How do you act gay in class? Can you explain that one?

Being gay wasnt a big thing in my school. If you were gay. You were gay. If you were straight. You were straight. There wasnt such a massive hoo haa about it. Its not needed.

No one should have to act unless your lesson is drama, c'mon now.

But they get bullied. We learnt today that 98% of gay students get put down for being gay, that they get bullied. We all know the gay people exsist, just not everyone excepts it. Thats what LGBT month is all about. To teach people to except it

Would Straight people get bullied at school for being straight?

Didn't think so.

Because its the norm.

They CLEARLY would in Loukas's school!!

"Oh your straight! Wow you dont fit in here!"

well why not just educate students about sexuality in R.E or in PSHE I don`t know if anyone else had that in school but it stood for like physical social and health education I think and we had it once a week.

How are you going to celebrate anyway? Is everyone going to go round the school like a parade.. like gaypride or sumin? Everyone has to wear rainbow colours for the day? And Loukas,"I don't want to have to act straighty" - don't understand that.

Its uneccessary, there is no need for it. Maybe outside of school, but this, just brings negative attention. Its not gonna decrese anything. It will probably exacerbate any type of negativity towards homosexuality.

And when did they mention that? Most people in that school are probably straight anyway? It's not as if the teachers are saying 'if you're not gay/bi, then go away' they just need to teach kids to accept it .

Simple.I don't act like all the other boys that want to talk about football and stuff that the boys want to talk about. I don't want to talk about that stuff and i get put down for it being called gay, ******, battyman, Gaylord, King of the gays ect. Acting like a girl would be counted as 'GAY'

Im not a homophobe at all,but,if someone asked me to celebrate being gay whilst in school I would have told them where to go.

100% agree, the "homophobes" are going to be worse due to it being brought to attention.

Agree with Laura on this one

Like this

He wants to act himself, not how the sterotype is off straight people and how they have to be at our age.

1. Your not gay if you don't want to talk about football.
2. And again, acting like a girl isn't gay. There is such thing as a "straight-acting gay" Xanthi on Shipwrecked for example, hes gay yet you would never know if he didn't tell you.

Why? :laugh3:

LOL @ Andy :dance2:

:laugh:

Whats gonna come of it anyway? I don't see the point.

pmsl

I shouldn`t but I seriously lol`d at the thought of me and my school year doing that

LOL. no. No parades and rainbow flags EVERYWHERE, students learn about gay history and stuff. We have an assembly and talk about the gay generation. I ment 'I don't want to have to act straight' Because thats how i feel, that i have to act straight to fit in, and if i don't then i get bullied.

Then clearly times have gone back because its a massive thing now.

Yeh but the subject of gay people is going to be brought up which puts more attention on to you and the other gays meaning that perhaps they get bullied more or whatever?
