It's been common knowledge I'm gay to my friends and everyone I encounter since July of 2003.
The dramatic coming out, the lost friends, the conflict didn't happen. Surpising? Maybe.
I had maybe 5 people even mention some uncomfortableness, but when they saw I wasn't going to tie them up and paint their nails and cover them with rainbows they were ok. I'm still good friends with everyone.
So for a long time not one single negative side effect.
Well, today I found them.
Two people refuse to associate with me because I'm gay. I'm not particularly devastated, but it's a slight disappointment there are still a few people who choose their friends based on criteria such as these.
I'm in Kansas City, Missouri. It's a pretty conservative area I suppose. I guess I figured I'd run across people like these sooner or later.
*shrug*
Only two in a year and a half? I thought that just about everyone hated gays?
I'd associate with you, but if I dropped something, I probably woudn't pick it up.
I wouldn't put it like that, but I'm surprised that you encountered such little hate as an openly gay person. Idea: Move to SF
People don't want to associate with other people for a variety of reasons that are based on poor criteria.
