Yesterday at my highschool in front of the entire student body,I was announced Valedictorian of my senoir class.

 Upon recieving my award, a fellow senior of mine yelled out the word "homo". A group of  boys laughed as the others(students) watched in disgust.  

  I  was so pissed, I could have litrally killed one of those pricks for ruining my moment. My friends told me to nod it off and dont worry about it, but it hurt so much.Tears ended up strolling down my eyes because of it.

Why cant some people just accept who you are?

Because some people are stupid. Sorry that must have sucked.

That is horrible. Dont feel bad for being who you are, you can only be hurt if you let people hurt you. Getting that award is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity most people dream about. Dont let rude people ruin your moment. Be proud of who you are and wallow in your individuality.

sorry, most people raised to be stupid

some high schoolers are morons.  I have them too, they use the term 'gay' to insult people.  But life goes on though and Im sure there'll be way less people like that once you get out of high school.

Aww I'm sorry that happened. Congratulations on making valedictiorian though.
People say those kinds of things to make themselves look "cool", because they're assholes, they have nothing better to say, they're ignorant, and other stupid reasons.
Try not to let them get to you, you're better than that. Those types of opinions should mean nothing to you.


-- Posted by Larien at 4:49 pm on Feb. 10, 2006

They can't accept it because they're jerks.

Listen to your friends. If you're Gay, then be proud of it. I think that it's wonderful you got valedectorian (sp sorry) and I'm proud of you, and I don't even know you!

if your gay your gay, its not exactly right... but its ur life, do wut ya want and fuck what other peole think

Because some people are jerks. Some people are so closed-minded about other people and how other people are supposed to be, that they forget the reality of the situation; that we are all human and no human is better than anyone else. White, black, gay, straight, protestant, lutheran, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim...we are all humans and we should learn to tolerate other people. We should learn to at least Coexist Peacefully. If someone can't accept someone else, then they should at least try to respect them and stuff. What that guy to you was rude, cruel, and ignorant. That guy was being a big bigot. You should try to ignore people and their ignorance regarding things like tolerance. I know it hurts anyway, but try to ignore them. I try to everyday.

Yeah I had a customer, I know the couple... Not personally but I know them... Then the woman after them she's like was that a girl? I was like yes... She's like well that was wierd, she had the whole guys look shoes, pants, and all... I'm like... your total is blah blah...

I mean if they are happy, let them be happy... Hell I bet they are more happier then us "normal" couples...

I have nothing against gay couples, but that lady man she was a snob.

This is a perfect example of why getting out of high school is good.  It is filled with idiots that are so immature that they only way that they can get attention is at the expense of someone else.  Whatever you do don't allow them to pull you down to their level.  Hold your head up high and continue to show them just how stupid they are.  You can do this by excelling in life.  

I am amazed that no one had the balls or the human intelligence to call them down on this public spectacle.  They should have been punished by the school.

I am a strong believer that ones sexuality is a private thing especially in the teens. Idiots like those that publically humiliated you with hurtful labels are example why this is important.  

Congratulations on your achievement as Valedictorian.

-- Posted by Allie Ballie at 11:45 am on Feb. 12, 2006

because homosexuality is opposed in most religions


-- Posted by LinkinRen at 12:08 pm on Feb. 12, 2006

It makes them feel special man, dont let it get to you. It's High School, filled with the dumbest, most worthless people you will ever come across in your life. You will be the one laughing when you are living your happy life with a good job and that same guy who yelled "homo" is mopping YOUR floor.

-- Posted by bingybongy at 10:50 pm on Feb. 12, 2006

In school people wud call me names for being clever but then i left and took away 11 A*'s and thought f*ck it im proud to be clever.

The other day i saw the person who used to bully me cleaning toliets!!! while im a trainee midwife..i just thought hahahaha


-- Posted by desklamp1989 at 10:53 pm on Feb. 12, 2006

-- Posted by Frickin Weirdo at 11:21 am on Feb. 13, 2006

No offence or anything but you need to toughen up boy! They could have called you worse things then Homo and laughed at you,they could have attacked you. So you really shouldnt waste too much time thinkin bout them pricks they are immature!


-- Posted by u could miss so much at 2:03 pm on Feb. 13, 2006

I hate it when people make fun of gays.
Its not really all that fair because that cant technically make fun of you for being straight, you know?
And its not really their fault they think like that....

Did you know, that people who use the term 'homo' or gay' are acctually supressing some homosexual feelings of desire themselves? It's a fact that is!

I have that with me, when I came out that I was Bi, people did the exact same thing, But I'm the kind of person who doesn't let people get me down. Just remember, that when people are looking at you, you are center of their worlds!!! You must be important, because they can't leave you alone all of a sudden!!! I think it's funny anyway, I just laugh at them and say 'Well, at least I'll get more action then you will' and the world keeps spinning.

Don;t let jerks like that get to you, be proud of what you are, whether it be gay, bi, les, multicoloured, 4 eyes or a fishing rod stuck up your butt, you are who you are, and don't let anyone take that away from you!

-- Posted by R1kk1 W0 at 2:36 pm on Feb. 13, 2006

Fair enough, but being christian you dont use those terms as insults do you?

OH, wait, i havent put the 'as insults' in my original post... sorry, my bad.
