Anywhere I go with my boyfriend, people stare and whisper about us. Just because I don’t dress feminine or have long hair, people assume that we are both male.They say “Oh, did you hear about that gay couple in our school?”  and “Oh, did you hear about the fags?” We hold hands and hug before going to class like any other couple would during school. People say mean things and talk about us so I became more and more insecure to show affection to my boyfriend in public. But then I thought about it. Why should I change the way I want to be? People should stop judging us because we didn’t even do anything wrong. But even if we were both men, why should they care? We’re not doing anything to harm others.

People need to change the way they look at others.
