Is your best friend from high school still around?

You're still the same person - just a little different. It's not like you turned from a human into a box 😱
To them it was like announcing I was from Mars. That person felt like I had betrayed them, so they threatened to do something rather extreme when...let's just say everything is in place...
I don't understand these anti LGBT people.
Agreed, we're still people, after all. Still human beings, trying to live our lives, just with aspects beyond "the norm" that we didn't choose and we didn't ask for
Until you're part of a small group of righteous church goers who belt the word of God down you! 😛
Luckily my church is supportive. Not in the bible sense obviously but in the way they consider everyone in the community family.
I wish more religions would be open to us. Soany LGBTQ+ people are religious and want a place to belong, but because we're not "normal" by their standards, they're frequently excluded. It's a shame.
Anglicans are leading the movement with supporting LGBT. A lot of Anglican churches in New Zealand are actually registered as diverse. The conference I am going to next weekend is part of the LGBT Anglican movement.
I could've stayed as I was, the most privileged position in society, straight white male, but it wasn't me, it wasn't something I could be. So I'll be the nail that sticks out, and if I get hammered because of it, so be it
Good, more of it! The more accepting they become the better
I don't get so much abuse being gay but I have had a few people have their say about it.
Yeah, fortunately anti-gay hatred has somewhat reduced from the levels in the past, but it is still out there.
I wish I could say the same, lol, I lost so many for being trans.
Still shootings in gay clubs overseas etc. 🙁
Life happened to all of us and we are no longer close to one another. I speak with a few of them online but haven't seen them in years.
I understand you are in New Zealand, right next to Australia. You guys don't understand what's going on outside your borders. So let's "lecture." I'm not being a dick, so please don't feel like I'm attacking you.
In some places, like the Middle East.. you CAN'T be walking around and saying you're gay. Its a death sentence. In some places in the east they are "okay" with it, but not necessarily looked at as "good."
Now, in U.S. its more or less acceptable to "be gay" but society more or less "ociscised" them. And, likewise, they are currently... as of right now - being co-opted. It's currently being used as a political weapon. The left sees LBGT as an ally, but not everyone wants to be associated with the left and their ideas. They are seen as "groomers." I'm not gonna explain that one, because honestly, its right up there with... pedo. I'm not explaining that either.
In my opinion, I don't like the idea of gays, but I'm not gonna hate on you or anyone in the group. Its YOUR life. You do what you want. That's how I am. As long as you're cool, I'm cool.
Just keep these weirdo creeps away from kids is all I ask, btw.
As for the topic: I had many best friends in my early kid life, but I didn't really understand what a friend really meant or best friend(s) so I destroyed that. In my teenage years, I've grown to understand friendships, I had a best friend that ended up betraying me. I made a new best friend, that also betrayed me. Towards the end of my high school years, I gained a few long-time friends/buddies. I keep up with them via Facebook, Instagram etc.
