Jennifer Claridad, a friend in the office, had me answered these questions for her school. I might share this as well... hehehe.
1. How is it being a homosexual? is it bane or boon?
---it's both. Bane, because the way how some people see it in general makes them think that we don't merit their respect which is unfair to gays l ike us, who are principled and with high morals. Boon, because we can just befriend anybody else w/o doing much efforts. We are everybody's friend, I shall say.
2. At what age or what point in your life did you feel that you're one of them?
---15. When I started missing my junior high buddy everytime he is not around or absent. And was more convinced, that I am one of the chosen few, whem something happened to us. Hahaha.
3. Did you try to go against it? About being a homosexual?
---Many times. I was thinking of what will people say, my friend, my family and my parents who are always expecting me to give them ---grandchildren. But the more I countered the thought, the more it made me think and realize that I am gay.
4. Who was the first person you confided/revealed your identity to and what was her/his reaction?
---I never told anyone before. They just knew it. lol
5. Do your parents know about it? Did they accept you?
---Yes, I told them during my graduation in high school where I surprised them with some little awards I got; I always thought of it as a good timing. I did it just as I planned but was surprised when I heard from them "We knew it. We just waited for you to tell us" ---Those are very comforting words I've ever heard... :)
6. If you're a parent of a homosexual, how would you handle it?
---I'm gonna dissuade my son, tell him the pros and cons, that it's impossible for gays to have a happy relationship with guys, if ever there is --- it's one in a million chance. But whatever is his decision, I'm gonna give him the same support that was given to be by my family.
7. Even if you're a homosexual, do you still find the opposite sex attractive? In what way?
---Yes, I still admire the way how girls look and how they carry themselves but beyond that ---nothing more. Not compared to men where I play with my imagination, thinking, fantasizing and worshipping their big muscles... Harharhar.
8. On discrimination of homosexual in society, what can you say about it?
---They just fail to see the goodness in us, the things we can do more and the achievements we can more accomplish than them.
9. How can a homosexual gain respect from the people around them?
---By not being too loud, by respecting themselves first and others as well.
10. Are you happy with what you are now?
---So much! That no word can explain. It makes me happy every time I make someone smile when they are the lowest point in their lives and someone laugh when their day didn't start right. I maybe a failure when it comes to relationship but that doesn't hinder me from being happy. I was able to get thru life since then w/o a partner so, I guess, a few more years won't hurt. *wink
11. Lastly, what's the best thing of being gay?
---When someone respects you, trusts you and believes you.
