... by the way, for gay people it is even harder to find the right partner than for heterosexuals ! Imagine, as a young gay teenager you have your first true romance (hidden from the public; at that age even a lot of heterosexual Teens might have a short homosexual phase -> therefore it is still easier to find love for gay Teens). After this first romance you know what love is, but first of all there's only a small crowd to choose from (a lot of homosexuals hide their sexuality and if they wouldn't, they would still be a small minority) and secondly you hate yourself and your sexuality because a lot of people have prejudices and just tolerate your sexuality on the surface, if so. This makes many adult gays run around like suicidals. For some of them the self-hatred is so huge that they don't care about AIDS and don't mind death at all. I'msure that a lot of them end up dead, ill, mentally insane or lonely. - Just because we treat them as outcasts. @werumm : Since one of my best friends is gay I am able to talk WITH gays instead of just talking ABOUT them. This enables you to know the feelings and attitudes of these interesting people. @all-american girl : They are very good at what they're doing because what they create with their hands and their brain is the only way to learn to accept the face in the mirror, while their sexuality destroys any self-respect.
