Is being Gay and open more dangerous now?

[ceez]

For me..being gay is a complete non issue and always has been. I had a five minute window from the moment it occurred to me I was gay and telling my family...I was done with it. I never come out to anyone else except for a few women who would not leave me alone...eeek! I know it is a big thing for a lot of people but it would be an unnatural thing for me to "come out" to anyone...I just introduce them to my boyfriend and casually mention how much I like this or that guy and let them figure it out.

I don't care or even want to know if they have an issue...and I don't care if they like it or not. There are probably a lot of things I don't like about them and so it could be a real pissing match....and I don't want anyone's approval or even acceptance because I don't like to ask for something from others I am not sure I am willing to give in return...so tacky really to demand something from someone else you aren't willing to do yourself...

...and so I settle for basic respect from other people...I got it in the 70s...I get it today....so not much has changed for me

As for dangerous...I beat the crap out of the HS Bully in front of all his friends back in the 70s.....

.... so it seems it is a lot less dangerous for the bullies now than it was back then
