Yep, I'm bi but I prefer girls and tell the guys at school I'm lesbian so they won't ask me out! People make fun of me a lot and stuff.

I'm from Argentina, and here they don't have that tolerance as much as in the USA. I've been embarrased and discriminated a lot of times, but I'm strong, and I'm bi, there's nothing to fight against. I love to be myself, I love this way, and if you don't like it, turn your face around.
In the other hand, there's a lot of homophobia, even in LGTB people, but when you come out and tell people who you love/loves you, they understand and it's worthy. That's the good side.

Aww I hate that this happens to people we are all equal and should be treated as such, I love everyone even if they hate me

There is a guy I know and his dad is a preacher, so he has a lot of biased opinions, so I fight with him a lot about gay rights. He don't understand why I support Gay Rights cause I'm straight, and I'm like it don't matter what you are.. every person on this earth deserves love. Everyone has feelings and shouldn't be categorized based on anything. We are all people, and you may not like certain people, but keep your mouth shut about your opinions cause you don't know who is around and will hear you. SO we fight like every-other day.

What *is* heterosexism??

Heterosexism is either the belief that heterosexuals (straight people) are better than members of the LGBT community OR the false assumption that all people are straight.

I have to deal more with the latter. People always thinking that a girl liking a girl or a guy liking a guy doesn't happen. Or they forget and say stuff that's heterosexist. I know a girl and I aksed her if she'd ever actually thought about her sexuality and she replied something to the effect of, "Well, no, but of course I'm straight." She's not against of gays or anything and she didn't mean it to sound heterosexist, I know. And that's kinda worse, 'cause that means people just think that kinda stuff and don't think anything's wrong with it at all.

Oh, than yeah. Heaps. All the time. The second one. People just forget I guess. But then people make all these jokes and stuff and I get really fired up and theyre like, well calm down it was only a joke.
And also this new thing going around of saying 'gay' at every second word like, oh I have maths homework, thats so gay.

Heterosexism is everywhere. It's just that most people can't see it. Because it's EVERYWHERE. It is everything. how many commercials have you seen with a happily married gay couple eating cereal?
I dream of a world where LGBTIQQP(etc) is as "normal" as straight.

I was seeing a psychologist to get a definitive diagnosis of autism so I could get some disability benefits at college, and the whole process is heavily flawed, obsolete, seems like it was put together by a large group of people, using material either too politically correct or not enough... It's a mess. One of the questions she asked me was if I found it difficult to speak to the opposite sex. I wanted to say that not everyone is attracted to the opposite sex, that some individuals are neither male nor female, that gender identity transcends biological sex, but I just answered the way it was intended to work. It always struck me as startlingly heterosexist from someone whose career was based talking sensitively to people who are different from the main population.

I actually get some hate from both the heterosexual and the homosexual community for being asexual, though gays and bis are generally more accepting of my orientation than straights.

There's this boy in my school, some people say he's gay. During science class, there's this other boy who calls him names that offend homosexual men.

There's a lot of heterosexism in my high school.

I pity the LGBT around me... being discriminated & treated like trash...
T.T

I got disowned by my dads side of my family for being a lesbian :[ And my uncle always complained about gay people in general. I hate it.
So my answer would be more at no one and myself :P

When people say something is gay or someone is a faggot

^Same.

i am heteroooo

Directed at this couple in my fifth hour, and another time when 'cutest couple' was taken out of the yearbook because someone said they wouldn't buy it if a gay couple won. And of course a few other times that I can't remember.

My friends' boyfriend is homophobic and mentioned that he called a gay couple "faggots." Also in a pep assembly, one of the guys out there is bisexual, and the boys behind me constantly commented on it. There's a lot of arrogant speak on this matter, everywhere.

I didn't witness this as such, my friend only told me about it...

My friend's brother got kicked out of home by his mother when he came out as gay.

Fortunately, his parents had split up a long time ago and his father took him in, so he didn't end up homeless.

Later that year, the same friend's sister got kicked out when she got pregnant, so there you go. My friend still lives there - she hasn't managed to get kicked out... yet. Dang.

i call it as I see it, at least noone can accuse me of littering the world with unwanted bastards.

Both directed at nobody, as well as from what my girlfriend tells me xier classmates said when they found out xie was dating me,,,, ,

siiigh, it's always in your face, really wears down on you

All of the yes answers, actually.

I've seen it directed towards me, I've seen it directed at someone else and I've seen it just being spewed out at random. All of these happened on the internet. :/
