Homophobia

I don't understand the deal with Homophobia. What do you care if someones gay? It's not like it affects your life any. I may be young, But I have been out since I was 12, and I have had my fair share of homophobia directed at me. A breif list includes:
-Dead Gophers In my locker at school
-Getting beat up
-Death threats
-Getting My backpack slashed up with a knife
-Various Items of food being thrown at me ( happens almost every week)
-Having My stuff being covered in Peanut Butter (I am Deathly Allergic to nuts)
-Teasing and Taunting
-Shot with Bb guns
Of course, the lsit goes on for miles. Granted I try not to let it get to me, It's hard when you know that some people will never even try to get to know you, simply becuase of your sexual orientation. Just Becuase I am gay, is NOT a valid reason to hate me without knowing me.


Moral of the story?
If you don't like gay marriges, Don't get one, and QUIT BITCHING!!!
