"You can't let them scare you out of being yourself" is something all LGBT people can and should live by. Like, all of us. Just all of us.

I was making a very broad and general statement, that is true, though. While I myself haven't lived in a situation where my livelyhood was endangered for just being gay, what with me living in a first world country and all... but I have met people who have. Friends of mine do live in situations like this and it is sad. It is sad that such a thing still exists in the world.
But that makes it all the more important to either fight for your right to be who you are, or escape to a place where you can.
I know, easier said then done, but something has to happen.
