Homophobia in schools




Our schools today are filled with homophobia, real or fake. You may be asking yourselves, "Fake homophobia?" You may think that it doesn't exist but it does, today in schools children will call each other gay or f** just to look cool in front of their friends. They stereotypes people who dress differently or talk or walk differentely, because they think it is cool. I fully accept gay rights, it's a great thing, and probably a lot of teens do but they become hypocritical and start making fun of each other as gay. Being cool isn't as important as powerful issues.

  1. You are very right that today some people will throw out the terms "gay" or "f--" as in insult. It somehow equates homosexuality with being less smart, attractive, or socially adept. Basically, anything you want to call "dumb" you now call "gay." So dumb = gay. It's important to get people to think about how they are using certain words.
