That,s so sweet!!! And it does get better after you leave High School. You move to a Gay community or major city and you are so happy to be free. Free to love, free to enjoy all the benefits of the vicious back biting queens and queers that can be ten times more cruel than anyone from your childhood. Did I mention that it helps if your really hot. We queers have standards you know. Only lesbians can be fat and unattractive and still get laid. Make sure that you wear the right clothes, say the right things, and hang out with all the right people, that is very important. There are many sub-groups within the Gay world so I am certain that you will have no trouble fitting in. IT GETS BETTER !!!

Dumdum, it’s so cute how you totally live up to your name. Maybe one day you’ll stop hanging around in bars and you’ll learn that non-drunk gay people are actually great, but I’m thinking you’re probably too narcissistic and shallow for that. Oh well!

@RomanHans: I don,t hang out in bars anymore. I was in theater in San Francisco. I came out in 1975 and have lived in the Gay subculture for 37 years. I have been around the block at least twice. There are nice people everywhere but as a whole Gay men are vain superficial and have their little clicks just like High School. And aside from the pretty lipstick lesbians.you need to check out The woman,s music Festival in Guernville California. Don,t try to walk among them though, since you are male you might get your but kicked. There are exceptions to every rule of course. Have you ever been on a Gay cruise ship? Hey I love my people, but it is what it is.

@RomanHans: Post Script. I don’t drink or do drugs. Maybe did too much antacid in the 70s. How very presumptuous. And I was of course being sarcastic. Not all Gays are superficial, only about 72.3 percent.
