AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE STRAIGHT SPECIES

Was in the elevator going up after having my yosi (after lunch) and there were these three girls who were talking about a guy who hadto choose between a gay lover and his girlfriend. According to them, if they were in the gf's situation, they would rather be left for another girl than for a gay guy. Now here's the insulting part. And I quote, "let's understand na pag yung gay guy yung pinili, it's gonna be because of financial matter." Argh!

Are we that low? Are straight guys that abusive? Are gay guys that stupid?

It felt so weird being the only guy, gay at that, in that elevator with those girls. What I don't get is why gay guys go for straight guys when they know these guys would only use them, would empty them of their wallets. Have we not matured? Hey, it's the 21st century... or you've been sleeping all these years!

It's time we put our flags up and be proud of our being gay, of our gender, of who and what we are. It's time to come out of the shadows and let the world know we can do better, we can contribute to the society, that we actually can change the world.

Now don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against straight people. It's their prejudice and bias against "us" that puts me into a bad face. Hello!!!
