I really respect openly homosexual guys and girls. I am heterosexual, but I doubt that if I weren't I'd have the courage to admit it in a society where people look down on others because of a choice that has nothing to do with them. I support people of every sexuality because I know that it doesn't matter what gender, race, religion, or sexuality you are, as long as you are willing to love the person you are with and don't discriminate against others because of their choices, whether they hate you without just cause or support choices you are against. Last year, before he moved, my then-boyfriend was often teased by another boy and called 'homo' or 'gay' even when we were together. I used to just tell the guy responsible to shut up and leave him alone, but one day Curtis told him, "You know what? I'm bisexual." After that he was left alone, and I knew that to him it wasn't an insult to be seen as homosexual. It was a brave thing for him to say, as he admitted later. He thought that maybe I would dump him after learning this, likely because of his strict religious upbringing and his parents' beliefs. I just gave him a smile and said something that made him drop the idea: "Are you kidding me? Now I know I beat out every girl, and guy in the school to have you as my boyfriend." He's still one of my best friends, despite us only being able to see one another every few months, and we decided that if neither of us has met someone else by then, we'll start dating again once high school ends. No matter the decisions someone else makes, as long as it doesn't hurt you or another person, it isn't our job to tell them that it's wrong, or 'disgusting.' I say that if you are happy with the person you're with, no one else should be allowed to ruin it for you with their views and stereotyping~
