Ways to annoy people: Arrive at a meeting late, say you're sorry, but you didn't have time for lunch, and you're going to be nibbling during the meeting. Then eat raw potatoes. Ask people what gender they are,or Disagree strongly with everything anybody says:)

And I go to a Catholic school, where being gay is a sin. And I keep defending being gay, but my teachers always yell at me, and a bunch of the kids are convinced I'm gay because I believe that gay marriage is perfectly fine.

I don't see why a lot of kids now think being gay is so weird and gross.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

I go to a catholic school too! And last week, I just had to do a bunch of questions for confirmation, and on one I had to say why the church doesn't support gay marriage. It made me a little mad

We have to learn about human sexuality in the eyes of the church last year, and there was this whole chapter bashing homosexuality. I got really pissed off. I don't see why it's such a sin.

"That's so stupid" is just as bad as "that's so gay." Neither makes sense.

If I were gay, I would take offense. If I were retarded/slow, I would take offense.

Proper phrases are "that's so lame" or "so unbelieveable" "weird" "wacky" "odd" etc.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I think that teens are now starting to accept homosexuality, and I believe it is because of MTV. i know it might seem strange, but MTV airs homosexual relationships on "Real World" and on music videos such as "I am Beautiful"
Teens are no longer listening to their parents about what's wrong but are looking elsewhere, and if that elsewhere is MTV than I am fine with that.

It's been shown many, many times that the younger the age group, the more likely they are to be accepting of gay people, relationships, and marriage. That's why I have a lot of hope that gay rights issues will move forward in the future.

To tell the truth, I was more unaware than anything else of gay rights issues until college. I did have a lesbian friend in high school and a male friend who, in retrospect, was probably gay. (I have nothing resembling gaydar.) But that kind of stuff wasn't really spoken of by most people.

thats what my mom said, she said when she was my age and in high school and college, she could kind of tell that some of her friends were gay, but it was never ever talked about among anyone.

The really sad message that seems to come out of most of these posts is that calling someone 'gay' is still considered a big insult. Not only is the caller trying to be cruel by hurling out that dirty insult, but the one receiving it is equally hurt. And it still seems that most of those doing the name calling are young people. It's so very, very sad.

Liam, thank you so much for starting this thread. I think it's done a lot of good for a lot of people. One thing everyone knows now - they're welcome and accepted and among friends here.

Damn. I thought I had it bad.

When I was in school I was like Anthony Micheal Hall in 16 Candles... the King of the dip sh!ts.

I don't understand why schools are so tolerant of bullying.

After Colombine everyone was quick to scream about how those kids got the guns and "where were their parents?" Something happened to those kids... probably years earlier that pushed them crazy.

I'm not saying what they did was right, but I think there was more to blame than gun shows and video games.

I ruvv all of you so much!

I don't have one specific story, but it all gets back to in middle school being taunted for dancing. People were so mean, and inconsiderate, so I distanced myself, and just enrolled in more classes.

There's something with dancing that just calms me. It's kinda like what yoga does for some people. I just feel very at peace and in control. So i kept taking more and more classes, so I would spend as little time as possible with people from school, and more time dancing. I'm now a junior in high school, and dance countless hours a week. If i had my way, i'd do even more.

And still there are the problems with people not being accepting. Alot of the time, I think "It's not that they're intolerant, it's that they realize how ive found something that im so in love with, and see me being SO incredibly happy."

Thanks for sharing everyone. All of our stories' echo one another, and I love you all so much!
