I sort of get what he’s saying, and I don’t think he’s trying to say “hey, you know what, I’m better than you because I’m gay” I think it’s more like, “sometimes being gay is proper shit spesh when your young and you feel like it’s you vs the world, and because of that I’m a better person than I might have been. Not better than you, or something, just better in myself”
Then the god bit, wahtever floats you gravy hon.
I know what he means, I don’t want to speak for anyone else, but I went on a ‘journey’ from denial, to sick scared, to resentment, to hating myself, to falling in love, to acceptance, to celebration.
Last thing: I have a very close friend, who’s nose is very slightly bent to the left because of me, she stood in front of a punch that was aimed at me, and got her nose bust for her trouble, that’s a debt I can never repay, but I can try to be a better person, and it helps to remind myself of that punch when I feel a bit shit.
