    I feel like I'm way too involved in spreading gay culture. I completely out and I try to educate anyone on gay marriage laws and the facts. I invited people to the gay pride parade and people didn't know what it was. I posted a photo on facebook like this:

    and nobody knew what it was. I feel like I try too hard...I don't know, should I stay silent, or speak up?

    Continue speaking. I certainly don't have the guts to do it. :slight_smile:

    Yeah, but I mean, I feel like people are getting annoyed with me saying stuff about gay stuff.

    Well, how often do you do it? Do you try switching up the people?

    So long as it isn't your most common topic by a long shot, I think you're ok. Most straight people won't be too involved in gay culture though, and likely won't really care to be, so if that's all you talk about with your straight friends, they might get a bit tired of it.

    For this exact reason you should speak up. Your trying to better our world. If you try you WILL make a difference. Your doing a good thing and you shouldn't stop as long as your not forcing on people if they are willing to listen then by all means but forcing it on people can do more harm then good sometimes. ANYWAYS my point is your doing a good thing for the right reasons so don't stop make a difference, you have a strong voice so use it

    I post stuff about gay rights and gay-related subjects and the only ones that comment are my two friends, and one's gay.

    Keep informing them, but don't be annoying about it. They need to know that we aren't sex monsters.

    I think you should continue speaking up, but don't over do it either.
