    All things considered, how much hell has your LGBT issues given you?


    I personally voted a fair amount.

    Most days being a gay man doesn't bother me.

    Unfortunately, on the days I do hurt from rejection issues, it hurts down to the bone.:tears:


    How about you?

    A whole lot. Being transsexual is a fucking nightmare.

    Gay, not so much. I am proud of being gay.

    Last night, someone shouted FAG at me from their car. I was out running six miles.

    It hurt my feelings a little, because I was being misgendered in addition to abused for my sexual orientation. :frowning2:

    It hasn't been hell, but it's been difficult at times. The struggle is part of what makes me the woman I am.

    Not so much from other people because I'm not out to many, but from myself and my identity issues.

    None. Difficult at times - yes. Hell? Nah. I'm better than that.

    I voted a lot. Pretty much all from being trans.

    I'm surprised you didn't put a 'hell' option at the top.

    This, particularly the bolded, but it's a kind of a toss-up for the first part. I experience a ton of -indirect- homophobia from family, etc. due to me not being out to anybody. Then again, you can call it an issue related to the title but I've had my fair share of reaching out to more...local lgbt folk and they're just as bad because they shun others for their own stupid, bs reasons. It doesn't help that, with these added on, I have my own personal issues I'm trying to work on.

    That's why I would originally call it hell(-ish) because it's like being attacked from all different angles/sides/whatever and feels like I have nobody at times but I'd say it has been down to 'a lot'(which I voted) level since being on this site. I feel considerably less alone and crappy with having found this site as almost like a second home. :surprised

    A lot.

    I see so much hate everywhere, even from the LGBT community. Pretty much feel like I don't belong anywhere.

    I get a few jokes for being gay from my friends. But I know they don't mean it but It gets annoying sometimes.

    Not entirely much. Have only come out to my sister IRL.. and most of my friends online have accepted me. Everyone so far has accepted me. but it kills me to not come out to the rest of my family right now

    Though it has been quite a hellish nightmare for me internally, I'm still quite closeted, thus I've not been ostracized or kicked out or anything for it, so I cannot bring myself to claim anything beyond a "fair amount." My heart goes out to those who have been abused and rejected for it; what a cruel world we live in!

    It depends on how you define Hell. Because nothing in my life could beat what I've read in the likes of Dante's Inferno. Although it sucked a lot to get hit, it ENDED.

    I couldn't give a flying fuck about people saying I contaminate things by touching them or just saying I'm a weirdo in general. Hell, I couldn't give half a fuck. Especially not in this global economy with a serious fuck deficiency.

    Although I do agree with the good feelings about this thread. Pain is pain. I think it takes real courage to confront our feelings. Nobody should be forced to hurt just because they're LGBT. (&&&) I sense that now would be a bad time to make a joke about Dennis Nilsen. I usually judge more by the actions of a person rather than something they can't help.

    I don't know if I would call it hell. It's definetly hard though.
    I get a lot of indirect homophobia. I know if I come out it won't be pretty either. It's tough.
