The world doesn't NEED the know. You like women and you are a woman? Fine. The world doesn't NEED to know. I think that is my main issue with this whole thing. They are gay. They are proud of it. I think that is fine, and applaud that they are happy with their choice, but I don't want it to constantly be thrown in my face. This comes from a person who grew up with a bisexual sister who eventually chose a man and a brother who now considers himself a female, with full name change and pills to help aid in his change, so don't give me any sort of shit. I understand this better than most. |
I'm sure you understand it better than a lot of people, but I'm surprised you don't see the need for the them to tell other people. I, for one, don't care and never make a big deal of my sexuality to my friends. But I applaud those who do when they are trying to send a message to others who struggle with their sexuality. Things are better than they used to be a few decades, even a few years ago, but still extremely hard on some people. I bet the guy knew some closeted guys in his school and wanted to show them that it's ok to come out. As in, he, too, was afraid but got more support than he expected.
Just my two cents.
