well,today was a beautiful letdown...A guy in class said out loud,"You know what's embarrising?admitting you're Gay!"Pointing at me.My other Friend said,"If you're a girl,then that's not bad at all.."He totally shut him up!But I felt Bad about Myself..... What he did was wrong, but there is nothing to feel bad about. I don't think that there should be something to feel bad about. In other news, I have gone str8 for the most part. I am sick of guys treating me like crap.. and thus, now I am looking for a girlfriend LOL!

Hmmz, I'm not proud of being heterosexual, but I wouldn't be proud of being bi or homosexual either. Here's why.
I was born a male. That fact puts me into the category 'males' automatically. Of course, this can be changed with today's medical tricks, but I'd like to denote that I've been proud of being a male. Now, since I've been categorized, the next step is to generalise me. When a male does something wrong, the category 'males' is pointed at (of course, this is not entirely true, but that's beside the point). Think of examples such as 'women can't drive'.
Next, I was born white. And for a time, I was proud to be white. Society has this little trick to automatically put me in the category 'white', whereas a black person would go into the category 'black'. Again the above applies. Think of examples such as 'white men can't jump'.
These are examples of why I am no longer proud to fit into a certain category, not 'males', not 'white', not 'heterosexual'. I am me, I'm a perfectly unique individual, no others go into my category, not even if a perfect clone would be made. I have my own style and my own life, and I'm living it the way I want to (of course, this mentality has gotten me in trouble more than once, but that's also something -I- have to deal with).

I'm really different from my family. My family is christian, so thus they don't believe in gay marriage. Though I'm christian as well, I do support gay marriage. I feel that taking away people's rights because they're different is not American at all.

I see no reason to be proud of something you are but cannot control. Next, I was born white. And for a time, I was proud to be white. Society has this little trick to automatically put me in the category 'white', whereas a black person would go into the category 'black'. Again the above applies. Think of examples such as 'white men can't jump'. Heh. The lines are not as easy to draw as some would think. I see no real reason to distinguish between race, particularly in settings such as the job market. After all the shape of my facial features has no impact on my ability to preform a task. And don't start up with that "color of skin" thing either, as it turns out skin color actually has very little to do with race in a sense. Although some people are grouped into certain races simply because of color. There are some racial groupings that make no sense as they are more of a linguistic or cultural distinguishment rather than a physical one.

Although some people are grouped into certain races simply because of color. There are some racial groupings that make no sense as they are more of a linguistic or cultural distinguishment rather than a physical one. Well, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's not exactly fair to judge someone by what category they go into. I was putting the skin color and the gender thing up as examples, but there's plenty more. It's easy to be called a 'goth' by wearing black clothes 'n makeup, it's easy to be called a 'jock/prep/loser/etc' by just being yourself, or doing what you feel comfortable with doing. Also, I'm sure you've noticed that I chose some rather mild examples. There's plenty of examples that are far worse (think of how Jews were treated in Europe during WWII, simply because they fit the profile of a Jew, or how black pplz were treated in the US up until ... (some civil war, it was I believe?), simply because of their skin color). And the same thing applies to homosexuals. Simply because they're born with a different sexual preference, they're treated like garbage.

*Huggles Squall* I hope you don't mind me giving you a hug, don't listen to those bastards, Squall, you seem to be a very wonderful person, don't let the idiocy of a few cost you your happiness, as you are most worthy to pursue what you will in life. Squall, please allow me to tell you that He is oh so very wrong, you belong where ever you choose to go in life, Sexual preference doesn't mean anything except that you like girls, well my question is, So what, it doesn't matter what your sexual preference is, you are still a person, and a very good one at that, it is people like that, that you must never listen to, Squall, as they are simply full of crap, please don't let the babblings of moron's hurt you, as you are a very good person, and should never believe what they say. Because I can vouch, you are a great person. *Huggles again* Also, I seriously hope you don't mind me giving you a hug or two, but I can't let you think that no one cares, I had to tell you that I care, now, go out into that world, and don't let anyone tell you that you are less of a person than anyone else! Carpe Diem (Seize the day) And never doubt yourself, you will succeed.

I know it can be hard for you, Squall. I have been through similar back when I was in grading school. Try not to let it get to you though. You are a very precious person, and I will not tolerate you going through this. If they don't stop, then I will give you some advice that will lead to their privates being chopped off.. J/j.. Lol. Anyway girl, don't let it get to you so bad, because you are better than them!! *Hugs*
