Hasan Yahya, Ph.Ds, professor of sociology
Sociology is a science concerned with social phenomena and human interactions no matter what that phenomenon is. Being a Gay, opens new avenues to search the concept. Sociologists concern is to know attitudes of gays and how they perceive themselves in society. In this article we bring a message from a gay person to his friend, he wrote: "I realized I was gay when I was around eleven. I didn't come to terms with it until I was 14, I came out earlier this year even though I didn't really need a coming out experience."
He added: "Everyone already called me gay, the only people I need to come out to was my family. I've been called gay since I was very young, by everyone kids at school, family, and even some friends (I thought they were friends). I never really had a problem with it, it was just the whole what will people think of me. When I finally told someone it was to my best friend which I was in love with at the time and had been in love with for a long time."
The message continues to say: "He told me that he was also gay and that he liked me a lot. It was kinda perfect until he got hit by a drunk driver, worst day of my life. I haven't fully gotten over him no doubt that I will. He was my everything and I loved him more than air, and was also my best friend. It was like two lost in one. I came out to friends, then my siblings, then finally to my mom. She loves me the same and supports baby envy, since then I only dated 1 person. I'm still with that person, ill always love andre he'll always have a place in my heart."
But being gay is not a choice it is, I think, an attraction. I doubt any person would want to be a social outcast on purpose. I don't choose to like boys I just do. Being gay is beautiful, don't feel any less of a person be proud. Hey at fifteen all you can do is be happy. I'm fifteen gay and loving life. Gay is my way and I'm happy.
