No. Stop it right there. Do not feel sorry for someone based on their sexuality. The same applies to skin color. Pity can be insulting in my opinion.
I honestly feel that those who criticize, judge, bash and otherwise belittle homosexuals are the oppressed party. They have no idea. These people were raised to be the way they are, whereas homosexuals are simply born as they are. It takes a truly ignorant person to truly persecute an individual based on a personal characteristic such as sexuality. The ones who think they are right for attacking innocent people are the ones who we should feel sorry for. Ex-gay therapy is a load of you-know-what, but where is the homophobia therapy? This is an issue. As a society we are so quick to fix what is against the "norm," but as long as the violence and abuse is justified by someone's morals, then it's all okay. Where are we at, world? Youth - we are the movement, the power, the drive and the force that is to be reckoned with. Don't feel bad for your gay neighbor, but do feel bad for your homophobic neighbor.
