Not everything is about you. I guess that's something you will learn in time. But then again, you're straight and white, so maybe not!

When did i say someones sexuality offended me?

And there you go again with your 'straight white male'. I was bullied unmercifully throughout my secondary school years, but to you it's like because im straight, and white, and male i've somehow had a free ride in life?!

Were you bullied for being white or male or straight?

I doubt it.

I was bullied for preferring books over sport.

Right. So that has nothing to do with a poster suggesting as a straight white male you've never endured inequality due to your race, sexuality or gender.

No, it's more an argument of 'straight white male had it easy in life' which is false.

nobody, not a single soul, thinks this. Thing is, have you wholeheartedly faced hardship and discrimination for being a straight, white male? we all have issues and struggles, but were talking about sexuality here. Its not taking away from anything you've dealt with in your life, so why take it so personally?
