A lot of gays spiral into depression without anyone even knowing they're gay. They're scared to admit they are because they fear the reactions of friends, random people, parents, ...seems kinda ironic seeing the stances and responses ppl have stated.... ive heard ppl say that their isnt a certain way a man should be, woman should be, and there isnt a way a gay person should be...and mannerism, actions and behaviors arent neccesarily associated with homosexuality. saying all this to say if their isnt a certain association of looks/action mannerism etc... link with gays. then how can they fall victim to social stigmas and prejudices. Again it isnt like being black, asian etc... where it can be simply defined just by eyeballing. So how can they be mistreated/viewed differently if they look etc.. the same? Im not condoning it but in order to be treated unjust, they must do something outlandish, act abnormal of such in order to garner attention to be discriminated against. Now i cant say this behavior is cause by them being depressed. But in reference to your point i agree with the other person that the depression/or whatever it is in which makes them act in a manner that garners attention to be discriminated comes first and not the other way around.
It just doesnt make sense if they are truly gay, and this is just how they natural feel and it isnt a choice...why would they be sad/upset about this choice? I hear what your saying as far as how society views it, but as many have stated you really cant view gay, it isnt a skin color or something visual. Its almost like they are going out the way to be seen as homosexual, just to be mistreated, just to say they are bring mistreated.
As soon as you let someone know you're gay people are bound to hear about it. Even if you're completely normal the sole fact you're gay will make people bully you.
