Do ya get bullied for being gay/bisexual/lesbian?

[Jinxxed]

If you've 'come out' in school or outside school do you get bullied or taken the mickey out of because of that? What's the worst thing that homophobic people have said/done to you? Just wondering x

[asher_]

i'm out in college. i'd say it's definitely more accepted in college, or in mine anyway, compared to high school. my friends are great with it. as i said in my other thread, you get the odd name call if you walk down the street holding hands with your partner but that's about it.

[Uwe]

erm, when I came out to my friends they spread it around school, I was the gay boy for about a week and then it just stopped :)

[OMGitsaROSS]

I get bullied for being straight. Jokes, my mate (well kinda my mate, we don't talk but we used to ages ago [I moved away so we kinda stopped]) came out, as bi then gay. EVeryone had a micky take but they all chilledo ut and left it

[Moh]

i havent told any 1 at school im bi, except 2 ppl, but i still get called gay :l

[Jinxxed]

Hmm yeah i heard that even though most bisexuals come out as that . .people just call them gay anyways =/

[Papershop]

it depends how camp you are really. Its a bit obvious people are going to try to make u feel like the low-life of the comunity

[:Dazza]

Well I did last year but this year its fine and I love high school life.
I still get it a bit because I am mega camp and I provoke it, bless me.
But I dont like stuff like 'Your sick in the head' that upset me.
Last week I cried coz someone called me something.
I felt emotional anyway otherwise I'd of just laughed at them.

[benjamin]

i don't.

[Ashhizzle]

No i dnt cos am str8

[:Dazza]

No i dnt cos am str8

Fair enough.

[Moh]

I just don't know why ppl have a problem with it.
But iv learnt its not a problem with us, its a problem with them, so now I just accept who I am :)

[Frodo13.]

I got called 'gay boy' n all that stuff for about 2yrs by a bunch of ppl even though Im not gay and had gfs and stuff!

Im a straight guy but i get bullied and called gay. Its nothing serious but when i walk around with my "girlfriends" i get called gay. Im rather camp irl and people assume im gay thus me getting names.

Thats what my life is like :0

[Crimson]

I'm the same.. but its got to the point where i'm sort of turning gay ....
Considering i'm only 13 its probably a "phase" but i don't honestly care atm ;']

[CrazyColaist]

i did but it stopped when they went up to year 9 x] (im in year 8 so ill see them next year hopefully there except it)

[Crono]

I'm openly bisexual to my close friends but some people at my school think I'm just gay. I occasionally get called a *** but I think that's cause I wear girl pants. That might stop when I start wearing boy pants cause girl pants are getting uncomfortable and annoying.

[YoManGo!]

i came out at school
but everyone already presumed i was gay anyway, so it wasnt suprising to find out im bi :)
no. i dont.

[Nether$]

Well, things are very different where i am (London). The trooth is it is more accepting down here, however it depends on the area. The first school i went to when i was in year 7 (now closed by ofstead because it was sooo crap- like most schools in the area) the only guy to come out got stabbed. Believe me or not it doesn't really matter. The thing is you need to be in an environment where people will accept you to be gay. The school im in now is in a nice area, there are loads of gay people there and everything is verr public, for example gay guys/girls show their affection in public (ie. touch and kiss) and no one treats it any different than if it was a guy and girl. Pretty everyone in my year of about 400 knows im gay, even though i havn't told anyone, and tbh i dont "act very gay".

Anyway i think that people are bullied for a number of reasons:

1) They just dont like you, its just an excuse
2) Its just the mentallaty (sp?) of the people in your area.
3) Its just used as an insult and does not mean you are gay, calling someone gay is used in the same way as **** head
4) Loads more i can think of but i cba to write them

I'm streight and admit I used to think gays were wierdos when I was in school but when you move to college you find there is loads of people who are gay and you learn to accecpt, afterall they cannot helpi t and gay people probs think we're wierd :P - Some of the most awsome people are gay in this day n age :P

[StainCast]

It's seen as a massive, new thing when you first come out but like a week after it's back to normal hehe

People just like new things to obsess about.

[womanizer]

no. k

[hadouken!]

If they try I **** them up :)

[Shawnstra]

In my opinion, there is nothing to be bullied about. I respect everyone regardless of their sexuality. I find that being openly gay is better than hiding it.

[FlyingJesus]

I bullied the gay kid in school but that was just because I didn't like him.

[eXcollont]

I Was Punched Once Because I Got Hard Over Another Boy, They Made My Lip Bleed.

[Tristan]

A boy in my school is gay and mega camp and he gets loads immitating his voice and playing with his surname as he's called Lewis Lovelock so... I guess that you get the rest. :rolleyes:

[Vause]
