Homophobia

I just watched an amazing gay-themed movie. The movie was obviously gay and set in an all-male high school environment--which was located in a very homophobic town. It was a sort of "Midsummer's Night Dream" by William Shakespeare remake/parody. Since it was an all-male environment, everyone was hostile and abusive towards the "gay" guy in this movie. Which made me realize that I have thankfully never been a victim of homophobia--even though my orientation is quite obvious.

I came out in the end of freshman year in high school to my family and closest friends at the moment--I was approx. 14 years old. I fully came out at school in my Sophomore year. It definitely was easier than I had expected. The thing that I was mostly afraid of was homophobia and harassment but like I said, I was never a direct victim. I decided to make it "easier" on me by saying I was bi, which now it comes to me that most of us always say "we're bi" as a sort of way to get people used to the idea that you like men BUT women as well--but mostly teenage males are gay even if they say they are bi, at least is what I've observed and what has become a fact.

Surprisingly, I was never able to get along with the gays in high school so all I had was girl friends and straight friends--which I've found to be more trustworthy and more laid back about everything.

See, here's the thing. I don't know what kind of gay I really am. In some aspects, I do fit some traits of gay stereotypes but in the other hand I don't. Back when I was younger I used to think about what kind of gay I was, but I stopped until I realize that some of us like to do different things.

I don't know if my point on homosexuality, equal sex rights, and gay marriage will be surprising to some of you because it is to me. I find myself confused at times and holding arguments with and against me on this topics when I'm alone.
