What stresses me out more than anything sometimes, is the fact that in many areas in and near I live, open sexuality is viewed on the same level of "hate" from the public as paedophiles or murders and other horrible crimes.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHGGGKFGKASLDSAFLAJFKLFKJ:!!!

Sorry but having an open mind like myself, and then having narrow minded people judging you and thinking your dirty, horrible, inferior.. It drives me nuts.

hi, acqpl - before commenting, could you please let us know what you mean by "open sexuality"? are you gay or lesbian? it sounds like you are. as a gay man, i can relate to everything you wrote. it is so wrong to be telling the truth about who you are and to see people react as if you are a pervert or a pedophile when nothing could be further from the truth. Don't let them make you crazy. However, it may not be such a good idea to put yourself in a position where you are expressing yourself in public and putting yourself in a position where others can judge you, especially when the negative judging of others upsets you. None of us has control over others. So, if you want approval from others, then maybe you should tone it down a little in unfriendly public places and be more demonstrative around those who are more accepting. it's sad that you need to reserve your behavior in public - it seems so unfair. and, it is.

By open sexuality, I wasn't just referring to myself, I was referring to myself and the wider community who live near where I do. On a number of occasions I have witnessed someone (or some people) shout mindless abuse at couples who are literally just walking down the street and who the "friend of a friend of a friend" knows about them has decided to give them grief.
Patrick is gay, however he has never shown out to anyone I know, and as such nobody knows.
And sorry about the raging post. I was just angry. It makes me really unhappy to see people being treated this way when all they want to do is live their lives as they see fit.

And quite right too!

No one should be driven out of their home town because of their sexuality. Nevertheless, things are often better in big cities. You and your friends might want to consider that option.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
