People who hide their true sexuality are quite common now. They do this because they are afraid of what would be the reaction of the people who surround them. They have witnessed how society could downgrade or belittle a person with different sexuality. Narrow-minded people forget that they are also human beings, that they have feelings, they have a mind, and as well as they have a heart. As I can see, having homosexuality may be really difficult because people have different mindsets and different beliefs. Mostly gay people had open up to their family yet they just get rejected and disowned. That's the reason why they are pretending from the outside even though they are not comfortable and true. They are not toxic instead those narrow-minded are the toxic ones, you don't have to hurt someone's feelings to make your opinion voiced out nor contented.
The LGBT community is getting larger and now I am also glad that the people are slowly accepting them and adapting to the changes that are currently happening. We must learn to love and accept them, after all, we live the same life, we breathe the same air, we die and have the same skeleton for sure. So better treat everyone fairly give them the amount of respect so that you can also earn one. No matter how wealthy and great you are how you treat people ultimately tells all. Even Pope Francis said that "God made you like this and he loves you" And with this, the LGBT Community feels welcomed and loved in the Catholic Church. Just like how the Pope did, we must also learn to accept how they feel.
"LOVE is LOVE" as you say this word it actually holds a lot of emotions. If you feel that your different, don't make it a hindrance to put an end to what you love. Fight for it. As long as you're not hurting someone nor violating things. Love is Free and love is Peace so keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. Don't be afraid to speak the truth because at the end it will always come out yet you do it before it afters you.
