Imagine growing up knowing you were different. Being told and teased because you were different. Having everybody from you father to you sister to you cousins to you peers in school all imply that something is wrong with you because you are different.

 

Imagine the self-hate that would create inside of you.

 

Imagine people in society telling you that you are choosing to be different, that you are going to hell for being different.

 

How would that make you feel?

 

Imagine not having a first kiss until you were twenty-three because you are different.

 

Imagine being afraid to tell your friends and family that you are different.

 

Imagine wanting to kill yourself because you are different.

 

Imagine hiding yourself, hating yourself and cursing yourself because you are different.

 

This has been my life as a gay man.

 

Imagine one day you stop hating yourself and begin loving yourself.

 

Imagine finding love in spite of all of this.

 

Imagine moving to a state where your relationship will finally be held up as equal.

 

Now imagine that is all taken away.

  1. Sucks on the vote. Perhaps it will get shot down quickly, and then we can figure out how in the hell is got passed in the first place.
