uhm, i'm 16 and i live in a $21k one-bedroom house. i've never lived in
suburbia, i went straight from the 'ghetto' of minneapolis to small town
illinois, but thanks for assuming! i got picked on a lot when i was
younger because i was fat and ugly and it didn't feel good. i was going to
the therapist by the time i was 12, so i dunno about you but trying to
ignore other kids when i'm 10 wasn't very easy for me!
i have nothing wrong with gay parents, and that's something that most of
you seem to be assuming about me and it's starting to really piss me the
fuck off. i'm entitled to my fucking opinion and instead i get classified
as 'ignorant' because of teasing - something that i know quite a bit about,
mind you.
i've already said that it would be a nice world if gay and lesbian people
were accepted as great parents, and yeah they probably are in san francisco
and other gay-friendly places, but there are a lot of places in this world
that *aren't* gay friendly. of course, i'm entitled to my own opinion..oh
wait, no i'm not, i'm WRONG. i also seem to be a gay-basher
which..wow..that's a pretty strong accusation to be throwing around but it
doesn't seem to stop you guys :)
i just don't fucking care. i really don't. you can all suck my asshole
except those of you who were kind enough to stand up for me and/or
personally respond to me saying you didn't think i had the most horrible
points. to those of you who were able to digest the possibility that i
have nothing against gays but at the same time felt that maybe it wouldn't
be the absolute best environment for a child at this point when there's so
much hatred in the world, THANK YOU.
for the rest of you, keep on overanalyzing and reading into people..it's
what you do best.
i'm done.
