Community. Gee, that sounds like such a nice word, a CARING word. People living in harmony, being nice to each other, and helping old ladies cross the street. So why is it whenever I hear the words "gay" and "community" in the same sentence I shudder? You know what I'm talking about. Don't deny. Being in the gay community means being labeled as someone who does nothing but sleep around, and cheat on their respective others. Not being gay means being able to cheat on the "one you love", and it being all gravy. So why is such a big deal when gay people cheat, or sleep around? Personally, I think it downright SUX!!! Out of all of the people I have dated trying to find that one special person (which I now have!) I have NEVER! cheated on anyone. But wait, that doesn't fit the criteria, I mustn't be gay. Why do we get stereotyped? We're human, I guess I understand that. But, to be labeled as a whole community?
OK, OK. I understand that there are some very significant differences between us and those creepy str8's. But what I don't get, is why can str8 people have a good time and party, yet when it's one of those Homo's doing it, they must just being trying to pick someone up to sleep with? The truth: str8 people do that too! Woah, sorry to shock you like that, take a deep breathe. But seriously, it seems like straight people are so afraid to seem slutty and easy, but we're gay so we have to be sleeping with like a million people at one time. And why do our relationships never last? I have been questioning that for years and the only answer I can come up with: straight people make it that way. I know, you're probably saying, "ok, this guy is TOTALLY delusional." But think about it. It's kewl for straight people to walk hand in hand in the mall, but unless your town has a gay friendly mall, gays can't walk hand in hand in the mall without the necessary "faggot" or "queer" comment from a guy and his three male "buddies". I feel uncomfortable being too gay in public. Is this how I really want to live my life?, being ashamed of who I am, too scared to hold hands with my boyfriend in the mall? HELL NO! But unless I want to be bashed, I have to take precautions and be smart. Seems stupid since I live in such a wonderful "community". That's why gay relationships DON'T last, at least in my case.
Who would want to date someone who is always afraid to be seen with you in public? It's just not fair though!!! UGGHHH... Gay people don't walk around "str8 bashing", or yelling "stupid heterosexual" down the lengths of the shopping mall. So why should we have to deal with it, living in such a wonderful, caring community? Simple answer: we shouldn't! Next time you want to take your man's hand in the mall, do it! It's your life, and plus, are they paying your bills? :P You only live life once, so enjoy yours while you can. And gay people: stop putting down your fellow queers. Talking trash about your "so called friends" only adds fuel to the fire for str8 people. When you talk junk, that must mean it's ok for everyone, and just adds credibility to the stereotypes that we are labeled being gay.
So, now that we all now that the gay community generally sux, do something about it. Don't put down a gay for sleeping with someone: it's human nature. (Thanks Madonna). Str8s' sleep with people in their community, there's nothing wrong with us doing it too. Hopefully one day the gay community won't send shivers down my spine, and make me gag. To think that it sux to be part of something I am…….
