deserve to be happy? - Sorry for the mood, I just had to say stuff, makes me feel comfortable since there's no one I can talk to about this...
