    Sometimes I wish I wasn't.
    I don't drag. I don't have a lisp or wear tight pants or hang my hand.
    But somehow, a lot of people who don't understand think every homosexual wants to be that.
    Bus conversation:
    "So, you're gay, right?"
    "Yup."
    "So... do you like, wear girl clothes?"
    "Nope."
    "Do you wish you were born a girl?"
    "...Nope."
    "Would you be the girl or the guy in the relationship?"
    "I'd be the boyfriend of my boyfriend."
    (and, of course, like most homophobic males, he thought I was attracted to him.)
    I was almost offended, but I knew he didn't know any better. It just seems like a lot of people assume that every homosexual is a 'fairy'. I like being a male, and I prefer males who don't act feminine (no offense).
    What do you people think? Was it just one person's opinion or is the mainstream homosexual stereotype?
    ...Maybe it's because I'm in French and choir. ;-;
    (okay, so maybe I WAS attracted to him. but that's rare.)

    That's basically how I am too. Most people think I'm straight. But I think that is sort of the homosexual stereotype, that we're all fairies who are attracted to every guy we see and talk to.

    "Hi, my name's Sean-"
    "OMGWTFBBQ WHY R U HITTANG ON MEEE???!"
    "Listen, I just need to know what our english homework wa--"
    "SEXUALL HARASSMENNTTT!!!"
    ".....I'll go ask someone else."

    Sometimes that happens to me. It's quite sad.

    Aww, thank you Erzebet! (And you too, Amp.)
    At least I don't live in one of those ghetto schools (or unaccepting Catholic Schools) where I might be beat up.
    Besides, I know a lot of seniors (and am good friends with plenty of girls who the straight guys wish-they-could-have).
    I know a lesbian who wants to make a GSA (Gay/Straight Alliance) Club and I'm all for it. I'm gonna try to recruit some friends - I even have poster ideas in mind already.

    Hmmm most people think I'm straight, even though I consider myself a feminine person...I guess they're using a completely different idea of what that actually MEANS than I am, though...

    Anyway! I know a good deal of people who know better than to actually believe those stereotypes, but that doesn't stop them from exploiting them anyways.

    The only way anybody would know I'm gay is if they asked me. People don't "act gay", they act like themselves....hopefully...

    Yeah, being a gay teenager is being in a hard place. I want to act normally, like myself, because that's who I am. But since people are assumed to be straight by default (which is a very sad assumption), it's hard for me to be "on the market" as it were. I think that's why a lot of gay teenagers do conform to the gay stereotypes - so people know that they're gay and then they can get some ass.

    theres less homophobia, buts its the straight default thing that really gets on my nerves, even some people I like on here start threads with things like 'cocks come on girls, why do you like them'
    and I'm like, so its only girls that like them is it?
