hey so this is a vent/rant. The song is Mad At God by Sarah Saint James sung by me. I know its not that best cover I've made but I don't have the energy to go through it a bunch of times and yeah. **TW** This vent/rant will include mentions of homophobia The Vent/Rant: ------------------------------------- How should I start this? I guess I'll start by saying this, I'm so tired of being constantly made fun of. It's not even directed at me but the amount of jokes that I hear that are about being queer are so annoying. How come people can make those jokes and the teachers don't care at all but when they so much as say something that the teacher might think is talking back, they get sent to the office and are punished? Like for example, once on a field trip, this kid was going on a rant about how being gay wasn't okay and how many genders there are . And you know how many teachers were on that bus? At least 3! And you know how many of them did something about it? 0! I'm just so done. Why is being gay considered so bad? What did queer people do? Why can't it just be seen as 'normal'? Every school day, there is some point in the day when i feel awful, purely because of something a kid said. It won't even be directed at me but it still makes me feel awful. And some people aren't even really homophobic they just say the things they say because they think its 'cool' or whatever but they don't understand how much it can hurt someone. They don't understand having to come out to people or losing family and friends just because of who they love or because of their gender. They don't know what it's like to be afraid to say things about who you love or your gender in fear of the reaction of the people around them. They don't know what it's like to know that one of your closest friends or family members will hate you purely because of who you love or your gender. They don't know what it's like to hate yourself so much just for existing. Just for loving people of the same gender as yourself or for not identifying as the gender you were born with. And these things that queer people have to deal with. And they think it's funny to joke about it and make queer people feel unsafe. I'm tired of being a joke to people I'm tired of knowing my closest family and friends will hate me if they knew anything about me. I'm tired of being scared to so much as hold hands with my girlfriend in public. I'm tired of hearing these 'jokes' about being queer. I'm tired of teachers not doing anything for queer students who are being bullied. I'm tired of people thinking that me existing is 'wrong' or 'unnatural' I'm just so tired.
