I really couldn't ask for a more accepting family.

My partner, who was born in the south, wasn't so lucky with his family, and had to put up with some pretty nasty shit from some of his relatives....

All said and done since we've been together (for about 7.5 years now), we've really never had too many "bad experiences" with people. But then again, we're both pretty young (27), and times have changed a lot. I'm sure some of the older fags could give you a lot more horror stories than I could.

Although, our president DOES say we're a clear and present danger to the American Family, and is trying to get constitutional amendments passed against us. Us scary scary lil faggots gonna break up people's marriages and shit somehow.....

Will and Grace and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy did wonders for our image, hehe.

I've never been to Europe, but I've heard that virtually ALL men in countries like England and France are gay, or at least act like they are, so I imagine it'd be a non-issue over there.
