Paranoid Confusion

PostPosted: Fri Nov 04, 2005 8:06 pm

I hate it so much!! It makes me want to cry...

Alright, my school had it's annual, Activity Faire day, where all the extra curricular activities do their thang and show off. Always it sucks, and always almost no one comes.

Well I'm there for the GSA, almost the whole day. I was the one who made the bord for it, the 3 sided kind. If I can I'll get a good picture of it up. I painted it rainbowish, and then write in big black letters, GSA, and then on the lower part I pain in the boy/boy boy/girl girl/girl picture, the people look like restroom people holding hands, as well, I taped up a few things I had gotten at the DC Youth Pride Day, a poster about name calling, and some other things about the GSA and the LBGT groups. The two teachers that sponser GSA loved it.

About... 6th period, one of the PE groups comes through since the PE groups are the ONLY ones that came through. And I get this one a** HOLE of a kid. He's all in his PE uniform, with a huge hole in the center, comes up and looks at the board, reading the poaster about name calling, on it, it has a very sad person, crying, and all around them are words like, "Dyke, Lesbo, Queer, What a weirdo..." And a few other really hateful words, at the bottom of it it says, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me... right?" And I love that poster to death! But this kid comes up and starts reading the words aloud, almost as if he dosnt know what they mean untill he hears himself saying them.

Then he turns to me and just FLAT OUT asks, "Are you gay?" I just tell him that it's rude to ask people those things, and that it shouldnt matter, then again he asks, "Are you a lesbian?" Then I say, "Again, not nice, it's really rude, you shouldnt ask people those things, thats not what GSA is about." He then asks, something else, I tell him again it's rude, and then he says something about a "******** dyke..." And then mumbles something and takes off running, my board completly falling off the table.

I'm so pissed off now I could have hit him so hard his children would have felt it. But I didnt, and I'm proud of it. I get his name from one of my friends whos in the same PE class, I write it down. Then a friend of his and him come up here and shes full out appologixing for his actions calling hima few names. I just ignore them both. Then they leave and once I see one of our sponsors for the club, one of the PE teachers too, I go to her and tell her what he did and his name. Hopeing that he's get detention or SOMETHING for it.

The last thing I wanted her to do was drag him back here, and make him appologize for something I KNEW her wasnt sorry for. But as long as he appologizes, they dont give him a detention, not even a write up. But, what does she do? She takes him out of his PE class, dragging him back to the table, and EXPLAINS to him what GSA is all about. ALL THE WHILE THIS LITTLE s**t HEAD BOUNCES HIS BASKET BALL ALL AROUND, ACTING LIKE A SNOBBY a** HOLE AND NOT EVEN LISTENING TO HER!! Traci the girl doing the table with me tells him to stop, thank god, and he does. So, when shes dont explaining to him what GSA is about she tells him to appologize, he does and she asks us if we accept. I dont want to draw it out any longer, I said yes, just to get him out of a my sight. -_- She tells him that to find out more about what GSA is about to come to a meeting, she tries to hand him a flyer and he refuses, saying he wont go anyways. So she lets him go back to class, and she returns to teaching hers.

As well, durring that specific class period, at least 4 guys would go running by our table and purposly make our board fall over, only AFTER that little s**t head started it. Also, throughout the whole day, I had people come up ask what GSA stood for, I'd explain it to them and then this look would just cross their faces and then they'd say, "Oh." And leave.

I thought the world was better then this by now. I thought they were a bit more accepting. I guess not. Becuase when we shove it in their faces they just ignore it or make fun of it. It makes me so upset that people just wont accept it. I feel... a rage inside me that I cant controll sometimes, and it's driving me nuts.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I just needed to get it out of my system. I'll be posting it in it's own thread and on my journal in several different websites. Thanks again. heart


That's Aweful..... people need to just figure out that we're here and we're not leaving!!!

I Bet he's struggeling with his own sexuality...........

BTW.... i get asked almost daily if i am gay..... i know how much it sucks......

My grade has about 53 people in it. Yes, sad I know. Ayway, the GSA was created by two freshmen girls and I was the first to join if I do say so myself. Now there are only four members. Myself, the girls, and another freshmen girl who is one of my better friends. I wonder why only girls have joined when I am positive there are a lot of gay males?

*waves arm excitedly* I know!! Okay, sorry, sugar high right now. Actually, I don't know for a fact, not being a gay male, but I can speculate based on a conversation I had with my mother a while ago. I asked her why it wasn't as taboo if you will for a woman to be gay. She said it was just accepted more easily because of the sterotypical personality differences. If guyA were to hit on guyB (let's assume guyB was straight) guyB could say no and that would be it. But I think that more straight guys are afraid that males won't take no for an answer (wow, I sound really weird to myself while writing this) Anyway, guys aren't typically scared of the sterotypical woman or at least, it's assumed if Woman A hits on Woman B and Woman B is straight, Woman A will more easily understand. *sighs* I had this conversation almost a year and a half ago, bear with me.

My own personal thoughts are that, on a school level, it is worse for a guy to be gay than a girl. I mean, girls are 'allowed' by social standards to kiss, hug, all that jazz without actually being gay. But by a guy doing that it 'threatens the masculine image'. (things learned from sociology, a wicked awesome class) I mean, why is it (and this is from a stand up comic but from what I know it seems to be true) a girl can sleep with a girl or mess around and not be a lesbian but if a guy did that he'd likely be labeled gay. It's kind of the double standard of society. I knew these girls in seventh grade (irritating brats they were) that kissed each other after putting lipstick on to show off (*grrr* we never got on well) and that was okay.

But I know a really meterosexual guy (actually he acts pretty sterotypically gay but I'm pretty sure he's not based on his many assurances. Not that I'm judging him on how he acts, he just does certain things that no other guy I have ever met would do. Like, compromising positions, sitting on laps, touching, *shrug* well it's his life. So, I'll just assume he's straight for now.) Anyway, people call him gay all the time because of the way he acts or the way he dresses (preppy kind of style) and the fact that he straightened his hair once. I don't know, it just seems such a double standard. Oookay, going to stop blabbering now and I hope my answer was somewhat helpful??

No GSA at my school. There might be one at the local high school, where I'll be going next year, but I'm not sure... It's kinda depressing, really...

The one in my school is pretty accepted, its jus tthat noone cares enough to go to anything but the movie nights.
Sadly enough i can't go to the meetings anymore. *tear* Why did they move them to tuesdays?!?!?! But alas, it tends to look bad if one of the the two sft (students for a free tibet) presidents skips out on the meeting. *sigh*
