Remove expectations. Those who reject you don’t have your best interests at heart. Human nature is all about self-preservation. When we reject something or someone, it’s because it or they don’t fall in line with what we “expect” from them. Remove those expectations. Allow yourself to understand that when somebody rejects us for being gay, they’re doing so because we don’t fit into their mold. But that is just one persons opinions/standards/expectations.
Those are not reflective of the rest of the world. So don’t let those expectations fuel your fear. There are still so many people who believe that being gay is a choice. That doesn’t make them your mortal enemies, it just means that they haven’t caught up to the rest of the world yet. Don’t be afraid of meeting those people because those are the people who, after they get to know you, will change their minds and feelings and THOSE are the moments that will restore your faith in humanity.
I'm going to post several of these over the next week or so!
