have i ever mentioned that it hurts to go to school anymore?

I'm tired of it all.
I'm tired of everyone at my school thinking that I'm a lesbian.
It really shouldn't phase me and it is partially my fault, but at the same time it isn't.
Sure, I hang out with boys.
Sure, I would rather wear Leather than Lace.
Sure, I don't dress up.
Sure, I'm not the most attractive.
But do all of those things add up to me being a lesbian?
Absolutely not.
Plus, I find it really offensive to call someone a 'lesbian' or 'their gay friend' or 'gay' in general.
That one thing about them is not their name.
I go off on people about this a lot, as well as people using 'gay' as a derrogatory term.
Last time I checked, heterosexual people and homosexual people are still both people.
if you eliminate the word that has to do with their sexual orientation, what are you left with?
People.
We are all people.
