Is it still out of the ' social norm ' to simply live together without the so called blessing of marriage.

There is something to be said about - ' they know not what they say '.

No really. As a homosexual, you're out of the social norm.

Would you not expect to be treated as outside of the social norm? Would you expect to be treated as "just another guy"?

Would you not associate with a certain group of ppl who accept you as their "normal"?

I mean, really.

Not being mean to homosexuals, just trying to fit them in.

Doesn't make sense. Attitudes like yours is the cause of their pain.

I would expect people in this day & age to understand/study & accept the complexity of their own species

Do you really believe that the main criterion for fitting into the social norm is being a heterosexual? If only it were that easy. Unless they were all homosexuals, the 61.6% of Australians who voted for marriage equality created the current norm. Those who still judge people only by whom they sleep with are the ones who don't fit in. And it is the young people who are leading the change to a norm more befitting of the increasing majority who think humanness is more important than sexual preference.

I don't know what the kid expected, but I'm guessing he was hoping that the lingering ugliness around him would go away.

And back to the OP.

I don't care whether this guy (Wil) was gay or not - he apparently put himself out there - on social media.

For his convictions.

Sadly his ' convictions ' didn't include others.

He threw himself in front of a train - with no thought of the driver, the bystanders.- the consequences.

Screwed - just screwed.

Really? Have you been living under a rock?

What other traits (excluding criminality, which is a separate issue) do you see as being so far outside the 'social norm' that those posessed of them should expect to be abused and villified?

[lionrose.7]

Gee Icy I am actually shocked that people like you still exist.

Is it your up bringing or have you just turned out this way.

What did he expect?

Under the same circumstances would you ask this same question of someone with a physical disability?

[lionrose.7]

I have known heaps of Gay people, one very close to me.

A long time ago when he told me he was Gay I said fine but you are not wearing my clothes, he said I am Gay not a drag Queen.

There is a difference, life is about learning

Why pain, then, if it's so natural to be homosexual? It's not. Natural, meaning according to nature, is heterosexual.

If you're homesexual, you're different. Live with it and be yourself. Of course ppl wiil pick on you. It's not so complex. You like to interact sexually with ppl of the same gender as yours. What's complex about it? 

It goes on and has so for as long as humans have walked the earth

No need to challenge ppl by shoving your sexual preference in their faces.
