My school bulling

I got the most bulling about my sexual ori in school. I complained to staff, and nothing was done in my defense. Maybe I didn't complain enough or to the right people, when I think about it. I was afraid of drawing attention to myself, because my school records were so bad as far as grades and attendance. I don't see that as an excuse for being ignoredwhen I did complain and report things, however. AND I was reporting them to the person in charge on security, but was secure? No.

I was bullied, and treated like a second class human being. It was like I had some kind of disease. People talked about me, stole my things, and either left when I came in or ran me away. A lot of verbal harassment and rumors. I was threatened, but I kept sharp objects handy and fastly wipe them out when approached.

I said all that to say my WORSE experience came from public school in the south. I noticed the homophobic activity when I was young, but didn't know what it was.

Long story short: My music class was singing Yankee Doodle Dandy. The teacher stopped the singing due to some students sounding different than others. When she inquired on the problem most of the female student were changing the gender lyrics on the "sweetheart" part. They even give a hard time about saying the words, and they wanted back and forth for 5 mins or so. The boys and a few girls were like "We can't just get other with, huh? Ya'll have to raise hell over some stupid shit?"

Everyone that didn't give the teacher a hard time about got an A. Some of the people that did, but sang anyway when the teacher said they weren't going to change it got a varying grade. Those that refuse to sing the line all together got an F.

Gay union, yes.

There is no law saying 2 private parties can't join assets based on gender, is there?




I know there's no law saying any type(s) of people can't have a celebration, inculding a union celebration.



I do know that there are laws saying you can't call it "marriage" when people of the same gender do it.



This is basically a war over the word, which is a waste of time and energy.



Call it something else. Change the meaning of a different term, or make up your own word.



I agree, "Domestic Partenship" sounds boring, unloving, and dry. "Marriage" is just one word with 2 sls. "Domestic Partenship" is 2 words with 3 sls each, making 6. PAIN IN THE ASS. Make up a one, one or 2 sl word of your own.



I think "marriage" should stay a ref to christians, to keep the enffeis(?) on how fucked up it is when they get a divorce. Religions have their own terms for their forms of union, so what makes the word "marriage" so special, in the first place?



I don't want to be "married" because I'm not a christian, anyway.

You gotta FIGHT for your RIGHT! - homo

Like i said ,i support gay rights and marriage.

However, the fight seems weak.

Firstly ,the symbols that "represent" gays prides.

An upside down pink triangle ,and a rainbow flag... NO! HELL FUCKING NO! What kinds of symbols of showing power and authority are THOSE!? Rethink that.

Be more aggressive ,and even brutish just like the gay bashers.
People are willing to kill you just for being gay so you need to act like you are willing to kill them, too.

People die for love all the time ,but you don't get credit for it if you don't let it be known why you did it. If you're gonna kill yourself because you're gay tell the new channels first, or something to make your cause noticed.

For a more aggressive view i suggest being more like this:

I'm black. People about to debate ,fight ,kill ,and die for me to have the civil rights i have today.

Take note that alot of the old arguments on why I shouldn't have rights ,or marry other races are being used again now. It was also a slow progression, so gay right may not be accepted in our life time ,but do it for the kids!

And THAT'S what i have to say on THAT!

Good luck to ya! ... or maybe "us" ,after all.
I prefer my same gender ,myself.
