"Boys, boys, there's nothing wrong with being gay so I don't see why you are using it as an insult."
They stopped, but than Stephanie had to say:
"Yes there is. It's gross!"
And I was like:
"Whaaaat?".
And her educated response was:
"Cause. It just is.".
So I reply:
"Well, believe it or not, some view hetero sex as "gross".".
She appears puzzled and asks:
"You mean a guy and girl?"
I nod my head and look at her as if she's a total moron and say:
"Uh, ya."
So this is when she uses the classic:
"I'm entitled to my own opinion." move.
Which I do agree with, just so long as your opinion is not a hurtful one or setting our society back by like 50 years. And homophobia is not only a hurtful, state of mind. But it goes back many years. We're already into the second year of the millenium. Homosexuality is not that big of a shocker any more. But some people still don't seem to get the point.
So on monday morning, I came to school sporting a collage/poster with various pictures from my favorite show "Queer As Folk". Judging by the name, you can pretty much guess what the show is about. And as a final touch, I added my favorite quote in bright pink letters at the top:
We're here, we're QUEER, get used to it!
And put it up in my locker, which happens to be right beside hers.
Next thing I did to disturb some shit was at grad... hence the picture. My original plan was to just go up to her and kiss her in front of everyone. But I was hesitant because I didn't want her to be my first chick kiss. And as Lauren later informed me, it could be considered sexual harassment. And considering the fact that her dad runs a law firm and everything, I decided at the last minute to just make out with some other chick. Emily happily volunteered.
So yes, I grabbed Em's hand and went looking for Stephanie and we started just going at it in front of her. Too bad we couldn't get a picture of her face as well. But I remember smirking at her right afterwards and the look of disgust on her face. It was hilarious.
Another great moment was later on that week, when the picture was developped and physically in my hands and I was going around showing everyone my proud moment. A guy, who I'm pretty sure she liked was admiring the picture when he shows it to her and asks if she saw this. And she kind of blushes and is obviously a little pissed. She grudgingly replies yes. His response: "Well I think it's SEXY!".
Ahahaha... good times...
