39. I have a dear friend who I've known since his birth

Apr 2015

I was 4 yo when he was born and it was apparent that he was wired more as a girl than as a boy from the get go. No matter we still love one another as only lifelong friends can. He didn't change, or decide to be gay, he was born gay. I accepted that even before many years later I realized that was what it was. We don't chose who we are or what orientation we are, sexually. It would be just as wrong for me to discriminate against him as it is for me to discriminate against my brothers and sisters in this world who are not white people. All this racism, homophobic bullshit is what it is BullShit. America wake the fuck up and accept and embrace those of us who are different. It is in the differences that makes us strong.
