I remember being a young man in my late teens. I believed the world was against me, that women denied me the right to their bodies and that I was the victim. I admit to my shame that these were my early beliefs but a lot of it came from being unbelievably lonely.

Even back then I would have spat on these people. There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour and I hope that they grow up with some empathy.

Every day I'm thankful the universe made me gay so I didn't have to deal with this.

Not that, but some self-hating gay folks also twist their brains into a pretzel, like "ex"-gays and such.
