I talked to my best friend about this, and she told me that she was laughing a lot when it happened with her seatmate. I was honestly somehow taken aback because our classmates didn't see how hard it was for him to talk about it and lie through his teeth. They laughed. Why was it so fcking funny for them?
Okay. Honestly, I want to go there and punch everyone. This made me angry. The person was crying and they dared to laugh. It is hard to be a gay (third gender to be exact). Yet that gay who they laughed at, that gay you said is energetic and cheerful is trying his best. I may not know him but I know the hardships of being gay. I'm a pansexual and mostly of my friends are gays/lesbians/bisexuals. While reading your story, I cant help but cry, seriously... I really want to punch them but everyone has a different opinions.
Hypocrites. They must have found it hilarious watching someone on venerable state, forced to lie and humiliated. It was nothing to them but it will be hard for your friend to forget. I just hope he had time to scan the room when it happened and know who his real friends are.
Marriage is a right not a privilege. Others don't get to choose who should be married to who. If religion is against it then they should have a choice to be married by law.
I remember just a month ago, this gay classmate of mine who's just...really funny, really energetic and so friendly. He mostly hangs out with girls, but we all know he likes this classmate of ours (who's a total dork but honestly, handsome) which he had a rivalry (who doesn't they are) but this classmate think he'll never have a chance because...rivalry is a girl, and I don't know the sexualy preference of said crush even if he was really close with everyone.
In English class, we had this daily routine where people are picked, they go in front, get a random paper in this box where a topic is written, then we go discuss about it. He was called. He went in front, picked a paper, and boom. What a topic he had.
"Do you agree on same sex marriage in the Philippines?"
Now, being gay in the Phils. isn't that huge of a topic, but same sex marriage is different because it goes against most of our religion―Christianity.
So, he was shaking a lot when he was given time to think things through. When he did perform, it was all fine and dandy at first.
Not the exact words but, "I think that same sex marriage should not be allowed, because it goes against my religion, and I think..." then he was crying. He continued to speak while crying. Now everyone was laughing except for my seatmate (one of his best friends who was trying to shut our classmates up) and I. I tried to laugh too honestly because he was crying, laughing and talking at the same time and I guess people thought it was okay to laugh too, but actually, I was crying in between laughs. Even if I'm not fully gay (bisexual), it hit me hard too. It was so...sad seeing a happy-go-lucky person actually cry. His crush? I don't remember what he was doing. I think he was laughing but not laughing his head off unlike everyone else. Like a chunkle, I think?
Anyways, I just really wanted to share. Have a happy holidays~
