So anyway

[WishIWasAHippie]

I'm bisexual...and about a year and a half ago I got chased down by a van with 3 kids in it who beat the piss out of me until my friend Robbie showed up...

Anyway, I'm over it now and today I even approached one of the guys and asked him why he did it...and he completely had forgotten, he apologized to me and all this other stuff, it was pretty interesting...we ended up talking for a few hours and turns out he's good friends with a lot of my friends now and is actually part of his schools GSA (Gay Straight Alliance)...pretty interesting shit...

Anyone else ever get beat up? And di anyone else every re-approach those people?

It doesn't surprise me that one guy who had beat you up turned out later to be gay-friendly. A lot of gay bashers are closet cases who are desperately in denial, and quite a few of them do eventually come to terms with it...

when i was on a amusement park field trip in the 8th grade when a group of kids threw rocks at my friends and i while screaming "fags" and such...i never confronted them later because they were from some other school far away from us...we didn't know them.
that incident was the beginning of my intense fear of my homosexuality and caused a lot of lying and questioning in the years to come.

I've never been beat up, but I've been insulted. Of course, the people who insulted me didn't even know what my sexual orientation is...

I've never been teased about it, except by the boy who I babysit for (he found a photo that I had of me and my crush kissing)... but he always has one reason or another to make fun of me (ex. I'm vegitarian, I'm not Christian, I wear guys clothing, etc.) so I don't pay ant attention to him.
When I first became open about my sexuality and started clinging to my crush all the time(she stumbled out of the closet right after me), some of the girls in my class would be slightly immature about it, snickering behind my back... eventually everyone became cool with it though. I've never been teased about it at school, in fact when I came out of the closet, a few ohers stumbled out behind me too.
