37. I Prefer My Gay Friends

Wed May 18, 2016, 06:09 AM

May 2016

to my straight friends. They have experienced pain, fear and the stress of recognizing and accepting who they are, while struggling with a segment of society who is hateful and violent towards those they don't understand. I find my gay friends to be kinder, more generous, more accepting of others, very liberal minded and fiercely supportive of equality for all people. And my gay friends are full of love, laughter and live their lives with gusto. I find they enrich my life and I really appreciate and respect them.
