3. A lot of Awesome videos in the It Gets Better Project.

If you know any teens who are having a hard time, send them there. And make sure they know about the Trevor Project!

http://www.thetrevorproject.org/

If you have a few dollars to spare, Please consider donating to The Trevor Project. They could really use your dollars to help keep their phone lines open so they can always be there when our kids need them most.

4. I knew a gay kid in highschool.

We weren't friends, but I heard he was "Actually" Gay (Not the usual, "Your Gay HAHAHAHA", but truly homosexual.) I don't know if He was bullied (probably) and looking back on it I wish I could have helped him out, too see that not all straight guys are assholes who think he should die. I'm not personally gay, and I know its near impossible for a straight guy to hang out with a gay guy without being mistaken for a homosexual. As far as I know, the dude didn't kill himself, at least not before the end of Senior Year.

Bully for you!

I'll bet you knew more than one.... and some teachers and staff who were gay too (not the Ha ha you're gay type too!.... whatever the fuck that means!)

And I am so glad you aren't "personally" gay. What are you... professionally gay? Well, at least you didn't have any gay "friends" so you weren't tainted with the label! Whoosh! Just missed that horror! Lucky you!

It's so nice being "personally" straight, isn't it?

:eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes:

Jesus! We gays have a LOT of work to do!
