This really ticks me off.

It really pisses me off that there are gay people actually wishing they were straight, simply because we live in a world where straight is the norm, where straight is what everyone wants to be. Where only straight people can feel comfortable holding hands in kissing in public, where only straight people can bring their girlfriends and boyfriends home without feeling like they're about to be judged. It's not fair that I can't take a girl to prom or to a dance, and it's not fair that everyone says "Oh, it's just a phase," as if they're in denial since they don't want to admit that someone they love might be gay. It's not fair that I have to feel uncomfortable because of who I like. It's not fucking fair.

I don't think the world will ever change, either. What if I can't get married, what if I can't have kids? All because I'm not what they call normal? It just really gets to me. All I've ever wanted to be is normal. Let's just add to the list of reasons why I will never be accepted that way by society, why don't we? =/

don't think like that. in fact, that thought is false. the world is changing as i type this. we are heading in a direction where everyone will finally be accepted. homosexuality is the is the civil rights struggle of our generation and 50 - 100 years from now, people are going to look back and say "how stupid were we that we didn't give homosexuals equal rights?" in the exact same way we say that now about slavery, etc. trust me, your time will come. :)

Nobody is "normal" there is always something that will make them different. ts a basic rule: everyone is unique.

In societies terms, being straight is normal. No one is unique.

Op; However, slowly things are getting better and many more places are legalising gay marriage. So I wouldn't rule out getting married. There's still plenty of chances for you to do that. Children is always an option. You don't actually have to listen to society. Just try to find a loop hole, there's one in everything. Furthermore, the whole "it's just a phase" thing that isn't society that's just people not understanding the concept of homosexuality.

[judahtics]

it would be a whole lot easier if everyone was straight. not that it's bad people are gay, but everyone being straight would stop so much pain, hate, and other problems.

[Emiil]

i totally agree :( :( :(

[Maxxie]

I love being gay and all that comes with it, but what I'm feeling right now makes me want to be straight. I'm so far down in the dumps I'm looking for a way out, but that's not the one. Every guy I've ever fallen for has turned out to be straight in the end.

Including the current one. :/

It's not the norm that makes me feel this way.I'm an atheist, I don't give a damn about the majority. It's just my feelings. And by tomorrow those will probably have changed. :/

[Tristin.]

Society outcasts that it fears and does not undertsand. Personaly, i believe there will be a time of equality, where we can go outside holding hand and nobody will bat an eye lid, where homosexuality will be regarded witht he same level of "normality" as hetrosexuality and even though, i may not live to see it, i believe that the next generation, or possibly the generation after that will.

and may i say, nobody is normal, for normal dictates eveyone is the same, nobody is the same, therefore, nobofy is normal. or, is the reason none of us are normal, the very reason we ALL are normal? think on that xxx

[Shadowin]

I totally agree with you sister i hate it too that people don't like to be who they are and who they want to be because they will get judged. I think the laws that forbid gays to adopt or have children are stupid like we are some alien race when we are just normal people we just have different opinions.:Gay: :superman: :irule:

[nameless12]

i DO think the world is gonna change :) it always does.
if you look back in time you can see that homosexuality has improven ALOT, i mean it is more accpeted this days than before. sure alot of people dont accept it yet but some time soon it will :) dont worry

[Fourth Dimension]

100% agreed

[bleedoutlove]

It's upsetting, but it's not our fault -- I mean come on, in most cases it'd be easier for us to live life if we were straight. I tried to kill myself twice because of where not being "normal" got me... it's just one of those things, that will hopefully change in time.

[Brice72]

I wish I didn't like guys. I'm uber religious and sometimes it's incredibly tough. I'd do a lot to end my attraction to guys.

That's horrible and deeply depressing. I hate the thought of people out there wanting to change themselves.

[yungzion]

It's how they feel

[Sosaku]

i don't want to be straight because its normal, but if fucking HURTS to be in love with a straight guy.

[kuuliluuk]

It seems that world is getting better. Only very very slowly. What changes, is attitude toward other people. People are more informed, more free. Hopefully.
For me, when I realized i am not "normal" almost everything turned upside down. I needed to hide what I really felt, I had make smiling faces where I didn't want to. I had to pretend to be what I was not. And then I asked why me? Isn't that unfair? I can't change the world right away. It is easier to pretend to be "normal" which is sad.

[TrevorTime]

If this were 1920, then I might have some guilty feelings about being gay. But nope, it's 2011, and the world is changing. You have gay people on TV and gay people involved in politics.

I like who I am and have no desire to change anything.

[LoveMe_HateMe]

To be honest, there is no such thing as 'normal'. I have proof, going back to AS Psychology and about abnormality and things, there's a woman who said you need these 5 things ( I think) to be classed as normal. All of those things in the list is impossible for one person to accomplish, so no-one is 'normal'.

I think it's good to be not 'normal'. It shows that you're not just a sheep - doing the same things as everyone else. That in fact you can do you're own things, that you are your own person. And you aren't afraid to stand up for what you believe.

I love walking around, in the streets, holding hands and kissing my girlfriend. Yes, okay we've had abuse shouted at us, several times... But she makes me happy, she makes me proud to be who I am, so I really don't care what others think or say.

I disagree with you on that the world will never change. It will. We're the next generation. We are the ones who will be able to make the changes. If we stand up for what we believe in, we can make the change that we want. Having gay marriage legalized in New York is the first step of many.

One a side note: I don't understand why marriage between same-sex couples is illegal in the first place, seeing as two people who could be together for years and really love each other and can't get married when you get some celebrities who get married and divorced in 50 hours. You don't go for a gay walk or a gay meal or a gay shopping. So why is it gay marriage.

I am going to stop rambling though... I think I've made my point... Maybe.

[predatorsfan21]

Life is hard...get a helmet.

[prob1996]

I totally agree with you. It isn't fair at all. It hurts to see all my friends with their gf's in public and I can't be the same way with my boyfriend. We have to act like "just friends" .
The world is changing but it is very slow and painful.

[LifeisLife]

.......

[Efflorescence]

Just as others have said, who's to tell you what's 'normal or not'? I mean....people call me 'weird' (my own mother for example.....) and I'm straight..... these people usually shut it when I tell them to define 'normal'. What is normal to them may not be normal to me and vice versa....
I really think there's nothing wrong in being gay....it's who you are and you have to accept yourself just as you are (something with which I've been struggling for years).......

One last thing......I know that maybe this is not 'normal' (hehe!) but I find things that others consider to be 'normal' , mundane....I'm in love with everything that is out of the ordinary (but I have limits of course...) and it is the lives of 'weird', 'not normal' people that I find to be the most appealing and fascinating.......hope this helps......

[Skyhawk]

I simply block it from my mind.

If it gets to me, I hold the feelings in, and I become numb.

It gets to me too. But day by day it's becoming more accepted. Look at NY passing the gay marriage proposal!! It's spreading to more and more areas. We just need to ourselves and let people know we aren't backing down because "THEY" don't know or like our choices or feelings. Who are they to dictate who we are??!!?? I also wish we could be ourselves in public everywhere. I went to NYC and walked down Christopher St. (gay area) and Ii had my BF along and we actually got to hold hands and were very comfortable. It was awesome. Keep your head up and don't back down!!
