I’m just tired of people treating us like shit. I don’t know why I care. Why do people live to hate?

    Most of the hate I see is projected through the news. There is some intolerance in my family, but we have an agreement. The friends I had before I came out who couldn’t cope are not my friends anymore. With time, I’ve grown to accept how those people saw me. They really didn’t see anything in me that they disliked. It’s not me. It’s how they understand LGBT lives to be. And it’s flat out wrong. I know that I’m living a normal and happy life being out and gay, so that helps me forget the hate. Another thing is that I’ve found a small community that supports me, and treats me as an equal. That’s an important thing for every LGBT person.

        Yeah, that sucks. School tends to be the worst place for LGBT folk. That’s why you need to make sure you find your community. Even if that’s just a couple of solid friends that treat you with respect.

        Also, when it comes to those people who have “issues” with LGBT folks, well, let the haters hate. You know they’re wrong. Don’t let them pull you into their bitterness. Like the other commenter said, they’re likely insecure about themselves and want to put others down in a desperate effort to join the in crowd.
