What to write... well let's see. Since this has to do with gay rights, I guess I'll let everyone know about the time that this girl Lisa, who happened to be a lesbian, at my old high school got made fun of for being gay. She was different than so many of the people that went to my school and for that reason, she was criticized and harassed. I found her to be intruiging. She used to write manifestos and listen to Howie Day (2 things at the time that I knew nothing about). She was much more mature and interesting than anyone I had known before. They used to call her a dyke all the time and say she was weird. She was unique. She was her own person. I hated those people for calling her names. I'll write more about this later. Sorry for the shortness.

People have made fun of me, made cruel jokes, and even my family did! Coming out isn't easy, and living with people who know isn't any easier. Though I am not lesbian, being bisexual sometimes can be more hurtful, given the sterotype of bisexuals. Though I took all that, and put it beside me, and decided I want to go to different gay pride, or gay events, and be apart of it. So coming up next year, I will be going (or hopefully) be going to the Seattle Gay Pride fesitval. I think that negative things like what Lisa went through can be out into action, or awareness for not only yourself, but for those around you.     Thank you for the post!
