    I'm new to this site. I'm somewhat nervous, because from experience, I have received some pretty hostile reactions from members of the "LGBT" community because of some of my viewpoints related to the lack of emphasis on bisexuality as opposed to lesbian, gay, and transgender individuals. In addition, I criticized how from my standpoint, some gay rights organizations perpetuate stereotypes which offend those whose gender expression does not align with the image they portray in the public eye. I unintentionally upset some individuals, the experience made me weary of socializing with other "non-heterosexual" persons for fear of being verbally attacked because I unintentionally upset someone. I have worked up the courage to meet others in a less direct/more discreet medium, to learn about others experiences, and maybe discover more about myself.
