you really think people dont know gay people are gay
There are guys ballet dancing around on TV and lisping and camping it up and then explaining hopw they came out to their parents,, fucks sake we get it...
Courage?
Maybe in the 60s when being gay was a crime, fucks sake whats brave about it today?
Yes, I really think there are folks who are gay and you'd never know it unless they told you. You are talking about stereotypes which doesn't apply to everyone gay. There are ballet dancers who are straight. Not all gay folks have a lisp. Some straight men seem effeminent and so on.
Yes, Coming out gay takes courage. There are gay youths who come out to their parents who then kick them out of the house. There are thousands of violient attacts and murders against people who are either gay or appear to be gay. These are but a few examples:
