Do you live in a small town? That was my problem when I was younger. I moved to the big city where people don't care as long as you are cool and honest. I never had a problem accepting myself..I love me and if someone judges me or doesn't like me because I am gay then that is there problem, not mine. You just have to know where and when you can be "out" if you live in a small town. Dont let anyone put you down. If someone is being hateful or confrontational or trying to pick a fight because you are gay then just walk away...it isn't worth getting hurt just because some close minded red neck cant accept the fact that we are all different. If a guy has a problem with gay guys then he probably has some "on the down low" or "closet case" issues and you really cant talk since to that kind of person. It really depends on if you live in a rural area or a city...but be happy with who you are and know that there are millions of us out here and its good to be gay!
