Everyone sees Cape Cod as the picture-esque place to spend a wonderful vacation. But as a local on this island, I know first hand of the ugly feelings behind the scenes. My mom is a lesbian, the majority of my friends are gay, and I am bisexual myself. Since I came out in the beginning of high school, I have suffered in more ways than one. People view me as a failure who will never achieve anything becuase of my mom. Because to most people, a guy person cannot raise a child properly. I want my mom to be able to marry who she wants, and the same for myself if I find the love of my life is a woman. I put up with gay bashing on my friends and myself, and this year I decided enough was enough.
I know pretty much head my school's gsa, which we call ALGSS, Alliance of Lesbian, Gay, and Straight Students. I have gone in front of my school and part of my community and voiced my views. I want to feel comfortable with myself and not feel as though I have to hide a part of myself. I will change something in the world. And I want this to be it.
