A gay man's journey towards self-acceptance is something VERY few can appreciate. So when I think of a gay man that has managed to overcome all obstacles of his youth, rising above and beyond the pain of physical and emotional abuse to firmly realize his place as a gay man in today's world; I can’t help being bothered by headlines that read, ‘Gay producer found dead after suspected drugs overdose’ and ‘Gay intern credited with helping to save Giffords’ life following Arizona shooting?’ Now I know that I don’t know these men personally, but is it fair or right to label them the ‘gay’ this or that?
These headlines...i feel...are designed to attracted attention...nothing more....bt yea, we indirectly suffer the brunt...but occasionally we do get a pat on the back as well!
ReplyDeleteYes, I really do hate that. I know what it is like to come out and then be reduced to just being GAY. Nothing else you've done matters. You are just GAY.
ReplyDeletePHUNK FACTOR - TO ATTRACT HEADLINES HUH? IT IS SAD THAT WE DON'T SEE HUMANNESS IN EACH OTHER ANYMORE.
ReplyDeletePRINCE TODDY - IT BOTHERS THE HELL OUT OF ME!
ReplyDeleteAnother set of labels. No such thing as Just Gay.
ReplyDeleteCHET - TRY TELLING 'THEM' THAT!
