Coming from a person that is having questions of her own sexuality, I was really happy making this post and editing it as well.
I also experienced how people can be so close minded when it comes to sexuality, my friend (let's call him Andrew) has experienced this as well.
In 7th Grade, he was bullied for being who he is; a talented homosexual student. This was his story. Everything about him was teased, his face, his skin and even the way he acts. Not a single day goes by when one of the boys verbally abused him.
Until he couldn't take it anymore and told our teacher, (let's call her Trixie) Ms. Trixie was a good teacher to her students, but unfortunately her students are lacking in what you call "kindness".
Now that Andrew told the Ms. Trixie, she made a way for the teasing to stop. But it wasn't enough. It never is for someone who was bullied for his gender.
We comforted him, all of us but he couldn't stop crying. Everyone of us suddenly knew that he was always bullied even in his childhood, his father didn't accept him for who he is and was always looked down upon by other kids.
But it didn't stop him. It made him stronger.
Half of the school loved him, because he was himself and though not everybody seemed to understand his choice to continue his journey, they looked up to him the most.
He joined every volleyball tournament in our school and won hundreds of thropies and medals. Even gained popularity as an addition.
Andrew is a living proof that even the weakest of the weak can rise up to be the strongest person you know.
If you are ever looked down upon just because of your sexuality, prove them wrong.
Prove them that you can be Andrew, that you can't be excluded just because of a gender identity. If you are Le***an, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and a Q***r or have no specific type at all.
You too can raise your flag.
Happy Pride Month, Everyone ☺️
