“Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.”
— James Baldwin

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone’s life and experiences are unique. If someone falls in love with another person, that's their personal experience and choice. Some people might judge or criticize it harshly because they have their own biases or misconceptions. This negative reaction reflects their narrow thinking, not any problem with the person in love. For example, in history, many people faced unfair judgment just because they chose to love who they loved. If you stand by your choices and feelings, you're staying true to yourself, and the opinions of others don’t define you. It's important to remember that judgment from others often reveals their fears and prejudices rather than the truth about your life.
