text: why are people so judgemental about us gays? why can't other people accept the fact that being gay is a part of the society today, even long ago.??  a friend once told me that being gay is not something to be ashamed of, and not something to be proud of, yet i said, if you wont be proud of what u are and who u are no one else would, and if u are ashamed of yourself, everybody else would feel the same.. fear of what they don't know or understand, ignorance.... its very sad
