Thread Name: BS: Why you don't like gay marriage
Subject: RE: BS: Why you don't like gay marriage
I am amazed that daylia knows such a collection of homosexual people with so many severe problems. I know a fair number of gay people and they seem to me no more and no less screwed up than anyone else I know. One guy is a bit of a show off, shallow, know it all, but no more so than his female friend who is straight. Another lesbian woman I know suffers from depression, but then so do I and many other people I know.

I also know someone who is gay and really suffered throughout his younger years, in the main because of the lack of acceptance from his straight parents which really hurt him. I also know a straight girl whose parents split up when she was young when the dad announced he was gay. She spent a lot of time with each of her parents and their new partners and is one of the happiest and most well adjusted people i know. She was teased at school about her dad, but it didnt bother her too much as she had a lot of close friends (each of whom was teased/bullied about something or other).
