What kind of advice would you give 5 years from today?

Imagine it's 5 years from today and that Yahoo Answers is still around. What advice would you give someone who is just discovering his/her sexuality in a world that has still not learned to accept us for who we are? What would you have learned from all the wisdom that you have received from this forum? What advice and words of wisdom would you pass on?What kind of advice would you give 5 years from today?
I would give them the same advice I have always been giving.





At the end of the day, you go home with your sexuality, not anyone else. If you accept yourself for that matter, no one else's opinion should matter, too much.What kind of advice would you give 5 years from today?
The more visible gay people are, the more straight people get ';used'; to us. It's the responsibility of each gay person to decide for him or herself whether to live ';out'; - but for those who do so, in spite of the initial shock, despair, and wailing, it makes the way for the next generation easier.





When I came out in 1975, it was like the end of the world in my family. It was literally like I set off a bomb in my kitchen. A few years later, it was the elephant in the room: we didn't talk about it, but they could deal, at least. And today, people are MUCH more open, it is so much less problematic and dramatic for people coming out now.





So my advice for today is: Come out, come out, whoever you are! And my advice for 5 years from today is the same - come out, stand up, be counted, and live your life authentically. You get exactly ONE time around. Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it.





Or others will be happy to tell you how to live it. Your choice.
I would tell them that they don't need a BF/GF just to have one. And to never cheapen themselves. To stand for something or they'll fall for anything. Live life to it's fullest but remember to use protection. I'd tell them to be the best person they can be for that is the key to finding true happiness. Education is the key, and with the internet you have the keys to the kingdom at your fingertips. And remember, true freedom is only achieved when you stand up for the rights of everyone, even those with whom you disagree. As Thomas Jefferson felt, if it doesn't harm anyone or cost anyone anything then it should be allowed, even if you disagree.
I do not see the advice changing that much, under the circumstances you describe.
love your self for who you are and be you and don,t let any body change you
Same advise us today. Be safe, be sure and no regret.
