People are most often afraid of changes; what's different from what they're used to, to be narrow or close-minded, so if you love and respect yourself for who you are as well as what you wish to be, to have that one strength, then that's a life to be worthy for. Don't let other people's judgements of you be your own.

Ahh... I see what you mean now after reading several of your other pieces. I don't see anything wrong with homosexuality. But the problem today is some people are just plain ignorant and blind about the world regardless of what they think is right and wrong and what happens next: their negative beliefs about others are inculcated into their practices and thoughts.
Other people are not you nor do they understand so what gives them the right to judge. Love thy neighbor as thyself but to judge them at the same time? So what does that become? --> Hypocrisy and Hate. And honestly I don't respect that kind of hate. Hate, judgements, and condemnations all just because you want to be yourself and no one else.
Listen. Life is a struggle. Keep fighting for what you believe in and for who you are compared to the rest of the world. If you become someone else that isn't you at all, who then will be you in the world?

So never give up. Don't surrender...
