The world is a mean and nasty place. If I was openly practicing my sexual preference I'd be scorned for it, no doubt.
Then again, I myself hold strong prejudice against others.

In the end, we're all just people who fear what we don't know.

Yes I have dealt with some really shitty attitudes after coming out.
Yes I have accepted the nonacceptance.
Yes I used to be asexual, but it seems I've had a hormonal reawakening or something like that.
Yes I've always been a homo before being asexual for a while.
Yes I've been threatened constantly for being openly gay.
Yes I've got a "dirty" mind, but at least it's open.
Yes, I have accepted myself.

No, I haven't regretted a thing.
and no, I don't intend to chase barn animals.  :P

The situation of  Tyler Clementi was about many things, but the two important things that I interpreted from the suicide is that today's society needs to learn how to treat another person with privacy+decency, and that perhaps he killed himself in fear because of what people would do with him or how people would think about him because society as a majority is still that intolerant, especially in certain areas of the country and world. Everybody can't live in San Fran...

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but should it extend as far as hurting others because of bigotry?

No.

Was bullying the kid perhaps a subconscious justification for watching this?

No, there's a consciousness to this.

Now, my question… who's going to stop RPing with me knowing that I am bisexual?

Not me, I'd RP with anybody of any sexual orientation as long as the RP follows the rules and settings. I would RP with you but I'm no longer playing PS. If I ever come back I won't shun you though.


Sorry, seems I've repeated myself a bit in this post.
