The gay community just recognizes what their closets are and we straight have to spend years trying to figure out which closet we are trapped in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's good to get out of the closet and talk about it and find out other people's views.
We all have our own closets to come out of.
I know what it's like to be in the closet! I know what it's like to be bullied and attacked because someone or some group thought I was different or below them... so, I'm coming out of the closet as an ally of equality for everyone; as an ally to hope.
I believe we all have different ways we came to the gay community and we can't and shouldn't be pigeon-holed into one cultural narrative which can be uninclusive and disempowering.
It's not the '90s anymore. I think the gay community is a lot more accepted these days.
The gay community has taken care of their issues and problems in terms of HIV/AIDS. They have done an incredible job. We as heterosexuals need to learn from the gay community because they have rallied together. They have sent a lot of information out there. They go get tested.
We hope we are moving toward a world where sexual orientation is not an issue, because we hate the idea of a gay ghetto. I think that it's a real shame that people become restricted by their sexuality or define their whole lives by their sexuality.
I say, 'I'm bi, my love knows no gender,' and the straight community says, 'Oh right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay!' And the gay community says, 'Yeah right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay.' They both want to push me gay.
I am a proud member of the LGBT community and could never bear the idea that someone could say I was closeted.
The gay community is very fickle. And I know because I'm part of it and I see it every day.
