One of the Sims2 sites I go to had a thread that brought tears to my eyes. The site is centered around Gay Simmers and everyone is really nice. The thread in question was a guy talking about how he was trying to find a way to tell his Italian Catholic mother that he was gay and how his family reacted to them finding out. From there other members shared their stories. To live a life where you are made to feel different is just so beyond me. But to not even be able to share your life with your family just aches. Imagine knowing that being honest about who you are could destroy the love that you were brought up by. One man spoke of how he heard his father crying and it still tears at him. It doesn't matter how successful these men will be. They will always be looked at as being *gay*. The gay son. The gay politician. It's one step away from pink triangles being sewn to their clothing. For some the triangles are already there... sewn in by family and friends. When you judge others you are judging yourself... just remember that.
