As a gay person, my life has been marginalized.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My being gay was something of not great interest to me.
I kind of live my life as an example, and I just never felt like I had to be on the cover of a magazine announcing that I was gay; it's just who I am. I just live my life, and I never really thought about it.
The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.
Most simply but profoundly, I chose to live an honest life, which I think as a gay person is not a given.
Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life.
I've been gay since the day I was born.
My life has been immensely enriched by gay mentors, colleagues and friends, and any discrimination and persecution of gay people is unacceptable.
I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.
In many ways, my attachment to human freedom was completely compatible with my right to live freely as a homosexual.
When I was growing up I didn't know what it meant to be a happy, successful grown-up gay person, and now I do. I feel like I'm setting an example for people everywhere.
