Hey , I was just watching some youtube videos of ''ABCNEWS what would you do?'' about homosexuality. And it reminded me to ask a question on here I've never really asked a group of gay people because...
When I was growing up in NY, we had our own community of gay people, and we were all badasses So , I didn't know anyone who got ''bullied'' for being gay, i mean, if anything we were the bullies .
Ever since I grew older and found out all the ''suicide'' associated with homophobic bullying, and the kids who cut themselves, etc or get beat up for being gay, which I doubt is because they're gay but probably because they're vulnerable and if they weren't gay they would have been picked on for something else. (because like I said, I'm gay and I've never been picked on for it)
My question is; have any of you bisexual/lesbian girls on here ever experienced harassment/teasing/bullying in highschool for being gay/bisexual IF you were even aware and active back then?
Because I just couldn't imagine that some kids in highschool don't stand up for themselves.
I did hear a story from someone I know now, that at her highschool in New Zealand, there was a girl who kissed another girl at a party, and then when it got around the school everyone started talking shit to her, and she moved schools just to avoid the drama. Apparently they were really mean, like said things like '' Go kill yourself you ugly lesbian, you're disgusting'' or stuff like that. Which doesn't seem bad until someone says it to you with full force. Then it's devastatingly painful.
I used to get VERY angry hearing about this as a gay person myself (I know I've presented myself as bisexual before, sometimes I say I'm a-sexual and sometimes pansexual too, but the simplest way to identify is gay)
And I just can't imagine it like i said... because if someone said something to me about being gay NOW I don't even care, but before, I would smack a bitch up.
Anyone know anything about this subject?
