this whole "Wearing purple" thing...

I'm not saying that bullying isn't wrong, and its certainly wrong to discriminate against LGBT people, however, bullying is a part of youth and human nature that no school system (and there have been many different kinds of attempts) has ever managed to eradicate. Generally it doesn't make a lot of sense anyway to choose to openly embrace an alternative lifestyle in the most judgemental and hurtful place society has yet invented (commonly referred to as High School).
This didn't seem to be a big issue with anyone until that kid at rutgers killed himself, which I still don't understand because even if he wasn't openly gay, people were gonna figure it out eventually, and it seems like he had a lot going for him because I don't know that many hetero people who managed to find a hookup in like, the first WEEK of college.. It'd be one thing if he was straight and they drugged him and let a dude have sex with him and put it on the internet, but this was his chosen lifestyle... does it suck, yeah, should you kill yourself? No.
Its a pretty groovy time to be gay, I expect gay marriage to happen in 3-5 years, which is good because thats about the same time I expect straight marriage to end anyway. Gays will be able to openly serve in the United States Military in a few years, which is good because I live near a huge air force base and the main Army Intelligence(*insert obvious joke*) base, and there are a fucking lot of gay people serving in the closet at both. Some of the biggest hit TV shows in America are "Dancing with the stars" and "American Idol", and the whole metrosexual movement is straight guys acting gay to get chicks... yeah, its a groovy time to be gay.
However, being in peoples face with gayness is probably a bad fucking idea, I don't participate in the "Straight Pride Parade" where I dress up as a jock and chase scantily clad cheerleaders down main-street (however any scantily clad cheerleaders who are interested in being chased may PM me for my home address and a bus ticket...), and I think that a parade where a man dresses up in a leather gimp mask and assless chaps, running down the street getting paddled by a man in a dress with a 3 day beard is probably not a parade worth having... at least not every year, shit like that is funny in moderation. Americans are uptight about HETEROsexuality, HOMOsexuality isn't going to be mainstream in this country until at LEAST we get a few decent nude beaches and a legal red light district in a major city. You need to accept that, and be like everyone else, keep the whips, chains, leather, ass paddle and ball gag chained to the bedposts in the dungeon under the stairs which doesn't appear in the blueprints of your house.... At least, I think everyone else does that, I know I do.
I guess I pretty much just have to say, in the words of Chopper Read; "people need to Harden the Fuck up". I think that as hazing in its various social settings and forms has been banned, people have become more sensitive to comments and actions which might otherwise be irritating, but possible to deal with. If you love cock, love cock. But don't be a pussy about it! People are going to give you shit for loving cock, its because they have insecurities about their own sexuality, especially in America. Hell, people are gonna give you shit about the toppings you order on a hamburger, people are idiots, especially in America. If you don't have a problem with what you do, don't kill yourself because others have a problem with who you do, and if they try to fuck you up, take some classes, hit the gym, or just buy an ASP collapsible steel baton. I don't know about you guys, but _I_ wanna read the news article about some super-gay girly-boi getting shit from like six complete wankers, one takes a swing at him, and the next thing anyone knows he's beaten the living CRAP out of all of them and is standing there bitching about breaking a nail.... I'd FRAME that fucking picture...
