Can Anybody Share Their Personal Experience?
Sam, homophobic comments are usually from ignorant people. That’s the sad fact of being gay. There are times I do get upset thinking “why do people think that about us” but that’s really what they want. There’s been times I’ve come back from the R&S section livid at some of the anti gay stuff that goes on – seemingly delete free – over there. When I had my first gay experience I was wracked with guilt. I rang this telephone counselling line only to be told that “you sound like a nice young man” and intimating that this would be a phase and I’d soon find a nice girl to marry, blah, blah, blah. Of course she was wrong but in my heart I knew this and refused to let it screw with my head. Some others would have had their heads screwed by this silly woman. Some doctors are a little too eager to slap depression onto things, too. You need him or her to refer you to a gay friendly counsellor so you can talk about your feelings properly.
