The World I Want To Live InI want to live in a world where no one has to come out. I want nobody to ever have to go through that emotional and physical torture. I want there to be no reason to come out. Because in this new world, it wouldn't matter! Nobody would care who another person loves, because it's love and none of their business!

I want to live in a world where no one cares. I want apathy, not acceptance. Because, there's no need for acceptance because there's no chance of rejection! There's nothing wrong with it, so rejection and persecution are logically ruled out. I don't want to hear this dialogue ever again "I'm gay." "Good for you!" Good for y

Take Your Best ShotGo ahead.
Call me Gay.
Guess what?
I don't care.
Because,
I know I'm happier
than you ever will be.

I Said ItThe words flew out,
after years of denial,
repression and prayer.
A warm chill consumed my person,
as much as a contradiction as I feel.
I gasped at what I had done.
Why did I do it?
Why did I tell HIM??
Why am I even asking these questions?
For the first time in years,
I feel good.
Really good!
I want to shout it from the top of this little town
and yet I feel more repressed than ever.
I realize the consequences of my actions,
of my words.
"I'm gay".

Because of HimBecause of him, I laugh differently
I never turn off my phone
I curse like a sailor
I listen to new music
I lose sleep
I cry dry tears
I love myself, if only for a moment
I know true pain
I know true bliss
I am different, because of him.

I Love a BoyEvery part of me wants him.
Body and Soul
ache for the unattainable.
His soft golden hair whispers
"caress me".
His deep blue eyes implore
"trust me".
I long for his touch.
Being near him, without being with him
is unbearable.
One day
I will roll over and see his smile,
blissfully content as mine.

Who I am: A LGBT interview.

1. How long have you known you are part of the LGBT community?
    Well... I had had suspicions about it for years, but I only accepted it May of 2011. (18 years old)

2. Was it a struggle (emotionally) for you at the beginning?
    In the years prior, oh ya. I spent many a night praying and hoping that these thoughts would go away. But the second i said it my life changed instantly.

3. How did you start to discover your sexuality? (Example, thoughts, feelings…ex)
    I had always been curious about other guys, but there was one guy that changed it all. He was he first perso

Paradise LostOn cloud nine.
Happy for the first time
ever.
In my bliss,
the wrong words slip out
and the cloud breaks.
I plummet from my rainbow Eden
down to the gray life
I had so readily forgotten.
Perfection is lost forever.

Being in the closet, is worse than being in jail.

Society holds the key. Only because we let them.

If being in the closet was worse then being in jail, people wouldn't stay in the closet to avoid getting put in jail for homosexuality. Find a better quote.

I feel your pain >.< I'm a bisexual girl, so I'm not sure if it's called "in the closet" for girls, but still. Awesome quote, too

What else would it be called? I'm pretty sure it's gender neutral
