    You're not doing anything wrong. Some people are just ignorant, and some are just assholes. Some are both. If your friends are giving you shit about being gay, then unfortunately they're probably not really your friends. As for the girl you know who's treated better than you....everyone's experience is different. It's nothing you're doing though.

    Your friends saying that 'girls are so much prettier' is no different from them saying that chicken nuggets are better than cheeseburgers (or vice versa). It's just a matter of personal taste and there is no 'right' or 'wrong' in the matter.

    You can't be in the wrong, nor can you be wrong for being gay. Although some people may try to tell you otherwise because they're ignorant or malicious or are trying to manipulate you into doing what they want because you being different from them upsets their cozy little world of emotional complacency.

    You're absolutely not wrong for being gay. It's who you are. You don't have a choice remember.
    Your friends may want you to conform to society's norm in order not to disrupt the harmony within the group. If they don't understand or are not really comfortable with you being gay, then they are probably not real friends.
    Girls maybe better looking to them. To you they're not. Your friends need to realise this.
    Have you tried having it out with them to determine why they think like this?

    Nothing is wrong with it but something is wrong with those 'friends' of yours.

    No, it's part of you. You are absolutely right. Your friend just doesn't love the same people you do, and that's ok. It's just a different experience. But never, ever feel this way. Smile and be proud, because that's who you are. :slight_smile:

    Oh dear. Since when is my age 16? I swear, EC, I'm 13. What? Did I put my own birthday in wrong? This is too depressing. I'm going to go take a bath and read a good book and listen to bohemian rhapsody and cry.

    There's nothing wrong with being gay - some people are gay, some people are straight. There's nothing wrong with being left handed, or your skin colour, or being tall or short, or a man or a woman. Like Todd said, it's all about preference. If women are so much prettier, why are the majority of women attracted to men - wouldn't they want to be with the "better" sex? It's illogical. Your friends just happen to be into women because they're straight. I can't understand why straight guys wouldn't be into Justin Hartley, but that's just me :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
