Being bullied because your Gay
I've being (verbally, never physically) bullied because of people thinking I'm gay (I haven't come out to anyone) for like 3 years now and sometimes it really gets to you. Theres not one day when at least one person isn't taking the mick out of you. I think I may be becoming depressed because of it coz I sometimes feel afraid of going out the house incase people take the mick out of me. But there is some light at the end of the tunnel! People are being alot nicer to me now and don't only look at me like dirt. People (mainly the girls) are talking to me liek I'm a normal person so if your being bullied like I was I just wanna say that one day things will be better. The main point of this was to see if any of you peoples were/are bullied at school because of your sexuality?
i got bullied for about a month in year 9 (aeons ago now lol) cos ppl thought i was gay. i just told them to fuck off or id knock 'em out. well im northern and was at a rough school...go figure. but school is harsh, i wouldnt have dreamed of coming out, college/uni is so much better a lot more open minded and mature frame of mind.
re:
i was like that at my school. for four years i was teased, taunted, everything, just cos they thought i was gay (which they were right, of course).
eventually id had enough and one day when someone called me it, i just replied back to them, "yeah i am, you got a problem with that?"
after that it calmed down, still with a few of them taking the piss, but a lot of them actually accepted it.
if youre feeling brave enough, go for it and confront them with the truth. maybe even try taking the piss out of them by saying you fancy them or whatever. im sure theyd get a few laughs at.
but what im saying is dont skulk away in a corner because of it. i done that, and it only made them continue more and more. speak to a teacher, tell them how you're feeling, that you're being verbally abused. they can have a word with your guidance teacher who can keep an eye out for you.

Re: re:
I'm in my 1st year of sixth form at the mo, i came out at the start of the year in september, ive only told my mates but i think other peopel have figured it out. I got bullied about it a little bit before i came out, since i came out i've not really had any trouble and people just talk to me like they'd talk to anyone else.
Re: re:
Its not a good feeling I know. Just tell yourself everytime you are being taunted that these immature little twats will get a shock someday when they're at the workplace or wherever and verbally attack someone and they will get the sack because they wont have learned that that kind of stuff is unnacceptable!
So until then, tell yourself that while you're busy being a millionaire and they're scrubbing floors in a dingy mc donalds toilet, that they are worth NOTHING
Also, in the future, while they are scrubbing the mc donalds toilet, you and your boyfriend can walk in and start kissing right in front of them. Pull away and say: Hey I remember you from School........you always said I was gay. Well guess what? You were right! Then continue kissing your boyfriend!
for three and half years at school i was bullied because everyone thought i was gay, then i came out and nobody believed me and thought i was attention seeking.
Re: your post
I never got bullied at school or at uni for my sexuality thankfully but rumours about me being gay did build up during my time at uni. I did get some bullying at school for being English though as I did all my education in Scotland.
In my experience, such bullying usually occurs because there is something about you that isn't in the norm in the location that you are in. That can relate to the way you speak, the way you dress, your sexuality etc.
I am glad that things are improving for you now and that you have people to support you.
true

Omg the same thing hapened to me, on a smaller level. I have been called "gay boy" since primary school. In yr 9, i came out bcoz i was sick of lying to cover it up. I got really quite badly (verbally) bullied by about 80% of the school, and the other 20% told me i was makin it up for attention. I swear to god, i prefer being bullied that people saying i am lying, that infuriates me more than can be explained in this mere reply!
