    Honestly yeah. I was once ashamed, but it’s kinda awesome. I get a ton of experiences that I’m so grateful to have had that I wouldn’t if I wasn’t gay. I wouldn’t miss them if I didn’t know about them, but I’d never knowingly trade them. This is the way I am and I’m glad I get to be me instead of being someone else.

      I was lucky to have a supportive environment and parents, so I really never felt any “shame” over being gay - and I admit, it’s hard for me to understand why anybody would. I do live in a very ultra conservative red state, and I get a lot of bigoted small minded comments, but to me it just reflects that person’s own inner turmoil. And I really would choose being gay every time if I was given any choice of sexual orientation.
