Does your school accept you??

[erin]

So in my school i know theres alot of ppl who are gay... some who arent but are fine with it and others who just completely discriminate against us. And its not only only students, i no the same goes for the faculty. The people who do have problems dont start anything with anyone physically but you can def tell they have problems and do say hurtful things. Also in the school everyone uses gay as a put down. We have a gsa but theres only like 3 straight ppl in it compared to like 10 gay ppl. We participate in the day of silence and we have a names can really hurt us program that happens once a year for the 10th graders where we all get together and talk about probs throughout the school including gay rights in the school. Is your school like this... are ppl fine with it or do they all have issues

i was overly excepted at my school since i was the only open gay male in school. I had hard times yeah but for the most part I was left alone.

Where I go it's more accepting in high school than in middle school. I mean almost everyone i didn't know in my grade hated me because they heard the rumor of me being "gay". I hated it. After two years of that I made it to the highschool and realized it was actually okay to be gay =)

Only my classmates and teacher know it. But they all except me:) Sometimes a little joke, but that's okay^^

My school has a GSA, there are more straight people in there than lesbian/gay/bi people. There are about 3 openly gay males at my school, 4 or 5 out Lesbians and like 10 Bisexuals, we even have a Transgendered student. The school is very supportive and I have never gotten talked to about "Flaunting my sexuality" by any school staff, like I had in my middle school. The kids are more divided, I would say the majority are accepting and stuff. The other ones aren't mean, well most of them. I do get shouts of "DYKE!" and "YES ON PROP 8" it just shows you some people are simple minded.

All mi friends and i slowly began coming out in middle school.
And no not experimenting.
I've got quit a few friends who are bi/gay/lez.
At first everyone was kinda wierded out, but they've slowly gotten used to it.
I mean I'm a high school freshman and I rarely ever hear someone say a rude gay comment.
It's prettuah kool.
And I have quit a few straight friends too and their not freaked out or anything and it's realli nice.

My school is pretty bad anymore. It used to be better. We don't have GSA, and "gay" is used all the time. Even our teachers say things are "gay." But there are a few of us who are trying to get GSA astablished in our school. So far we have failed. But we will keep trying!
