Sometimes I wish people were different.
All my life I've had to defend myself because I am gay. I've had grow a second skin and try to ignore petty comments from small minded people. After a while, words they use to try to upset me didn't work because I had heard it all. I even got to the point where I was making whitty comments back.
But there comes a time when sometimes it can get overwhelming. Days when I'm not feeling great about myself and simply don't have the energy to fight back. To defend myself. Like today for example at work. I've been having a rough few months so the last thing I needed was for people to make fun of me ad saw hurtful things. It really got to me. I was quite upset.
Then I was angry. Why should I have to constantly defend myself to small minded idiots who probably can't even tell the time. Just because I sleep with the same sex doesn't make me a monster. Why can everyone else kiss their partner in public but when I (or any other gay couple) do the same, its met with raised eyebrows and whispers.
I just wish people were more accepting.
