Hey man... thanks for establishing that you are 'male' haha! All joking aside, I think it's cool that you went ahead and kept reading even after your initial judgements were ready for you to just skip over it. I'm glad it could provoke some thought into what it might be like for a gay person... that's all we can ask for when sharing our point of view.

I've met so many people and it's incredibly easy to create a whole story of what their life might be like based on all of our first impressions of that person and seeing them through our perspective, not theirs. I may think "Damn... that person is so...." and attach a negative judgement. But when I have the opportunity to learn about their story - I see exactly why that person is that way and gain so much compassion and understanding.

Our lives are so complex and all of the experiences that we gain through a lifetime have such an interesting way of shaping us. The real beauty comes when we can see a person for who they really are.
