People suck.
Until today, I thought SLP was a relatively tolerant high school. I have lots of GLBT friends/acquaintances and they all seem conformable being out.
But I need to express my dissatisfaction with the world today. I was passing out a survey for the gay/straight alliance (see the 'straight' in that name? that's me), and people decided it was acceptable to heckle me.
I'm not sure how it happened, but at some point, the proper response to "would you like to fill out a survey?" moved from "yes" or "no thanks" to "faggot! faggot!" Extra points if you throw food or make sexual gestures. One table wasted at least ten minutes setting up a simulated sex scene for me to see when I walked back around to pick up the surveys. They even had props.
I know they were just trying to bother me, and I would have confronted them if there had been anyone else from the GSA in the lunchroom with me. The nice part was, even though they wouldn't take the survey, I pretty much figured out their position.
The whole experience made me appreciate just how much our school needs a GSA. If a straight girl passing out surveys about tolerance can get that kind of crap, what's going to happen if someone comes out to them?
