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.

Turn on: Nice hair. Good perfume. Silky dresses (haha, that's just me). A good smile. Someone who likes holding hands. Turn off: Too much make-up. Unhygienic. Fake laughter. Humor in a girl is always nice but I think most guys like to think that they're the funny ones. If you can hold an intelligent conversation, it's a real plus. A lot of girls like to be asked about themselves but so do guys. It's the easiest thing to talk about. Good luck!

You have some very admirable things to say. Unfortunately not everyone is that sensitive and willing to try and look at life from another perspective. One thing I would say, is never apologise for other's behaviour. They have to stand up and be counted just like the rest of us!

People have some choices when they don't understand something. I'm grateful that youhave chosen to be open and caring rather than closed and judgmental. Your note here may help one or two others to take a similar approach. Thanks.

Hey, thanks. Much appreciated. Next time on, don't be this sorry for those who have no respect for humanity. They are a sorry lot anyway. Just be there to support other such friends of yours when they need it the most. That will really help spread the goodness around. Mwaah! :-)

Your concern for others is all that matters
If you treat people the way you want to be treated
Everything else will fall into place.

I too wish that more people were accepting instead of judgemental about others, especially when they only speak badly about others. You have a star from me as well.

That's really nice of you. My friend is in exactly the same situation as yours was--he's gay and his family won't accept him. I gave you a star.
