I’m dating this girl, and you can say were in love. And when were together.. it’s amazing. But, at school, since were hiding our relationship from everyone, she acts like i don’t exist. I feel like there’s this whole other person i don’t get to see. I know that you are open about how you feel towards others in public, but i’m not ready to let that be known. I just wish that people weren’t so rude about why people choose to be gay. I guess it’s something i’ll just have to deal with.. what do you think?
I don’t understand why you would hide your relationship to begin with. If you are in love with her as you say you are, there is no reason to hide it. Being gay isn’t something to be ashamed of or scared of admitting. Also, “choose to be gay”? Really, no offense, but most people who take on the tag of “gay” didn’t choose to be this way. I, along with most, didn’t wake up one morning and decide to be physically or emotionally attached or attracted to the same sex. That aside, this is 2009. There shouldn’t be a negative stigma around the fact that someone is gay. If you’re gay, really, don’t hide it. I’ve never gotten ANY rude remarks from people because of my sexual orientation. I’ve never gotten rude looks, gestures, or comments. I think people are starting to let up a lot on the entire situation. But if you’re really that uncomfortable about coming out about your sexuality, then I don’t have a solution for you, and I’m sorry about your fear. I hope that one day, someone influences you to be proud of who you are and to not care what others think.
