Start living your life fearlessly. Keep the faith, stay strong. Better things are still to come. Some people cannot address who they really are because they think if they address who they really are they might get judge, criticize, disrespected and won’t be accepted by the people around them. There are a lot of judgmental people on earth and we can’t please everyone. A lot of people tend to react and say shit things before they think and know the whole story. Sometimes they feel that they know everything, know it all people. It sucks and it hurts to hear shit things from other people. It really sucks being judged by people who don’t know the real you. They judged people like they have been with you all your life. The sad reality is a lot of people usually open their mouth before they open their minds. They already hurt people before they use their brains and realize they’re wrong. No offense, I am just saying the truth. Life is so much easier if we delete negativity and accept and embrace people just the way they are. Being gay is not a disease, disorder or a mental illness that will spread or transmitted thru air, saliva, mucus, vomit, feces, sweat, tears, breast milk, urine, semen, vaginal fluids, coughing, sneezing, kiss and sexual intercourse. IT IS NOT A DISEASE, STOP MAKING IT AS BIG AS EBOLA. They don’t like and hate you, but they will be checking your page religious. They suffered and still suffering from all the negativity, bashers and haters. Gay people have a heart and soul too, they get hurt, feel bad, upset, sadden and devastated. Gay people are humans too: Why not treat them that way? We all look up at the same sun, clouds, sky, stars and moon, so I believe that they are normal people too. No one has the right to hurt, judge, criticize and discriminate them. Only God can judge us but I don’t think God will judge us. God is up to something. There is a reason why you went through what you went through. Trust the process; he’s just in our back. No one has the right to judge you, because no one really knows what you have been through. They might have heard the stories, but they didn’t feel what you felt in your heart. Gay people don’t deserve to be hurt, criticize, judge, bullied, bash, hated, and told harsh, insensitive and bad words. . I don’t understand why people are throwing rocks and stones at you well in fact you are just being yourself. People who are in the LGBT community deserve so much love, respect and equal treatment. Let’s embrace and accept them with all our hearts and souls. I salute you all of you for being a genuine, fearless, tough and great people. We are all perfectly imperfect.
For all the LGBT community: You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. You don’t have to please everyone because you can’t please everyone. Never waste your time explaining yourself to people who are committed to misunderstanding you. Whenever people hate you just remember that you never gave them a reason to hate you, their just creating their own little drama of pure insecurity. Whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you. Don’t allow silly drama to stress you out; don’t stress yourself with useless, rude, insensitive people who don’t deserve to be an issue in your life. Tough times don’t last: Tough people do, stay tough. Don’t let anyone’s ignorance, hate, drama or negativity stop you from being the best person you can be. Always be yourself, express yourself and have faith in yourself. To remember who you are, you need to forget what they told you to be. Just be you. Be who you are, not who the world wants you to be. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. Cheer up everyone and God bless all of you.

LGBT Terms and Definitions Reference: https://internationalspectrum.umich.edu/life/definitions
LGBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQA, TBLG: These acronyms refer to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and Asexual or Ally. Although all of the different identities within “LGBT” are often lumped together (and share sexism as a common root of oppression), there are specific needs and concerns related to each individual identity.
Asexual: A person who generally does not feel sexual attraction or desire to any group of people. Asexuality is not the same as celibacy.
Ally: Typically any non-LGBT person who supports and stands up for the rights of LGBT people, though LGBT people can be allies, such as a lesbian who is an ally to a transgender person.
Biphobia: Aversion toward bisexuality and bisexual people as a social group or as individuals. People of any sexual orientation can experience such feelings of aversion. Biphobia is a source of discrimination against bisexuals, and may be based on negative bisexual stereotypes or irrational fear.
Bisexual: A person who is attracted to both people of their own gender and another gender. Also called “bi”.
Cisgender: Types of gender identity where an individual’s experience of their own gender matches the sex they were assigned at birth.
Coming Out: The process of acknowledging one’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity to other people. For most LGBT people this is a life-long process.
Gay: A person who is attracted primarily to members of the same sex. Although it can be used for any sex (e.g. gay man, gay woman, gay person), “lesbian” is sometimes the preferred term for women who are attracted to women.
Gender expression: A term which refers to the ways in which we each manifest masculinity or femininity. It is usually an extension of our “gender identity,” our innate sense of being male, female, etc. Each of us expresses a particular gender every day – by the way we style our hair, select our clothing, or even the way we stand. Our appearance, speech, behavior, movement, and other factors signal that we feel – and wish to be understood – as masculine or feminine, or as a man or a woman.
Gender identity: The sense of “being” male, female, genderqueer, agender, etc. For some people, gender identity is in accord with physical anatomy. For transgender people, gender identity may differ from physical anatomy or expected social roles. It is important to note that gender identity, biological sex, and sexual orientation are separate and that you cannot assume how someone identifies in one category based on how they identify in another category.
Genderqueer: A term which refers to individuals or groups who “queer” or problematize the hegemonic notions of sex, gender and desire in a given society. Genderqueer people possess identities which fall outside of the widely accepted sexual binary (i.e. “men” and “women”). Genderqueer may also refer to people who identify as both transgendered AND queer, i.e. individuals who challenge both gender and sexuality regimes and see gender identity and sexual orientation as overlapping and interconnected.
Heterosexual: A person who is only attracted to members of the opposite sex. Also called “straight.”
Homophobia: A range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). It can be expressed as antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, or hatred, may be based on irrational fear, and is sometimes related to religious beliefs.
Homosexual: A clinical term for people who are attracted to members of the same sex. Some people find this term offensive.
Intersex: A person whose sexual anatomy or chromosomes do not fit with the traditional markers of “female” and “male.” For example: people born with both “female” and “male” anatomy (penis, testicles, vagina, uterus); people born with XXY.
In the closet: Describes a person who keeps their sexual orientation or gender identity a secret from some or all people.
Lesbian: A woman who is primarily attracted to other women.
Queer: 1) An umbrella term sometimes used by LGBTQA people to refer to the entire LGBT community. 2) An alternative that some people use to “queer” the idea of the labels and categories such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, etc. Similar to the concept of genderqueer. It is important to note that the word queer is an in-group term, and a word that can be considered offensive to some people, depending on their generation, geographic location, and relationship with the word.
Questioning: For some, the process of exploring and discovering one’s own sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
Pansexual: A person who experiences sexual, romantic, physical, and/or spiritual attraction for members of all gender identities/expressions, not just people who fit into the standard gender binary (i.e. men and women).
Sexual orientation: The type of sexual, romantic, and/or physical attraction someone feels toward others. Often labeled based on the gender identity/expression of the person and who they are attracted to. Common labels: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, etc.
Transgender: This term has many definitions. It is frequently used as an umbrella term to refer to all people who do not identify with their assigned gender at birth or the binary gender system. This includes transsexuals, cross-dressers, genderqueer, drag kings, drag queens, two-spirit people, and others. Some transgender people feel they exist not within one of the two standard gender categories, but rather somewhere between, beyond, or outside of those two genders.
Transphobia: The fear or hatred of transgender people or gender non-conforming behavior. Like biphobia, transphobia can also exist among lesbian, gay, and bisexual people as well as among heterosexual people.
Transsexual: A person whose gender identity is different from their biological sex, who may undergo medical treatments to change their biological sex, often times to align it with their gender identity, or they may live their lives as another sex.
