Dear Teachers,

1. I didn�t start worrying about being gay until I found out about my Mom. Am I worrying for no reason?
- �Am I worrying for no reason� means �Am I right worrying while I don�t have a reason?�, right?

2. Even if you were gay, you wouldn�t be any less of a person.
- �you wouldn�t be any less of a person� means �you would still be a real person�, right?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. Yes. It means, "Am I worrying when there is no reason to worry?" In this case, am I worrying about being gay when I don't have to worry?

2. Yes. It means, "Being gay doesn't reduce you as a person, doesn't make you less of a person than if you were not gay."
