i know exactly how you feel. about coveting what is "expected" of you as a male: to be expected to live that american dream, to find that perfect wife (for you), to have your kids, to get that nice house with the white picket fence... it's hard to fathom why it can't be NORMAL for all... but normal doesn't fit for EVERYone...
i understand. i understand. i understand.i understand. i understand. i understand.i understand. i understand. i understand.

No, being gay isn't all it's cracked up to be (though I am unsure what you thought it was cracked up to be, hehe). I can sympathise with the "trophy" thing. Sometimes when I tell someone I'm a lesbian there reaction will be, "Cool! I've got three lesbian friends now" like they're collecting us or something.

All I can really say for the rest of the rant is that you're still young. Hang in there. Hopefully your feelings will change in time. I know that's no help at all but I felt I needed to say something.

Here for you. <3

Hey I know we haven't spoken for a while but I just want to say that yeah I've been there too.
I always wanted a wife, kids, a nice house and a nice job. Just to be considered normal in society but there's no use denying anything or trying to be something you're not.
All I can say is that it will work out for you. I was in the exact some position not too long ago and thankfully my current boyfriend came along and showed me that it doesn't all have to be like that. You can lead a perfectly normal life with someone the same sex that you love.
Sorry if this is a bit random because we haven't spoken for ages and I'm sure I just sound stupid... But yeah.

First I have to clarify that I see a huge difference in sexual orientation and sexual behavior. I do believe that with strength you can decide your orientation, and I do believe with little to none you can restrain your behavior.

Secondly, I don't think it really matters what field you're playing or what game it is. There's always going to be highs and lows just for being yourself, so it's redundant to over glorify or whine about it. Being used for what or who you are isn't new; whether your gay, straight, bi, or if it doesn't even have to do with sexual orientation. People will befriend you for some of the weirdest reasons. I see it most commonly when all the punk kids are extremely curious and easy to befriend the new goth guy, but not the black kid.

As cheesy as it sounds, you really do have to suck it up or just change if it really bothers you. There's always worse.
