3rd research post...

So, I was reading this thing on "yahoo answers" about a gay guy who is openly gay, and he's in 8th grade. He's about to graduate and go to high school, but he is worried because he doesn't have any straight guy friends, and says all straight guys that he knows think that he has some kind of disease or something. And he wants to make straight guy friends to go through high school with but he is afraid that none of the guys in high school will want anything to do with him, just because he is gay. I think thats wrong for guys to not want to talk to, or associate with him, just because he likes guys, & not girls. He said he isn't looking for a boyfriend, just friends. So I don't see what the big deal is. That didn't really have all that much to do with my topic, but I found it interesting, because in a way it does relate to my topic. Because in my opinion if the straight guys, who don't want to be his friends were more like him, maybe more sensitive, if thats what you want to call it, then they would be more open & understanding of his preference, & not even judge him as a person or as a friend by the fact that he's not interested in girls.

People should judge others about there sexuality. If they want to be gay let them be gay. But that doesn't give people a reason not to associate with a gay guy. How would people feel If straight people only hung with straight people? I would be offensive about that. If no gay people wanted to hang with me because I was straight. I see it now, other girls can't be around other gay girls because they feel uncomfortable like the girl is going to try and talk to them. But that isn't always the case. Get ot know the perrson, if they seem a little funny then brush them off, but just don't brush them off because of there sexuality.

Well now a days people judge people. I dont know why people talk bad stuff about gay people. I have a gay cousin and a gay godfather and when I hear people talking bad about gay people it hurts me and they should know that all people have feelings but know one cares about anyones feelings.

I agreee to what your saying because people should be who they wanna be not what other people want them to be. I think that people shouldnt care what other people have to say.

I agree that people shouldnt be judged based on their sexuality. We should be friends with people based on their personality. It seems that guys dont like to be around gay guys because they are afraid their gonna hit on them or something, and girls are more comfortable having friends wether they be gay, straight or whatever. Why is that? Maybe because guys mature slower and just havent learned to be comfortable with just about anybody.

I agree with you Amanda, people shouldn't judge other people based on their sexuality.They have to look at it throught the other person's eyes to realize where they are coming from.
