I am an openly gay man. This guy from school decided to put himself up against my back as I was standing on the bus. I assumed that he did so because the bus was overcrowded. I then felt him thrust his erection onto my lower back area, near my bottom. I turned around and he smiled at me. I pushed him away and got off the next stop.

Hi, I’m almost 16 and some time ago I came out to my good friend. After I told her I’m pretty sure that it’s not about “The Right Guy” he said that she loves me no matter what but she doesn’t agree with this. So I asked if she had any questions about me, but if I’m being honest I just wished that she would ask about anything, I just wantet to talk about it with someone, but she said that she has some gay friends so she doesn’t need any more information. Well you could say that her reaction was great,duh she said she loves me no matter what! But she also said that it would make her uncomftable if I would start talking about some girl that I like. I bet that every one who was oraz is going through any kind of comming out knows that this is reaction worse than saying she wouldnt want to know me anymore bc she’s still your friend but friends are supposed to talk at lest about most important things!So I told her this, but she her reaction was that we can still be good friends even tho we don’t talk about this one thing. And it would be ok if she wouldn’t talk about some guys that she likes, and I know that I can’t even talk to her about my girlfriend bc I just know it will be VERY akward. Idk I fell like I’m stuck bc I don’t want to bring IT up again. I feel like this all situation is unfair and yes I’m very confused about my sexuality but i’m sure about my feelings to my grilfriend and it makes me sick that I can’t talk about this to anyone. I hope you’re life is great and I wish you best ❤

I’am a french graphic student and i can’t count down how many times my class mates called me gay just because i used pink or flower in my creations. I’ve always been attracted by women but all of those attack (they were telling me that like it was a shame) made me questioning it. Was I really gay ? I started to think that i didn’t wanted to accept it just because i was close-minded, i was so obsess with it that i didn’t get the fact that sexual orientation and taste matter don’t have to be linked. It get me time to pass through this

I am 13 and I am being bullied almost everyday at school and called a f*ggot. Just because I am not “manly” enough. Even the girls are making fun of me. Yesterday at school a guy pushed me on the floor and yelled f*ggot and everyone laughed at me. I feel scared to tell my parents because I know that they will be ashamed of me as usual. I’ll always be that f*ggot in their eyes.

Okay, I’m 24 years old, and I’m gay. I come from Cambodia, where being gay is considered to be the frightful thing most people are aware of. When I was in high school, most of my classmates called me names and worse labelled me as “a-boy-who-likes-dicks.” As I wasn’t really into fights, I kept ignoring their aggressive actions. It was getting worse and worse with each passing day that it resorted to be physical violence. To illustrate, they started to corner me, beat me to the ground and throw jokes on me. I remember tears streaming down my face when I was walking alone to home with bruises and bandages. I lied to my parents that a car hit me, for I knew that they were really, really anti-gay. I hated this society, and I still do. Why does sexism have to be more important than a human’s life?
