So I got my first bit of gay hate over the weekend, it truely wasnt that bad. A girl found out and said I was 'fucking creepy'. Not that bad I know, im not throwing a tantrum I swear.
Its so strange because when I first started coming out to people I waited for a negitave reaction, from everybody. I would get so worked up about the thought of people hating me that I would feel sick to my stomach everytime I told someone.
This girl is not really a friend, but we have always been friendly. I had gotten so used to everyone just accepting me right from the begining that when she reacted that way I litterally had to do a double take.
Turns out apparently she thought we were joking, although I havent seen her since. I was talking to one of my closest friends today and she said to me, "Fred, I hate to say this but you are going to get hate, people are going to think your weird and treat you like shit." and it hit me that she was right. I had always thought my coming out story doesnt have to be like others but it turns out that mine is pretty much the same as everyone elses, because the truth is that people are assholes, everywhere.
