Be Proud!!!!!!

This month is National LGBT History month. We all in the communtiy need to celebrate, rejoice and ban together in our struggle for equality in this nation.

Be proud of who you are as a person. Don't worry about what people say about you because of who you choose to love. No let's get something straight at this moment. The choice is in physically loving the same gender. We all have friends who try to deny their sexual urges and refuse to partake in any sexual act with the same gender. There is NOT!!!! a choice in loving the same gender emotionally. I personally feel this is the difference between being gay and being trendy. Yes it is sad to say that some people claim to be gay because it is the "cool" thing to do.

Most people that are actually gay understand what a struggle it is to be that way. A person can receive much flak for being "different" in a society that being "normal" is considered the right way to function. Anything that is different is considered evil or unusual.

No one would choose to be GAY!!!!!! My people that are in the continuous struggle understand what i mean when I say this. That is why we get so up in arms when someone (especially someone who is NOT gay says rather casually) that being gay is a choice. If you lived one day in my bruised shoes you would think differently almost immediately.

Although I was teased frequently in my school I would never wish to not be this way because being this way is a part of who I am as a person. If I am fine with it then why is the world so upset about me being this way. I mean it is not as though I am doing harm to anyone else by being this way. And since I am doing something that is so dangerous and harmful to myself why is everyone hell bent on making me change? One would think they would try and stay away from me instead of trying to force me to change against my will.

Be PROUD of who you are as a person because that is who you truly are. It doesn't matter what others have to say about you as long as they aren't harming you in any physical way then you're good and if they are, seek help from the proper people. If that doesn't work whether it be in a school or other establishment tell your parent or legal guardian.

It does really get better, choose to live instead of dying and helping the negative individuals in this screwed up society win. No one can live your life but you. So live it and celebrate this month for it and every other day in the year is truly for us
