I see a lot of people making fun out of sexuality every day. They use the word ‘gay’ & shout it at boys who seem a little female. They shout ‘you’re lesbian or what?’ at girls who never had a boyfriend. To me, joking about who you love is the most disrespectful thing ever. And I think we should stop calling people things they’re not. I’m not lesbian, I know that. I already fell in love with boys. But who knows if I will be bisexual one day? Who knows if I could also fall in love with girls? Nobody knows that. I’ve always wanted a gay best friend. Always. Gay people are so nice, and they’re just fabulous. I love gay people, they’re sweet. When I told some guys from my class that I want a gay best friend they were like “EWWWWWWWWWWWW!”. I told them to shut the fuck up. I told them that they don’t even know if they’re going to be gay. I said that if they’re gay one day, they wouldn’t want others to make jokes about them too. One of the boys was quiet. All the fucking time. I looked at him, and because I got so mad I didn’t realize why he was so quiet, and I asked him what he’d do if the other three guys next to him would be gay. He said something I never expected. He said he’d be with them. Not because he’s in love with them, but because there would finally be a place he wouldn’t get judged if he announced that he was gay. I couldn’t believe what I just heared. I was wondering if he was serious. But he was. I was so proud of him that I hugged him, and I wispered into his ears that no matter what, I’m there. I will always fight for him. He had the balls to stand up for his sexuality in front of the whole class. I will never forget this moment. I’m still proud when I think back to that day. From now on, everytime somebody shouts a mean thing at him, I tell them to shut up because they wouldn’t be strong enough to stand up for what they are. They just walk, talk and judge. When I had a chrush on a guy and he saw me with Frederik, he shoutet “UH YOU’RE GAY GET OUT OF MY EYES”. I got so mad that I walked to him, stood there and told him “You don’t have to take others down just to be on top. If you’d be strong enough to be popular without judging people who are not that popular, I would probably would have told you that I fell in love with you. But I was so wrong, you’re not worth a single tear. Because no, you don’t have to make my best friend sad to be cool. You would’ve been cool if you were nice to him. Because THAT’S cool.” And I walked away. I never talked to him again. But one good thing has all that. I found my best friend. And he’s worth more than any other man in my life. Frederik is a man. He’s more of a man than all those other guys at my school, because he stands up for who he is, and who he loves.
