Isn't it amazing how our peers can make us act a certain way without us even realizing it? Take the other day for example. Note that I am closeted but not in denial. I do not "act straight." I act as "gay" as I can without having to tell people I'm gay.
Anyway, at lunch, I was talking about something that appeared in a school newspaper where everyone used their initials to create a pen name for themselves. The writers of this newspaper were top secret, and one had the same initials as me. Someone who read the paper asked me at lunch, "Hey is this *pointing to article* you?" I replied annoyedly, since I'd been asked tons of times already, "No, it's not! And even if it was me, I wouldn't choose such a gay name." As soon as I said, it I just sat there in shock. Did I just say gay in a negative fashion without even thinking about it? I felt really guilty afterward.
Therefore, we need to stop people from using "gay" as a synonym for "stupid." I even know GLBs who say "gay" in a bad way! I really hate it...
