text: It all depends on where you live. I am gay and live in Provo, Utah, but for the most part I have been treated very well. I often notice that most of the time, people who find out that I am gay tend to be a lot more careful what they say around me so as not to offend me. A lot of people are also very nice once they find out because they also don't want to offend me or hurt my feelings. The only negative situations I have ever encountered were not directed at me personally, but people sometimes have said that they don't agree with homosexuality as a lifestyle but they're always usually pretty quick to add that it doesn't affect how they view me as an individual, which is okay with me. I don't expect everyone to accept my sexuality. My personal motto is that if I expect people to be open-minded toward me, then I should pay them the same respect whether I agree with them or not. Ce'st la vie!
