Being Gay is Only Part of Who You Are

Today's advice comes from Tim D.

Being LGBT is a part of who you are, but it does not define who you are and what you must think, believe, and hope for. There is as strong a current of conformity within the LGBT community as exists in most other communities, and their is a strong temptation for people who have spent the early part of their lives feeling misplaced to immerse themselves entirely in that current. That's fine, actually, but remember to come up for air. Remember that there really is no one correct way to be LGBT, and more than there is one correct way to be a man, or a woman, or a citizen. Remember that even though it is comforting to surround yourself with people who think and believe the way you do that a dissenting voice is often an invaluable treasure.
