And what exactly promotes apathy within the gays/lesbians/bi's/trans?
Sometimes I feel like the LGBT isn't as concerned as they should be about politics, in America politics have so much influence in how we live a fee life here. Of course I'm not oblivious to the fact that the gay rights movement has made great strides, but I feel like we can do so much more, we just need to be more confident in ourselves.
Many LGBT's lack that confidence to be successful in something they truly desire, so in turn they don't care about it, they ignore it, until sometimes it's too late.
With so many suicides last year all over the news related to bullying and the privacy of LGBT individuals, it's made my body spin around and around in pain. How is it that we could have allowed something like this to happen? They could have been stopped, someone could have intervene, but no one did, all of people still died.
Some people argue that we're not a "community", but I feel that if you're a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender who you embrace that you're part of this community, so why not help create a more welcoming community, have a structured community, one that where we stand together we're strong together.
