Living in the 21st Century I feel that we are living in a society that is a bit more open minded. Coming out to our friends and family seems a bit more accepting. And after educating the people around us they become more understanding and soon realized that it is not by choice or that we want to live a different kind of lifestyle than the rest of the population.

We are all human beings and homosexuals bleed and hurt the same way as heterosexuals do. But to some who are trapped in a closed-minded family or surrounded by homophobia, things can be a whole lot darker and I think we need to support these people and not reject them. I heard to many times how gay people who are "out" reject those who are in "the closet" and it makes me sad. To think that we were all there once, in the closet... Just think of it this way, his or her family and friends are homophobic and to come out to them would be suicidal. And then they have to deal with ignorant, superficial-no good homosexual guys who think that everyone in the world should be gay... And all that person really need is that special connection with someone that will not judge them and perhaps who will try to understand "Why", now that would be something. We can all make a difference in someone else's life. Think about it.
