I was wondering what helps you feel proud/pride in being a LGBT person. I have to say mine is quite simple. I have become fascinated by the gay guys on Youtube, particularly Matthew Lush and his ilk, they give me hope.
I feel proud that i dare to just be who i am and that i am lucky to be one. I will most likely be in a relationship with a woman, and i Get girls better than guys haha. No but seriously, can't really say why. i am just proud of it you know.
I don't feel proud about being gay either. I'm definitely not ashamed of it, but I don't feel proud about being half Turkish either. Or left-handed.
Proud that I had the courage to come out to those I have so far from an honesty standpoint. As far as my sexuality, I can't say I'm proud of being bi inherently.
Yeah. I don't know if I'm proud of being gay, but I'm certainly proud not to be homophobic. I don't know if I've ever felt pride in direct opposition to homophobia though.
I don't know that I am proud to be gay--but I am definitely proud to be out. I'm proud to be part of a community of people who have risked the loss of most of the important things in their lives to live a life of truth and love. I'm actually very proud of myself and my community in that regard.
I'm proud that I'm getting my college degree, speak four languages, and have a very nice life and have beaten the odds. They told me that I wouldn't amount to anything. Well LOOK at me now!
I feel like i wrote that last part wrong. It's not that i am proud of being gay like "hahah i'm gay look at me! I'm so proud!" I'm just happy and proud that i accept myself. It would honestly feel easier to be straight, but i dont like to admit that to myself.
eh, i lost alot of things i had pride in, and i wont ever get them back. i dont specifically feel proud about being gay. to be honest its such a small part of my life. i guess im pretty prideless. in highschool i had loads of pride. i used to glow
I'm just proud that my sexuality hasn't been something that has been terrible for my life. It was hard being in the closet for a while, believing that my father wouldn't love me anymore, and I still haven't come out to a lot of people (including my extended family), but in the end I'm proud that I'm realized parts of who I am and I'm feeling better about myself as a person because of it. About the only thing I'm majorly proud of right now is that I'm managing to pass all of my classes while juggling my hectic schedule :lol:
I'm proud that I had the courage to come out and be exactly who I am, but I agree with some others in that being gay wasn't something I did or chose, it's just who I am.
I am proud to be a family oriented person. I am proud to be someone people can look up to. I am proud that I have proved many people wrong about where I would be in life, I intend to prove more as well. I am proud that I stick with my values in life. I am proud I have survived a lot of things in life and haven't let my past define my future.
Just having the courage to be myself. There's a lot of things lgbt people go through that straight people don't, so having the strength to deal with all that is a good reason to be proud.
