and I'm not saying any names, the person knows who he is, as I'm sure everyone else does, that he never intends his words to hurt that it's how people take them.
I have written this post a couple of times, deleted it, written it again, cancelled it, debating whether it should be written. Deciding finally that what I have to say on behalf of a very special young man is truly *worth* saying!
There are some things that can't be misconstrued and that do indeed hurt people to the quick. I read this board from time to time and have seen what has been posted. The old rhyme 'sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me' just isn't true! Words do hurt as many people know, and not just gays either. They hurt all of us.
I would encourage this person to kindly think about what he has said and will say. Know that it is ok to be human and to make mistakes, but never is it ok to demean another and hurt them beyond all repair. I think that really puts you on the level of those that gay-bash.
This may be an old argument Tim, but as I said, this needed to be said for the sake of the special young man. Even though he has moved beyond the hatefuul words said to him, I know from time to time he wishes they had never been said!
I hope you will allow this to remain so that everyone here can read them, reflect and realize that all people are capable of being hurt.
