Homophobia

Now you would think these days homophobia is not really a problem any more, especially in this generation, where it's almost cool and the in thing to be part of the LGBT community.
Well i have experienced homophobia twice now in the last week, by my mum and by who i used to class as very good friends of mine.
When i told my mum i had a girlfriend, she was disappointed. She says she isnt but i could tell.
"Oh i thought you would bring a nice lad home.". She denies saying that but i remember it clearly. I dont ever want to disappoint my mum but to have known i disappointed her for just being me hurts.
Then there were my friends. I used to travel ages to get to college, and we all lived in different towns by some distance. Since leaving college i have been working alot, and in my spare time i would see family and friends that live near by. I guess they've got a bit pissed off because i can never really find the time or the money to go to see them. I guess they noticed my Facebook relationship had changed, and it showed that i was with a girl. They left a comment on wall saying something like "What, are you gay, straight, confused, cus we sure as hell are". I deleted the post and spoke to them on chat, and just basically said i was bi. They asked how long etc. And i knew the way they were asking the questions they were thinking "OMG she must of fancied me" They were just horrible the way they were saying stuff. Again they would probably deny saying it horribly, but to me it seemed negative and again this hurt my feelings.
Now you might think, homophobia might be a bit over the top. But it doesnt just class attacks, it also includes any kind of negativity towards the person because of their sexuality.
I dont see what people's problems are.
I guess ...
I'm sorry for being me.

But what im also going to say is ...
FUCK YOU BITCHES!!!

Time to be a stereotype and have Tegan & Sara as the video.
