Gay people are forced to live private lives.

We can't hold hands in public without fear of being physically and verbally assaulted, or without fear of being judged.

People tell us we have it "so good".

I wonder how they would feel if they were forced to hide their whole life?
I call it straight privilege. And in my fifth decades as an openly gay man, this remains the same. Only this morning I read about yet another gay couple brutally attacked and now receiving treatment in hospital.

Imagine if you were persecuted just for being who you are?

After going in to have my bloods taken, in a clinic with extremely vulnerable people in situ, a woman who decided to sit right next to me, and another who decided to come in for her appointment after testing positive this morning, I've had it.
This country is rife with monumentally selfish, ignorant cunts, who only have concern for themselves and their idiotic conspiracy theories. I've had it, they can all fuck off as far as I'm now concerned. Done!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
P.s. The nurse taking my bloods said she'd been banned from the clinic for being (word for word); "a monumentally selfish c**t".
