I don't really feel that quitting will help the situation if anything I would think it rids of a comfort zone. Everyone needs a comfort zone whether its people hating them for there decisions, there sexuality, there race, there religion everyone needs one. I've seen how the judgment can really hurt; my best friend growing up and even now is gay. He told his parents when he was 17; a junior year in high school. To put it lightly they flipped out.They kicked him out and he stayed at my house for awhile until after a few months it was time to talk. We sat down with his parents just me, some of his other friends and a few other people from our area. We explained that a person isn't defined by any one thing. A person isn't just the black kid, isn't just the gay kid. A person is characterized by how they make you feel. You have the people that make you laugh, the people that bring you up, the people you know are always there. A person is defined by there character. In the end they took him back and in the end every person who talked trash regretted it because for a split second they turned there back's on someone who would have died for them. I love him to death he's been named my best man at my wedding because of how hes changed me as a person. How he's picked me up when I've been down. I have never seen him as gay to me he has always been Tre. I know I'm sorry I rambled but what I'm trying to say is that no one should judge you just based solely on the fact that your gay. And a few people in a virtual world who feel the need to show there e dominance by bashing people who are different, are not the type of people whose opinions truly matter...Ill shutup now
