What can we learn from the cancellation of the prom at Constance McMillen’s Mississippi high school?
Constance rules!
This is why Congress has to pass the Student Non-Discrimination Act
Hope isn’t lost -- look how many folks stepped up to hold a non-discriminatory prom!

HI my name is preston.
   I'm gay and I dont care that i am. To me its like love and compassion. Im 14 years old and go to middle school. Its so hard to be gay. Even though almost all my freinds know that im gay and support me into being myself. My best freind is bysexual and he has a boyfreind and im happy for him, but i envy him. Is that wrong? I want someone in my life who cares about me who can talk to me anytime when he neede to. I want a boyfreind so bad i cant stand it. im so lonely. I knew i was gay since i was 9 years old. before my hormones kicked in. i just knew i was gay. Im attracted to some of my guy freinds but there straight or not.
  I want someone to hold me and cherish and i will do the same. I dont know where to find a boyfreind. some one please help me. i want to go to a gay support group but theres nothing around in my area. i have dreams about men all my life. I just want a gay freind to talk to. i would talk to zac but hes always with his boyfreind. My parents dont even know. I tried to tell my mom but she said that she doesnt like gays so i didnt tell her. I desperately want a freind. that i can talk to. i know my blogg is stupid or amatured. im lonely< i dont have no one to talk to to love to kiss to cry on a shoulder. I also need a freind. thanks for listening.

I'm commenting on this because I can sympathize with you so well.

I know how it feels to want to love someone, to want to be with someone but there's no one around. There aren't really any other girls in my area who share my preferences. I know how it feels to want someone to hug and hold when there's no one there. My mother doesn't approve of any homosexuals. There's no gay support groups around here either.

If you just want to talk, do so at civilhandsunclean@gmail.com. I'm avaliable pretty often. I'm a teenage bisexual female myself. I hope things get better for you.

I am so sorry! I kind of know how you feel. Everyday I long for the same thing. No one knows about my sexuality. I am female and bisexual. I am 14 years old, too. There are no support groups around me, either. If you need a friend, I am here. You can contact me anytime. My email address is oheather_13@yahoo.com. Just send me an email. ok? I hope to hear from you soon. Hang in there, Preston.

A lot of people feel the way you do, whether they're gay, lesbian, bisexual, or straight. So you're definitely not alone. It's great that your friends know and that they accept you. It may take some time before you find someone you can have a good relationship with, but you know that they're worth the wait. I know everyone says it, but if you just hang in there and grow to be truly yourself, someone will see that and they'll want to be with you as much as you want to be wtih them.

 Hello Preston,

My name is Rikki, I am an online peer educator for youthresource. I am happy to know you are okay with being gay and have friends whom support you!

I also want you to know it is okay to be a little envious of your friend, I mean we all want to be loved and wanted.

I just wanted to say that, there are gay groups everywhere. I can help you locate some if you can give me an idea of where you like what major city you are near, etc...

I also wanted to say that it is perfectly normal wanting to have someone to be close with. Open up to Zac, he is your best friend. he'll listen.

When I was younger I joined a gay myspace. If you choose to do this, be very careful and I recommend meeting only people in your age range and taking steps to protecting your identity and where you live.

Lastly, don't feel like you have to tell your parents, if you do, do it when you feel like it is the right time.

Maybe start a GSA at your middle school!

I hope I was helpful. If I misunderstood your post, feel free to correct me so I can better understand and maybe help you find clubs / orgs in your area.

Rikki
