How Virtual Teen Forums Helped Me

[PinkFloyd]

So as you guys may or may not know, I am a strait 14 year old in his freshman year with a very steady girlfriend. I did some thinking. Before I stumbled across this sight and decided to join, I was a homophobe. I am now the opposite of that. I just wanted to say that vt has really transformed me from a hater to something a lot better. I realized that judging someone because of who they love is just horrible. I am now a lot more maure and know that everyone is beautiful in their own special way. Thanks for reading

I encountered the same thing. I too was sadly a homophobe. I Noam a big LGBT supporter. Thanks to everyone who helped me open my eyes to see the truth. And Rob, I'm really glad you were able to view things differently just as I have. :D

<3 Yeah, even though I'm a Christian, I believe that love is love, no matter who they are.

Yeah, the same thing happened with me.
I was also a homophobe, and when something was boring or lame, I would say "that's gay", but now I know how offensive it was.
And from what i've seen on VT, gay people are really fucking cool :P
A lot of the friends i've made on here are bi/gay, and they're awesome as fuck.
I've felt like i've matured a lot since joining this site, the people on here are amazing :D
And the VT community does a great job at accomplishing it's goal, which is helping people.
I know for sure that it has helped me :)

I love this place, and all the people on it.
