I somehow didn’t hear about the this happening last year, but it deeply saddens me.

While reading this the one thing that I kept thinking is how much courage you have. Not because you wrote some blog on the internet, but because you know who you are and don’t hide it. I’ve finally come to terms with myself that I am gay, but still haven’t made the move to come out to the rest of the world. I’m 25 and its been a long process. Its not a big secret, if someone asks I don’t deny.

Anyways, thank you. I admire your courage and hope that one day I will be able to have some.

Sorry. Let me rephrase that. What I actually meant was “uneducated, ignorant, redneck, pig-fucking hill people.”

I’m glad folks are alright, and I fully support fighting back, any way folks need to.

I do not support using classist language to do so: “hill people”? Please, let’s not fall into the trap every single time.

Logan, I totally feel your pain. Although I didn’t go through as much heartach in high school as you did I did have my fair share of fighting back. But within the last 5 years my life became an even harder fight. I came to the realization that I was not a lesbian but a Trans-Male. So since then I’ve had to fight the mis/pre-conception of peoples assumptions. Not only that but have to put up with close minded individuals that think because they were born with a dick they are a better man than me. And to maybe bring a laugh to your crying eyes here’s a funny answer to your question of “What the fuck is wrong with you?” Maybe what they are attacking is their own mirror image that they are too afraid to face. Instead of facing the truth that maybe what they hate isn’t what’s standing in front of them (their victims) but what’s actually standing in their own shoes. I am glad to hear that you and your friends are safe and sound.
