What I didn't Ask For

Lots of gays are critize and labeled form one end of world and around to the other. One tends to ask one's self why can't I just fit in, as everyone else. One thing that I personally cant understand is why people single out gays. Is it because, we are different or is it because we are the same with different interest? Or is it because we simply dont ask for a lot, but to be apart of a community?
       What gays didn't ask for, was to be look upon as low or disgusting. We didn't ask to be snarled at when taking an occasional walk in the park. We definitly didn't ask for peoples commenting, judgment, knowledge, questioning or even styreotyping. But most heteros of the world seem to do these things. Then I ask, why? After all, we are the same.
