Blog - Amplify your voice

Thursday, March 25, 2010 at 6:05:00 AM EDT

I had an experience the other day at school that I figured I should share.

I was sitting in my homeroom class when a boy I'm not particularly fond of walked to me.  He started talking to me, and I was kind and spoke back to him in a civil tone of voice.  Then he asked the big question everyone wants to know.  "Are you a faggot?"  I told him, "I am homosexual, but don't use the term 'faggot,' I find it offensive."  He continued using faggot in reference to me.

Next he started asking me about homosexual sex.  He asked me to explain how two males can have sex, which someone else did for me, and then asked if it was true that all "faggots" get diseases from sex.  I told him that that was false, homosexuals can have safe sex just as easily as heterosexuals can.  Then he started talking about how much sex I must have had since I'm gay.  I didn't understand, so I asked him what he meant.  "All you queers have sex all the time!" 

When did people start thinking this?  I didn't know that gay people had sex all of the time!  What rock have I been under?  Oh wait, that's right, being homosexual is not synonymous with being promiscuous.

Thanks for sharing this experience. I think that even though he did it in a really crude way, it's good that that guy was asking questions. I hope that he learned something from what you told him.
