Need LGBT backup and support, nowhere else to turn to :(

[Bowyn Aerrow]

Ok.... first of all a genuine THANK YOU for all and everything you've done to make the world a better place!! That's exactly what I strive to do every day. I understand why in perspective you wouldn't want to waste any more of your energy with some silly online trolls, perhaps I should do the same. It is just SO irritating, considering the internet is where everyone socializes nowadays. It's not something we can just ignore or log out of anymore, we basically rely on it especially young gays who cannot reach out to anyone in their personal life for fear and safety reasons. So that's why I'm so bothered, that the tremendous amount of hate still prevails and we cannot do a thing about it. But that's the thing, can we? I know I can't make a difference all by myself. But PEOPLE, together, have power.

Also, I understand you totally about the HIV thing. I actually feel the same way about a lot of guys my age, they're CARELESS when it comes to safe sex. Please do not lump me in with those types, I actually haven't even had sex in over a year because I worry so much and feel like most guys will lie to me or do something against my will. But anyway, I know a lot (not all) about the AIDS epidemic, so of course I always have that in the back of my mind.

Now imagine being your age without an internet where you can seek help with your gay problem(s).

Your gay parents (us old folk) and gay grandparents (our gay parents) and going back to the Time O'Rome didn't have that "support". We didn't have it back in our day and we turned out ok enough.

Today that support does exist. Right here in fact is one.



Yeah, the fear of AIDS and other STD's had me turn down lots of opportunities when it comes to being a potential slut. Some-days I'm sorry for it, others I'm glad for it. As for liars, nothing new under the sun. I knew guys who got full blown aids because back in our time it was a deadly disease and guys were vindictive, mean or so selfish that they lied for the sex knowing full well they carried a deadly transmittable disease.

Today we have "Don't feed the Troll" as a meme, which means don't try to argue with someone who is going to just keep arguing their stupidity until kingdom come.

Report the comment(s)/videos whatever it is that annoys you after you attempt rational discussion. Lots of sites including YouTube do indeed try to maintain control over this sort of thing because it can be construed as bullying, which apparently in this generation its a high offense like treason instead of "just a part of life".

Its not like you have to face these people face to face day after day... like I and many others had to do a few decades ago. ITs not like you have a whole society seeking to drain you of your blood and leave you staked out for the ants.

When my second partner kicked the crap out of me the police that came laughed and felt it was all good and well because we were only "faggots". Today such behavior from US police is a firing offense. More of a landmine than if the police shoot you while your handcuffed and on the ground.
