If you mean this dude (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Lively), seeing the words "He is noted for his opposition to LGBT rights and his involvement in the ex-gay movement." already make me think he's a bastard. I don't want to associate with any people who are actively against the LGBT movement because it's clearly affected me for quite a while. Everyone in college seems to be OK with it :cool: as most of them are bisexuals, and my best friend who is turning more in to a lesbian (she says she's bi but prefers girls which I totally understand as for a while I was just saying I'm a bi that prefers guys but after all this time thinking, more recently I've had no sexual feelings towards girls yet I have A LOT from guys) and I'm quite happy with it.

It wasn't such a big part of my life in school because I was the only person in my yeargroup who was "bi", I have thoughts that a lot of people also were but I was the only one who was "out", and everyone was perfectly cool with that too. Sexuality and the LGBT thing is now a big part of my life because of how many of the 30 people in my college course are included. You can clearly tell this ass hole is the kind of person that is causing the problems in Ukraine and involved in the Nazi party and is just putting the blame on other people as he doesn't want to put it on himself although he knows his kind are the problem.

This is how I feel anyway. Admitting I am mostly homosexual was the best feeling ever, because it's good to tell people things that are spiraling through your mind if you know they will accept it. I (very) slightly think his views are valid because I can see he's an older person and a lot of them never adjusted to the thoughts of the LGBT scene as it's new but it still shouldn't be acceptable to try and build an organisation that is actively against something people can't help. Is everything LGBT really so new that 56 year olds are against it too? I don't know too much...

This is also like if there was an organisation going against the rights of autistic people, it wouldn't be good at all. Personally I would be offended by that more as autism clearly affects my life more than being homosexual (or atleast having these thoughts a lot) does. Quite often I have random anxiety/panic attacks but they only last for about a minute or 2 and then I'm fine again, I can't help that; and the problems I have with speech, conveying my emotions and reading them, the way I walk (I know there's something wrong with how I walk but can't quite "put my finger on what), my inability to stay still, my low academic skills in some areas and high skills in others. Mostly we are equal so no one should try to fight that and the rights of it, and that is the same with sexuality also.

I'm now reading the autism rights movement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_rights) page too on wiki as this is something I'm very interested in, I personally like having these difficulties because more people like me for who I am and most likely wouldn't if there was nothing apparently wrong with me. I may be awkward but the awkwardness makes me who I am and I am extremely happy about that. I am also against the idea of medication for ADD, ADHD and stuff... these people should just be treated with more respect than try to change who they are. If someone tried to put me on medication I would refuse it if it was personality changing, as I feel bad enough sometimes taking painkillers. I also had the chance for speech therapy before (as the doctors were suggesting it) and I refused that too, as I want to fight through everything on my own. I'm walking home on my own, I'm staying home alone, I cook my own food (but only basic things) and I do a lot of other things I've heard disabled people by law aren't allowed to. I know I sound like a bit of a rebel right now but this is how I feel. They shouldn't try to change or control anyone, no matter how hard it might be to take care of them, and I'm just so happy my parents have never tried to change me too.
