Here lately my personality has changed quite a bit. I used to be an ill tempered, mean, aggressive son-of-a-bitch. But through the whole "coming out" process I have met some great people. And also I have much more respect for people I already knew, just because of their acceptance and encouragement.
Since people have been so nice and kind towards me I really feel the need to pay it back somehow. I was already a volunteer firefighter and first response for emergencies, which I now try to take even more part in, time permitting. But I recently started volunteering at a hospital to help young people with disabilities. And, on a smaller scale. I often pay for the vehicle behind me in a drive through.
I just think that theres to much hate and terrible people in the world. If more people started doing small thing like that It would be a nice change. Whether they have different views or opinions, just be nice anyway.
I especially think this is important in the gay community. Because a lot of people may have the wrong views about us. Wouldn't that maybe help change that? Maybe not soon and drastically but maybe one person at a time.
