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. |
I don't understand the need. I also don't like it being thrown in my face as if I am supposed to care.
My brother, born Jason, now Christina feels the need to constantly tell me of the guys he is with, although he tries to tell us they are women. I don't need to know these things. Just do what people normally do. Tell us you are in a happy relationship with someone you care for.
No need for "I really like this person, but he is a transgender (This is what he calls it) and I want people to know who we are and if they don't like it, so what?".
Is that TRULY necessary? Why not just be together, love eachother and let that be that? Why constantly throw it in people's faces? Am I somehow supposed to care? Do what you want to do.
That is the issue with this article. Is the school wrong for removing his coming out from the yearbook? No.
A yearbook isn't for someone to come and let the world know he is gay. He is only choosing to be an attention seeker.
He is gay. Big whoop. Tell him to live his life the way he wants. No need to try and make a yearbook about himself. He isn't any more important than anyone else in that book.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
