I love how curious straight people are. Once they find out you're gay, they start asking so many questions. It's funny to see what can pass through people's mind.
But I won't be talking about the questions I get today, no. I will be talking about a question I often hear or read about, but have never been asked.
'If there was a pill that can turn you straight, would you take it?'
Well, if you asked me that a couple of years ago, my answer would have been a big yes.
But over the years, I thought about it and now, there is no way you can convince me to take this pill.
First of all, I've always been gay. For me it has never been 'straight until proven otherwise'. I've always known I was gay, I might not have been able to give it a name or say it out loud when I was a kid, but I have always known, and I cannot possibly imagine myself being straight. I just can't.
But what changed during the last couple of years is that I discovered what the LGBT community is all about. You might hear stories about suicides, depressions, you might hear stories about people being kicked out of their homes, people being killed because of their sexuality, you might hear stories about gay celebrities, gay men and women who changed the world, but all these stories, the good and the bad, they all are stories of strength and courage.
So, will I ever take the pill? No, because being associated with the LGBT community is nothing but an honor.
