After that first day, different people have taunted me and made fun of my sexual orientation almost daily . Soon after, that turned into regular physical threats with fists and knives. N one of this happened before I came out. B ut wait a minute. This is New York.
Gays are everywhere .
The modern gay liberation movement was born twenty miles away thirty years ago. This school prides itself as a place for academic excellence , and as one of the more liberal high schools in the city. I know I'm not one of the stereotypical flamboyant, leather loving people with rainbow feathers at the gay pride parades, nor am I a really feminine acting guy that many associate with homosexuality and come to dislike because of them stepping away from gender roles. T here is nothing wrong with them being themselves. N evertheless, Bronx Science, as well as any other school, should be a tolerant place for everyone.
