Yes, we do feel shunned at times. Those who make judgements against us or treat us differently should walk in our shoes for a week. It is not fair when I want to take my partner out for a romantic dinner and have to avert my eyes from those casting a scronful look. It hurts to get stared at. Why do we have our own clubs? Because we run the chance of getting mocked or worse at the "regular" bars. It hurts to know that if my partner is in the hospital dying that I might not be able to see her because I am not "family" even though I have been with her for almost 10 years. Can't even really have kids together without having to go through a stack of legal paperwork. You tell me if that would hurt.
