so today.......

[Magnus Bane]

Okay so today in class one of my friends did a project on gay marriage. He knows that im gay and he supports it. But what gets me is that i came out on Facebook to everyone and no one seems to know it. So today he had us debate about it and I got into an argument with this kid and he tells me that its not right and its not normal and all that stuff and i countered with Simba (lion king) was raised by two guys and he turned out just fine. Then he told me that i was stupid and that gay marriage is still wrong. Then I sit there and listen for awhile and I pipped up with I dare you to ask my kids when i get older if being gay is wrong and that marriage should only be between a man and a women. Well at this point I was pissed at myself because I want everyone to know but then again I feel that i only want some people to know. I mean everyone in that room now knows that im gay and im kinda worried it will back fire on me. I just want to know if I made a mistake by doing that? I know this is a long post but anyone who reads it thx.

not at all a mistake. and if they choose not to accept u then screw them. they arent ur real friends if they dont accept your sexuality. or if some guys dont they may just be defensive because they think they have their own feminine side haha. hope this helps

Yeah who cares what some ignorant person thinks, just be yourself and the right ppl will like you...the ones that matter.

If it was on facebook anyone could have seen it. So if you were worried that someone you didn't want to know now knows, don't. Cuz you already put it on facebook.

But to the actual point, it's not a mistake. If you supporting what you truly believe in and live is a mistake, then most people in the world would be making major mistakes. You stood up for yourself, and probably shut a douchebag or two up with your argument. Take pride in yourself, and gloat a little for your arguing skills.

Those isn't completely true if his profile is set to private.

IMll say this and make it plain; While in our world today when a friend does not agree with all of you we say they are not your friend many like myself wonder why. If this kid defamated you and phhysically harmed you over your sexual practice then he or she is no friend truly but a person with issues. On the other hand, someone can still caare for and or love you whilst disagreeing with a part of you. Case and point, my family to me. I'm the odd man out because unlike my family I'm an artist, I'm skinny, I'm unique and sometimes odd, and with my dad who is never in my life much he dislikes my Christian views But you know what? It doesn't matter because they still love me, even in our disagreements. This help at all? No?

You've done nothing wrong. You were just standing up for what you believe in. And that's a good thing. :)

You should be proud for standing up for yourself like that. If u can do that, you'll be just fine. Also if no one talked shit to u by now they probly won't.

you just go as you are - you cannot change how people think no more than they can change you - its just a shame people act like this - but maybe they just need to grow up a bit.

for me im totally ok with knowing i am gay, but i am not totally ok with people judging me. I have told no one and i dont see why i should have to. i guess if there is a time when i want to i will . for me its just not the right time i guess

[Croconaw]

It wasn't a mistake. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks.

Personally, I would say good for you for voicing your more reasonable opinion. I don't think you could have handled it better, and you have to keep in mind that if a few people know, it would have eventually spread anyways. I don't know how accepting your community is, but hopefully people won't care who you like.
