How Homophobic is your School?

[tomas]

Out of 10 how Homophobic is your school? If 10 is social suicide if you even display slight homosexual actions and 0 if, anything goes.
I would love to rate my school a 0 )as I am bisexual) but I have to say a 6. I live in Australia. A few openly gay people but it is frowned upon generally :( .
So rate your school and which country you live in please :D

[HAWAiiAN 808]

i would have to say 1 or 2, and i live in USA. A lot of us athletes like to play around and act more "playful" then most other guys in our school. The majority of us are straight, but aint nothing wrong with acting gay or even being gay for that matter. Being gay is just a status, nothing more or nothing less. I think of it like if you are gay and you're happy about yourself, go ahead and be proud. Why live your life being afraid to show who you really are. Our schools in hawaii i think are a lot more open to homosexuality than schools in the other 49 states just because we have such diverse groups of people that anyone can be of any status and it wont be anything new to us.

[DoctorNewbie]

I'd say 8.
It's pretty bad, I'm in the U.S.

[Rawrgasm]

10, australians have a different view on it..

even though were one of the gay capitals ( Sydney )

[The_Narwhal]

Id say about 4. While a few people at our school are openly L/G/B, a few people at my school are quite homophobic.

[mbishop94479]

Do you mean the students or the teachers?

[UnknownError]

Six maybe. In Scotland its quite fucked up. If they think you're gay then you're fucked. But if you come out as gay they'll be like "lolkay" and thats about it. o_O

[Toro Y Moi]

8 or 9, its pretty bad

[Asd20]

9 the school itself is "gay exceptive" but the kids are brutal

[Chris95]

Hmm... I would think in the realm of 5. We have a lot of mormons who seem very un-accepting about it, yet there's also the Gay Straight Alliance club, even though I'm not even sure what they do there.

[Angel Androgynous]

Ehh... 5. There are homophobes, supporters, and those who don't give a crap. *Waves rainbow flag*

[kem1]

10+ I'm in ja

[Sebastian Michaelis]

7.5 unless you are a girl then 0 those double standard bastards

[BOSSPENGUIN]

10 im homophobic ik its true but i am nice to the people i know are gay because there the outcasts i remember i got 1 of em into the cool crowd and tried to hit on me i ran as fast as i could

[TayTay]

10. We don't have any gay people in our school or community. It's not really approved of to act gay at all. I like it this way though. It's not homophobic, though.

[Jupiter]

10... thats indiana for you... im not gay or bi but im accepting.

[Patchy]

Moved to teen sexuality

[SinisterMystery]

My school is quite homophobic. I don't like it. I feel like I can't be me.

[ugaboy]

I think mine is about an 8. Pretty bad - but so is the life in Georgia.

[Sage]

10. We don't have any gay people in our school or community. It's not really approved of to act gay at all. I like it this way though. It's not homophobic, though.

How is that not homophobic?

When I was in highschool, there were never any big official events or activism in support of gay rights and equality, but there were quite a number of LGBT students and they, for the most part, were well liked and popular. So, maybe... 1 or 2?

[Koffing]

Id say about 4. While a few people at our school are openly L/G/B, a few people at my school are quite homophobic.

Same at my place.

[Jimmy Page]

Maybe a 4 or 5,teachers are really nice and accepting(most of them is from the city),but alot of the students have some extremely stereotypical,homophobic and xenophobic views(brainwashed by the local priest)

[User Deleted]

1, nobody is mean, every one is accepting, its pretty much a miracle school except for a shy person or someone who hasn't matured since elementary here and there.

[Amaryllis]

8 or so. The girls don't have a probably with gay guys. The guys on the other hand think it "isn't natural". Funny thing is, the chicks don't like lesbians but the guys do. Guess it turns them on or something.

I think homophobia's as ridiculous as religious persecution. It's like instantly disliking someone for liking green cause you like blue.

[Megson]

9 or 10.
It's weird, really. Guys will kid around and touch each other and 'act' gay just to make fun of it, but if you're actually gay, you probably won't go a day without some sort of riducule from SOMEONE. 'Fag' and 'Gay' are the most common insults around my school.

I get picked on just for supporting gay rights and participating the the Day of Silence. There isn't a single out kid in my whole school.

[Joe1996]

I live in England, I would rate it 3.
I'm gay, there are a few people who are offensive because I'm gay, but nothing major.

[Genghis Khan]

They may not be directly mean to you, but a lot [I imagine the majority] would hold some kind of grudge against you.

[Love.Hate]

My old school was very very homophobic. Now I have moved, college seems more relaxed and a lot more mature about. Nobody really cares if you are gay or not.. 2 maybe. Your always going to come across one that's against it.

[clr9823]

2. I just discovered last night that the entire year knows about me being bi for 6 months, yet not one mention was made of it to me and it has not caused any problems. And the friends I actually came out to have been very supportive of it. Only reason it's not a 1 is because some of the teachers can make "homophobic" jokes, but I really just found that you just need a sense of humour.

[BOSS]

I'm home schooled and the thing we go to once a week is a christian organization so 10.

[skypride]

4. I live in Northern Virginia, there are some homophobic kids. But most of kids don't care, and those who don't like it don't say anything. I have a friend who goes to my old middle school... ohmygod. He gets pushed in the lockers and punched in the locker rooms. :(

PS: I also have lots of teachers that know I'm gay, and they are perfectly fine with it and stand up for me.

[Weeping]

Well we started less than a month ago (new school), but I think that my school is pretty accepting.

[Spectrum]

8 or above, nearly all the guys, and quite a bit of the girls, are extremely phobic of anything that isn't heterosexual.

[Magenta]

My school is a 0.

There's a program for students bullied out of school in the LGBT community where they go to catch up on work and credits then go back to normal school... my school was one of the first schools to join that program.

[Triste]

Homophobia is a 10 at my school, there isn't a day that goes by without someone saying something homophobic. It's so immature.

[Simon.]

Very. We are a Christian School, 99.9% don't believe in Homosexuality. Gays move to different schools.

[Carlyle]

10. Around here, its a small community and everyone is close.. but there huge homophobes.

[smithjohn2]

10, australians have a different view on it..

even though were one of the gay capitals ( Sydney )

And I thought Canberra was the capital of Australia? :confused:

[pattycake]

I would say around a 6-7. We have a GSA (I'm president)
But I get a lot of crap for it, but haters gonna hate.
Kids got mad when they herd our governor signed a law that says LGBT history has to be taught along with normal history.
Go California

[songboy]

mines like a 9 you can't go a day without hearing at least 10 gay jokes :(

[Maxxie]

Probably either a 7 or an 8. It's pretty bad over here.

[Fishes]

yeah in my town/family its a 10. :(

[Neptune]

I'm on Independent Study so I am the only student in my school so it's a 0. :p but in my old schools, I would say about 5 for 7th grade and like 0 in K -6, cause nobody cares about sexuality and it isn't even a big deal.

[PerpetualMotionSquad]

10 easily thats y I haven't come out

[Joshh97]

8.
If your suspected of being gay then well your fucked, I get insulted cause of it and I'd say verbal harrasment and rumours and people and shouting. My so called friends don't stick up for me and if your gay you need these 'friends' otherwise your screwed and your probably socially dead and it makes you feel no longer part of the school. Which is why I'm never coming out to the school anymore.
But if your straight your fine.

But then again, we are an old farmers town so, even anywhere, if you look gay, you'd get beat up. Its happened to me. Happens to everyone :/ Moving as soon as I'm 18 can't stand it anymore.

[AlmostHomeless]

I would have to say my school is a 1 or 2. I go to a private school and there are a lot of people who are very supportive towards homosexuals. I moved to private school my freshman year. A few things I noticed is that there are a few kids who intentionally act gay to get on the nerves of the few people who are against being gay. If I was gay and came out I think I would be accepted fairly easily. Most of the people don't mind or care and there are a lot of people who openly support gays.

To contrast, the public school I went to for middle school was a very bad environment for anyone who is gay. Any gay tendencies would result in ridicule and bullying.

[ShadowGirl]

I'd say probably a 7. The lesbians at my school are looked down upon a lot. Gay guys are accepted by girls but not by guys.

[Unique Physique]

Hm, I don't actually know. When I was at school there was only one person I knew of which was openly gay and nobody had any problems with him as far as I'm aware, although 99% of his friends were girls. There was a guy that "came out" as a bisexual in like year 9 and there was one or two guys "freaked out" about it, but that was either a phase or attention seeking anyway from him anyway. Other than that, I don't really know. It just wasn't something which most people had a high opinion on, sure some of the guys used homophobic insults towards people they didn't like or as friendly banter with friends i.e. "battyboy" or "faggot" but there was never really any damning homophobia in my school. And I went to a Catholic school, lol.

[Wonder.]

0

At school, everyone is accepting. In fact, all of the gay people I know of are really popular. Maybe I should finally come out. :P

Adults though, the younger generation of adults (40 and under) mostly are accepting but older, hmmmmmph.

[Rdsxbaseballfan]

i would have to say about 7 or 8. we had a group of protesters last year outside our school about being gay is a sin and they should go to hell. it was during school for all gays to see which is why i odnt plan on coming out that im bi

[blackpo]

I'd say about a 4.5 most people are like okay n then they try to hook u up with someone :) then we have the arogant ppl that try to make the people that are in the LGBT, GLBT, or aka the LGBTQ feel like we are the worst things created

chance that 7

[disassociation2016]

I used to think I had some understanding of my schools level of homophobia, but I don't even know anymore. I'm fairly certain any mention of homosexuality between males or "PDA" would be condemned guys do flirt with one another probably jokingly. We have a few gays who aren't picked on much, but at the same time aren't really accepted.
Lesbians ~1-3
Gays ~4-8

[Skeptical Bear]

Well, I live in the U.S. I would rate my school as a 4 because even though it's frowned upon by the majority from what I'm guessing, you still wouldn't be bullied. It's possible though.

[lacrosselover]

10! i have 1 guy who knows that im bi but he is annoying as poop! haha im the only bi kid! it makes me stressed beyond belief but kids have said to me that if anyone came out of the closet in our grade...they would destryo him...sucks for me

[andy223]

6-7. The teachers and school are really accepting to gays and are all really nice people, but the all the popular guys bash on them horrendously.

[Alex_16]

I would say about 3 or 4 ... there are a bunch of openly gay guys and girls in my school ... and alot of times like in the locker room for gym or after like wrestling practice or football we pretend being gay .. i guess you could say? we just act cuz its funny to us... and we dont really care.. cuz we know if someone is gay or not in our school ..cuz no one cares... so we pretend.. nothing to extreme though lol.. not like showing eachothers our shlongs lol... but yea

[PattisonS07]

I go to a catholic school so being gay is a big no no, but i say fuck it, im open as fuck! My RE teacher is a nun and I told her to fucker herself. HOORAH.

[Sire]

10.

To put this in perspective, my school is responsible for 2 recent suicides of gay students.

[Timmy93]

Lets just very

[andy223]

I go to a catholic school so being gay is a big no no, but i say fuck it, im open as fuck! My RE teacher is a nun and I told her to fucker herself. HOORAH.

Ahahaha. Good for you.

[nazzac]

I dunno. May be an 8. Gay is used as an insult in my school.

[Jupiter]

it'll get way less soon enough.

[Mara-chan]

my high school was a 10.....

college....about a 3....

[thebgsamuel]

8 but most of them are faking and are gay or very curious and bi!

[Kdude146]

9 no one cares and no one cares at my school I am the only open guy at my school I am bi btw and it sucks cuz I have know guys to talk to about it

[CrossingtheCourtyard]

Maybe like, two? Three? The school is very accepting, we have a GSA Club, some of my friends are in it. The students are more-or-less okay. There is still the whole use of 'gay' and 'fag' as insults, be it towards homosexuals or used synonymous with 'stupid' but I don't think I've ever heard of any hate crimes or really bad goings-on involving LGBT students. They seem to be just as well adjusted as heterosexual students, I think.

[dark_soul777]

Australia, 10.

[Guillermo]

ummm probably about an 8...for the most part just about everyone is homophobic and uses the terms "fag" and "gay"..BUT there are a few people that are accepting and don't mind..though, my school would just overall NOT be a good place to be openly gay/bi

[Yianni]

I would rate my school a 1 :D I haven't seen anybody get made fun of or anything, but there's only a few people wo are actually homophobic

[Lawrence P]

For homosexual or bisexual males it is a 9. For Homosexual or bisexual females it is a 7. There are a lot of homosexual and bisexual females at my school, but few males.

[mustang lover]

Mines like a 2. There's a handful of people out but no one cares.
We're close knit since my whole high school has only about 200 kids. And its k-12 school so most of us alll grew up together. I'm in America.

[Giles]

It's a shame that it's different but for girls it's probably about 3-5 and guys it's more like 6-8. As with all differences though it ultimately depends on popularity and the specific people, some are more accepted than others.

[shadowhunter320]

2, faculty doesn't mind but some students are assholes.

[Sire]

Horribly, horribly homophobic.

[Camazot]

i'd say a 7 but there is a couple pop guys that play around but if u do something too wrong they flip on u its weird wisconsin, usa

[landone]

Lesbians - 3-5
Gays - 6-8

However, there are quite a few lesbians at our school and the only gay guy graduated last year. I don't remember hearing about him being bullied ever, but I hear gay jokes and slurs pretty often, even if its "just a joke". California.

[Anselmo]

9- I think that in my school only girls are OK with gay people...

[GummyBear]

- 5 Leeds,UK
Not very common to see openly gay people about at all in school.
There has to be more gay (or even bi) people than there is.
As it does seem non-existant probably because it would be social sucide to come out in the school envioroment with those sorts of people about despite it being on the surface 'accepting'

[shy teen boy]

8 it is frowned upon but some people think it is okay

[tetoo123]

I'd say about a 6 or a 7 cause in the US being gay is frowned upon, I wish society could accept people for who they are were all human arent we? so why be treated to crule if your gay or not?

[sieg]

11, indiana kids will not take too kindly to anyone who's not straight or white.

[bleachedteen]

my school is very open because it is a small community and a lot of people are bisexual
I would rate it as a 6 however
because I feel if anyone acted on their homosexuality or said they were full out gay or lesbian I know that they would probably be avoided and ostracized.
at my school saying your bisexual is a nice inbetween for everyone
-usa

[Suicune]

Overall I'd say a 6.

There are the supporters, people who ignorant/don't understand, and those that just don't care. There are couple open gays, hell even transgender, and the upperclassmen that are the majority that don't care.

The younger students will tear you apart.

[The realist]

8 unfortunately

[canadaski]

I'd say my school is a 2. The whole school is very accepting as there are several openly gay teachers and the guidance counselor that runs GSA has a gay son. We have a sexuality week sometime in the second semester, hopefully I can muster up the balls to join the GSA by then and come out to everybody.

There are a few kids I know that use derogatory gay slang every second word; we all know why that is. It irritates me sometimes although I`ve never said anything about it.

[Rayquaza]

I'd say about 5 because some people really despise of it and some people are gay. That's London.

[Dimitri]

my high school was a 10.....

college....about a 3....

Dear, I went to school with you, PHS is a 6, South was a 10....BELIEVE ME!!!!

College...yeah, 3....

[that kid]

I'd say a 7. I go to an all guys school so you can imagine the testosterone flowing around but the occasional gay kid doesn't throw everyone off and isn't treated like crap or anything.

[Iris]

Ha. about 10 trillion. Maybe more.

[Smeagol]

I'd say 0. There is a lesbian couple in my class, and they are the most popular people and nobody uses their orientation to insult them. I live in USA.

[Mara-chan]

Dear, I went to school with you, PHS is a 6, South was a 10....BELIEVE ME!!!!

College...yeah, 3....


i believe u.....

u havent rly been in PHS....it was horrible.....
u came in @ a time where everything was calm....and no1 was rly "out".....

[Alex_I_love_R]

Hey:)
I go to a private school, and it's a definite 10.. We have had two suicides.one lesbian and one gay. I don't understand what the big deal is, just let people be happy:)

[Exo212]

9, we have one openly gay kid at our school who is friends with "the popular kids" so no one really gives him much crap...but anyone else? You're screwed...

[Antagonist]

Its a 1 here. In my middle school, litterally 90% of the students are bi or gay.

[Spectrum]

My last school was about a 9. Nobody was openly out of the closet to everyone, there were no GLBT or GSA organizations, and hearing anti-gay remarks was more than common.

That's Texas for you I guess...

[Manga]

2 homosexuals I believe, our school is very homophobic.

I give us a 9

[Kimy]

I'd say about 5 as all the girls don't care and about 80% are gay or bi, but not a single boy wants to come out for fear of death (not litterally, you know what i mean).
East midlands England.

[curious_boy_13]

i would 2....they are very open and they accept all.

[wattado]

prob around 4 or 5

[AppealToReason]

Probably about a 2.
Sure, we have the gay jokes and the "ew, that's so wrong" type, but we also have jocks being best friends with gays, gay rockers, gay cheerleaders, gay jocks, gay band members, ect, ect, ect.

[Dimentio]

9 and from England.
Well i told two friends, One kept it a secret, The other told others and so on and so forth, It then got to the point where most teachers refuse to go near me and i lost all my friends basically even the other one i told, And i am not welcome there no more, I would give it a 10 if it was not for one teacher and one kid.

[VeryWell]

I consider myself lucky. 3-4, I guess. Most people are liberal in my School, but every paradise got it's handful of snakes.

I live in Norway, btw.

[Ryukie]

10, It's a former catholic school and my head of 6th form is very homophobic

[teenageapplelover]

Probably a nine for guys, since quite a few of us can dress a little bit more effeminate (by that I mean wearing clothes other than sports jerseys...ha.) and act a little gay (slapping each others butts or whatever) but any approving of homosexuality or gay rights is a no no. For girls, probably a six. They can sleep in the same bed and act a pretty lesbian, but they would be hung if they were actually homosexual and ridiculed if supported homosexuals.
I go to a christian school on the west coast of the United states. It's sickeningly homophobic. Probably 95% of people there believe being homo, bi, or trans sexual is a sin and "a choice." They use gay synonymously with stupid or weird. They freely use the word fag(got) and are confused or laugh at me when I try to tell them these words are inappropriate and filled with hate.
It is inappropriate for a Christian school to be acting with so much hate. I love the people at my school and it kills me daily to know they are so filled with hate. For those of you on these forums who are gay lesbian bi or trans, know that there are plenty of Christians who don't act this way, who believe god loves you and accepts you into his kingdom regardless of sexuality.

[MitchMaster18]

It depends. For girls, like a 2. Guys think it's hot. I don't have anything against it, but you shouldn't view it as hot cause it's not like they are gonna make out for you... And for guys, like a 9. "Gay" is used as a synonym for stupid, which disgusts me. And barely anyone talks to the few open guys. I feel really bad, and when I try to talk to them everyone attacks me for being gay, and I'm not, so it's kind awful.

[Fourth Dimension]

in my highschool it prolly would be a 10 which would have put me in the group i was already in lol and as for my school now 0 anything goes no one cares

[biboikyle]

lets see, im doing an exchange year this year in spain and i came out here...
i'd say 2 with the school here and a 7 with the school i went to in the states

[BeyondOne]

For girls, 2
For guys, 7 or 8

[tyry99]

I live I'm michigan and in middle school and its about and eight witch sucks cause im bi but can't tell anyone

[Swagamemmnon]

I'd say 1. I'm in a pretty liberal part of North Carolina, and the only homophobic expression you hear is "That's so gay" but not in a manner designed to offend gay people specifically.

[DeviantTigerFTM]

I would say 3.There are a few open Lgbt people but people normally just ignore us so its not so bad

[chris4827]

i'd rate my school as a 1 since apparently being bi is the new popular decision :/ too bad im actual bi and not trying be popular lol

[Ceous98]

USA 9-10!! I was called gay before because I was singing! Also apparently all straight people are stupid I was also called gay for that reason! Called faggot daily!!! So it's bad!!! I think I'm bi but I really don't want to experiment or come out, they would kill me!!

[munzy5581]

not at all i go to al all guys school and its a common practice to call someone gay or f$# in the hall way just passing by no one has ever really felt alone if they are gay.

[dragonslayer]

i'd have to say 1 or 2. I have a friend (guy) whose gay and regularly wears girl clothes to school and no one thinks twice about it, i live in the united states

[Rootin]

Definitely a ten.
People in my school use the word 'gay' when ever something they dont like happens. like when they get extra homework or something.
"oh, Gay."
Kind of like how people use the word 'sad' or 'stink'.
I dont know of anyone gay at my school, but that's probably because they feel the need to hide it.

[Desuetude]

In mine a 1 for girls and a 8 for boys. We have lots of openly gay girls and people are fine with it but I don't think many boys are out of the closet or there just arnt many and Im not sure people would act the same with gay boys as they do girls.
I mean the boys call each other gay as an insult and are pretty homophobic and even if a boy has a high voice or way they act or dress is a little weird people always call them gay when they're bot, hmm yeah gay boys would not go down to well in my school.

[Jupiter]

9...

[Luke2]

I'm in australia I'd say my school is about 7

[Mortal Coil]

Although the country where I live, Singapore, is VERY homophobic (It's illegal for gay people to live here!) the school I go to is fine with it, actually I think the LGBTQ kids are more popular because of it, even the guys.

[Auzzie 94]

Back in my High School life I heard numerous teacher call male students "faggots" "panzies" "fairy fuckers" "faries" "poofters" and so on.... Usually it was the teachers for PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education, PDHPE is the Australian version"Gym Class" but we had theory one period then the next time we have that class we do practical which is all the physical stuff). I also witnessed one of the PDHPE teachers who is known for teasing the gay students call one lesbian student a "disgusting dyke" and told her that over weight and ugly girls should not be able to be lesbians. I approached the teacher and defended this girl and asked him if he thought homosexuality is okay? His reply was "If you're a guy, then no, but for girls it's fine, what kind of guy wouldn't love two hot lesbians? A faggot obviously." I was shocked.... I told him to go fuck himself and I told him that he can't speak to students like that, I told him if he did it again that i'd take him around the back of the oval (soccer/football frield) and teach him a lesson, he told me he's reporting me for threatening him (would have resulted in me being suspended/expelled from the school). Anyway I told him the who class was witness to what he said to (I won't mention her name) and that if he reported me for threatening him we'd all report him fro what he said and he'd lose his job and surprisingly the whole class backed me up... The girl thanked me later, even now that i'm out of school we still chat on Facebook alot. So i'd rate the High School I attended at around a 10 (being the worst).

[BluSapphireEyes]

I'd say probably a 5 1/2

[christianteen]

2. Nobody talks about it at all.

[Electra Heart]

Like 7, someone mentioned some gay rights activist in my homeroom and about 7 of the 12 kids said, "EW!" or "Faggot!" So yeah... they also constantly say shit like "that's SO gay!"... ignorant bastards.

[Sephtyan]

My school is, thankfully, a 0. I go to a school in Seattle, Capitol hill area, WA. The school is a little one called Nova or "The Nova Project". We have student art everywhere, on walls and ceilings and tables, and it's all love here. I'm sorry for those of you who have to be in a school that doesn't accept you for who you are.

[jack316]

0. nobody in my year cares. literally I'm the guy in our year everybody loves. and I'm friends with everybody even the hot straight guys that know i think they're hot. I live in australia too, and I'm so happy i go to such an accepting school.

its a christian school too hahaha

[Professional Russian]

10 My school doesnt have a big gay community so if there are any they wont say

[decaffe]

10 to the 5th power if your bi/gay/lesbo your shuned and forever alone and that is why i will never come out openly

[Swagamemmnon]

3. In general, most people are OK with LGBT people, but there are a small amount of homophobes.

[Craig1995]

2/3 there not alot of homophobia in my skl and there's quite alot of us there too :L

[jamesscott]

my school isnt very homopohbic im gay and everyone knows it and i have no problems

[Haleyzmont]

1. Everyone is nice and accepting it makes me feel good about myself

[Thanatos]

Mines probably a 4, While people do call things gay, etc. There are people who are gay and they are not harassed for it. Im out as Bi and no one really has a problem, but theres always a few.

[Mtc 10]

Pretty good. I mean like the people who are out and open most of the people are VERY accepting. We even have a cross dresser. But i mean there are some people who like make fun of them. But my school is SOOOO big that its not really that hard to avoid anhone so that is probs the main reason. FOr many of the gay people unless they are like "gay acting people".. Many people may not know they are gay!

[User_Does Not Exist]

4 pretty mature school

[KidImage]

1 my school supports LGBT rights. There's a lot of lesbian teachers at my school as well as gay teachers.

[liberty1]

Hmm... 6.

Gay jokes, gay is not the right way to be. But not to the point of making fun of gay people, insulting gay people.

[Stronger]

I would say 7-8, I do know of a few gay people but other than that I don't think there are any other openly gay people, which doesn't surpirse me since they would probably get bullied.

[Shark98]

8 or 9
Two guys in my school got in trouble for making out.
Texas isn't very exceptionable of gays

[Wicked_Syn]

United States
and I'd say maybe a 3. My school is a melting pot of almost every single social group in life basically.

[Daracon]

I would say 5 or 6, it is a Catholic uniform school, and people call eachother "faggots" all the time. There are some real A-holes in the school too.

[Contra]

Maybe a 4, because there are people who accept it perfectly and people who frown upon it, but just mock quietly. To my awareness, there haven't been any acts of bullying towards someone due to his/her sexuality.
I decided to rate it with a 4 because there are still a lot of people who dislike homossexuals/bissexuals, more than there should be in this day and age. And the stupid comments are just childish.

[Tyler12]

I know I will get hate mail for this but screw it. In my school if your gay bi or curious NO one talks to you or respects you at all, why? I live in pa there's a shit load of rednecks so yea

[kaiba]

4 from CT, USA.... Us sports guys just mess about but it doesn't mean anything, but if someone was really gay then it would be fine I guess

[Mysterious Skin]

9. I would say that I set myself up for failure when I enrolled at a boys school.

[Smeagol]

Now I think my school is a 10. Being the only only openly lesbian... not fun at all. I get chased and yelled at and excluded...

[Libby_xo]

mines 8/9

if you get unlucky enough to have a rumour thats your bi/gay/lesbian, youll get ignored, pushed around basically embarrsed til the rumours die down..

[APWBD]

I go to an all guys catholic school so it is 7-8. If it is obvious ur gay then its fine but if it is a shocker to everyone its social suicide. Sounds weird but it is tru. i think it is because if they no ur gay then they r used to it but if they are not they think you like them and are scared that everything they ever did with the person was a lie. Im not gay (im either bi or str8, i like girls emotionally and physically but only like guys physically, dont no y) i just no because i no guys who r. Sad to admit but i was homophobic for a short period of time when my friend said he was gay because we did things together, not sexually, but i was afraid he liked me and i did not like him back. But i am not homophobic anymore!

[zakky666]

I`d have to say 1. I live in ohio and its basically accepted where i live. We even have groups in our school that support gays. Our principle is gay so it makes everything alot easier to.

[disassociation2016]

Probably a 5. It is really more about the individual than the hate. There is a specific kid who wants attention and it seems like he acts gay in order to receive it. Really gives gays a bad name. Going around telling people how he f'ed guys that he obviously didn't and that are straight leads to a bunch of crap, and considering that this is Georgia.... Yeah.

[nick.g.johnson]

10, australians have a different view on it..

even though were one of the gay capitals ( Sydney )

So not true, might be in your area but don't tarnish all of Australians with the same brush. Umm my first school was a 6, a few gays but they were outcasted. School now is probably a 2, plenty of gay/bi guys, sex-ed is catered to both gays and straights and gay couples are treated the same as straight.

[xDILLIGAFx]

[Demetri08]

I don't think my school is homophobic at all. They've been promoting multiple gay/straight alliance meetings this year.

[ZzKingz]

Homophobia: 6.
Discrimination and bullying: 1.
The homophobia's there, but gays are typically pretty popular here. It seems to me that most people look past it, or at least set aside our differences. I know the homophobia is there because everyday I hear "that's gay" or "way to be a fag," and even though it's not targeted AT LGBT people like bullying, it shows the underlying stigmas attached to homosexuality.

I'm gay and have experienced no bull over it. We have a gay-straight alliance at my school. Generally people (here in the moun'ns) know better than to judge someone for their sexuality. Then of course there are the "too cool for fags" kids who say derogatory things, but they don't have much credibility here.

Those posts saying 9 or 10 make me physically sick :(

[MJohn]

Very. 90%. No gays would go out the closet ! Or even bi!

[need-help]

Probably about a 2/3. No one has really came out yet but you can kinda tell. Im in Missouri, USA

[TeddyBearRock]

8/10

[Straight]

probably about 3.. I live in the gay capital of Europe :/

[itsjustnerdyme]

About 2 , many people believe it to be taboo,and use stereotypes,but no one hates anyone because of sexuality. :)

[DarkHorses]

I would say about 3 or 4. It seems like a lot of the people at my school are bisexual, mostly the girls. I don't think anyone really cares what you are. But there are the occasional idiotic guys who like to make fun of the girls who aren't straight, just because they think it's funny and want to find a way to insult them.

[Djentleman]

21436352. No but seriously, this place is infested with bigots. If they have a spare moment, they'll call you a faggot.

[WickedWeekend]

5, I live in the U.S at a Christian school.

about 1000 we have had a suicide last year supposed to be related to homopohbia live in nova scotia, canada

Canadians just hate homos eh? Mine too but mine is 80-90% and in Alberta.

[fire and water]

Probably about a one or two really, im from Scotland and although there's alot of predjudice toward many other things, homsexuality is not one. Oneof the most popular girls in our school is a lesbian, and one of the most well respected boy's is gay. We're pretty open minded.

[babolat96]

I would probably say about 4 or 5. Most people are fine with it, but then you've got the really homophobic ones.

[Meh1421]

Meh, I'd say about a 3 in my school. I'm in the uk, and a few people wouldn't be accepting, but my friends would.

[JJSSHH]

3. Where i live in Colorado, its like hippie central.

[xDILLIGAFx]

....

[Krazymitch]

0. anything goes.. school accepts it, students accept it.. well for me that's the case. but i can honestly say (trying not to sound up myself) i'm quite alot more popular than the other gay/bi kids, so no-one gives me shit, cant speak on behalf of the others though.

[workingatperfect]

I'd say 1, my school would joke about it a lot, but definitely not in a mean or condescending way and everyone was incredibly accepting of it. I'm pretty sure the prom king a couple years ago was gay, and on the basketball team, he was pretty popular. So yeah, not an issue at all at my old high school. People were really open about it.

[Danny_boi 16]

I want to say my school is not that Homophobic, but I know I can't be myself there :(
My school seems like a fake place when it comes to being socially accepting. So I would have to give it a 7. Oh, I live in the US.

[TigerBoy]

When I first came out 3 years ago, I'd have said maybe 4, but to be honest since I started this year with my boyfriend its made me realise these days its definitely a zero. We can do anything a straight couple can do, and get no problems. I'd say this is because things have actually improved simply because more and more kids are coming out all the time, some of the out kids are very popular and so it would probably now be social suicide to be homophobic if anything.
