People give you weird looks, mostly people you'll never see again. So, why care? for the same reason that, even when going out alone, you dress nicely and wear make up It'll sound odd, but I honestly don't dress up for other people. It makes me feel good. I could care less about people I'll never see again. And that sounds like bullshit The Oath Posted at 4:33 am on Nov. 7, 2008 i mean that whole "oh lol simply stop caring what strangers think of you" attitude is really cute and everything, but it's simply not realistic The Oath Posted at 4:31 am on Nov. 7, 2008 Quote: from Lulamae at 7:23 am on Nov. 7, 2008 Well, obviously I'm aware of that, but what's the worst thing that can happen when you're walking through town holding your girlfriends hand?

Stone you? Well gee kid, I don't know how to tell you this, but I'll just say it anyways. Many people don't like homosexuals, or look down upon them. This wouldn't be bad in itself, if it weren't for the fact that not being accepted or liked by others was considered a bad thing.
