pf, that's really great that you did that for your school! Awesome! I wish we had thought of something like that when I was in high school. We only had one openly gay kid at my school. He was Edwardo since kindergarten, and then, our freshman year he came to school as Niki. We became really good friends because I got my ass kicked for him a lot. I was really interested in her because I had always felt strange about my own sexuality. I was always strongly attracted to men, repulsed by women, and was often accused of being gay myself because I think and act like a man. I even went to a school dance wearing a lavender suit and tie (and it was sparkly). Neither me, or my friend, Niki, was allowed entrance to that dance, unless we "wanted to switch clothes", as if her putting on my sparkly lavender suit would have made her less gay, and me more.. um.. not weird. LOL As my friend Amber put it, "She's a fairy man, but she's definitely a man in there.".
I've been in and out of love with gay men all my life, my best friend included, and he was in love with me too. That is immensely frustrating, but I loved him from the moment I saw him. I thought he was straight! My heart broke the minute I found out I could never have him in that way. I know what discrimination feels like first hand, and I'm not even technically a homosexual, or even bi-curious.
Someone in management leaked to the restaurant where we both worked that he was HIV positive. I almost got arrested for punching a man out right in the middle of the service line because he made a vile remark that isn't worth repeating. I was suspended for 3 weeks.
People are dicks, and I am a quietish person in real life, although I'm sure that's hard to believe. LOL But when someone pisses me off with ignorance and bigotry, something ignites in me, and I go off like a bomb.
Any time, pf... any time.
