[quote=merx7ii]i have to admit though, i am/was a bit uncomfortable in the presence of lesbians or the thought of them. i don't know why. but then i met this friend of mine who's a lesbian. i got to accept it, and even though i still don't approve of a girl - girl relationship, i don't say bad things about it to her or anybody else

she's still my friend. and i accept her whole heartedly of who she is. same goes for everybody else out there![/quote]
I also have a friend way back in my hs days (that's only 3 years ago). I wasn't aware then that issues about them are necessary to be tackled. It wasn't a big deal for me then. But now, since Im now exposed to a larger environment, I can say that Im really bothered with these kind of issues.
