Why Do You Not See What I Want?

Many people in our society think that gay people are like the plague. This is hurting the children, women and men who are trying to face who they are and understand why they are who they are. Schools are quick to tell the cameras and concerned parents that they take bullying seriously, but their words are as empty as the words of the bullies are strong. The fact is school officials know little about the social dynamics before their very eyes, or don't care to know. They brush aside complaints as "boys being boys" or "girls trying to find their way," but our youth are far more sophisticated than that.

So just be you, and people will accept you for you and not the stigma.
