Here's my first experience witnessing a far right idiot irl

This was at school during a sex ed lesson. We are given a few questions in class and one of the questions mentions a gay couple. And these 2 little shits start complaining and citing religious bs. This stuff usually doesn't get to me but I'll admit I left that room kinda sad after the lesson.

Homophobia was so widespread in the ambient environment for my entire life, so it's not easy to say. The earliest incident that I specifically remember which fits the textbook definition was during a high-school Physics class, were a teacher known to go on about her personal views on anything all the time once, and one day homophobia was on the menu.

The reason it didn't stink as much as other incidents was that a group of kids that recently found out I was gay immediately started challenging her (with very naive arguments, but their heart was in the right place).

Oh. I have seen shit in physics class too. Basically this one girl went on a rant about this guy and made out the fact that he was gay to be a huge problem. All things considered that girl has done a lot worse. Hell the bitch runs a cp ring. That's a story for another day unless you are interested
