Don't Bully

Bullying is wrong even if it's for a good cause.

    People always talk about gay marriage, and how people should be able to love who they want and the bigots should stop bullying them, but what about me?
    One day, I got a new T-shirt and wore it to school. It said on the front "If Jesus had a refrigerator your picture would be on it" I thought it was funny, and cute. Sadly, no one else did. On the bottom right hand corner of the back of the shirt it had the companies that supported the shirt, one of them being a company that's purpose was to end gay marriage. I didn't know that, I didn't even know what that meant. I was in grade school. Everyone just suspected that because I had the shirt on and because I was Catholic I was against gay marriage. That day, my friends yelled at me, my teacher yelled at me, and no one would play with me on the playground. I never wore the shirt again.
    Now I am much older. In health class we have a unit on gay marriage. I never said anything, but a girl behind me kept poking me and asking me if I was okay with what was being said, and if I was going to go home and pray because of what we had learned. People don't understand, the sad truth is I'm too dumb to stand up for myself, I never know what to say. I just sat there. The teacher never helped either, she thought I was against it too. I never said that.
    I never said I was against gay marriage, maybe I am, maybe I'm not, but it's not okay to assume that based on my religion. People always talk about gay people being bullied for being gay, maybe so but always remember there's cruelty on either side of every war. What happens to me is not okay, just as it's not okay to bully homosexuals. I think everyone should just take a chill pill, bullying is not okay, even if it's for a good cause.

Goat, am sorry, you have to experience this crime, against you. As someone, who has endured, too many years of schoolyard bullying, because I am trans, you have my support. Am grateful, you feel comfortable to share this part of your life, with us. Bullying is, a power crime, no matter, who commits it.

I like that, "cruelty on either side of every war" because, I think thats true.
And bullying is never okay, whether its "supporting" a cause or what not, because thats a retarded way to go about it.

Yes sadly it happens a lot...except never by homosexuals! Always by others who are supposedly helping them. Haha, thank you for your review!
