Rainbows=Gay?
Let me just say this: I'm completely straight. I'ma chick and I like dudes.
When people ask me what my favorite color is, I say "The Rainbow".
Why?
Because I like all colors. I can't say I only like one color.
(Even though "The Rainbow" is not really a color)
But, when I say I like rainbows or I wear rainbows
I get the same question: "Are you a lesbian?"
My answer: "No.I can't like rainbows without being gay?"
My question is: What's people's deals with asuming rainbows comes
a gay person?
One word: Stereotyping.
One word I don't like to use. I hate being labled or stereotyped.
Just because a person likes or wears rainbows doesn't automatically
mean they are gay. I mean, they could be, but who are you to make
that assumption?
But, another reason I wear rainbows is that iSUPPORT GLTB people.
I don't see why people are so close-minded about gay people.
Are they really that bad?
From what I know, No, they aren't that bad.
My friend is Bi-Sexual.
Yeah, I have to admit, it's cool checkin' out guys with him.
Getting his opinion on things and seeing things from his point of veiw.
But, don't make up your mind about someone because of the clothes they wear,
where they come from, their sexual orientation, ect.
You're not giving them a chance at life.
Let them be them.
As in the words of Michael Jackson:
"Before you judge me, try hard to love me."

i dont hate gay peple or bi-sexuality but iam just against it well the bible is.God dosent like that ofcurse he loves the person he just dosent like bi-sexuality and ect.
p.s what does GLTB?sorry just curious
that happens to me when I wear Vans or guys' jackets. Its so annoying! Rainbow is only the gay rights colors, but it shouldnt mean you are gay!
besides, why does it even matter if you are gay?

rainbow is the gay rights colors, btu wearing colors shouldn't make you gay.
I like to wear black, green, and blue, so i dont know what that feels exactly like, but people ask me if i am lesbian when i wear guy jackets and Vans. It really annoys me so i kinda know what you are talking about

i totally agree!!!!!! descrimination in the face of gays is just sad. i actually love to hang around everyone, i don't care about their perspectives. they love who they want to and i accept it. if someone else i talk to can't accept it, then i can't accept them.
enuf said. :)
