I don't know anyone with AIDS or HIV, but i would like to think that i'm a good enough friend to stick by them through anything - including this.
This isn't the same thing, but its pretty close. One of my guy friends is gay. He only recently (about a year ago) came out to his friends and family and they did not take it well. His parents have basically disowned him. The refuse to contribute money to pay for college, he's not welcomed in their house anymore. A lot of our mutual friends too have kinda turned their backs on him - not completely, but enough so that he doesn't feel comfortable doing stuff with them.
it makes me so angry to think that your parents and your friends will turn your back on you becuase you have some disease or youre gay. like youre suddenly a different person - i just don't understand .
