“In the old days talks would have made me angry. But now that I've come out, everyone knows the truth. That's like a protective shield against comments like that. Stupid remarks and jokes no longer hurt me, because I can stand by being gay. Nowadays I can even laugh at jokes about gays. Now I feel free, hungry and strong.” StrongHurtLaughingStupidGayJokesHungryCommentHurt MeBeing Gay Author:Orlando Cruz
