Subject: Homophobia on campus

When I left high school I thought that maybe I could be honest to everyone about who I was. That I wouldn’t have to be afraid that I would be ostracized, but I realize that for most people if I were to come out I would be gay, or bi, before I was anything else to them. And to a lot of people wouldn’t get past that first part to give me a chance. I don’t want everyone to know, it is still something personal but I want to be able to not have to go to “safe zones” to speak my mind. I wish something could be done on campus to educate the general population on how homophobia can really destroy someone’s life. I still hear, “that’s gay,” or “faggot” every day and it hurts just as much every time. I know this really sucks but someone had to start writing on the message boards.

Jostling for some Jocelyn. (ho-ho-ho)

If you see me feel free to give me a hug, I may need it.
