(17,505 posts)But I've been called "queer" "faggot" "homo" "cocksucker" and the like at least every month from the 6th grade on. It slacked off a bit (used to be daily) after I left school but to this day, at age 56, it hasn't disappeared. And I'm not a drag queen, or even limp wristed with a lisp. I do like bright shirts and talk about ballet, opera, theatre and classical music a lot though.
Anyway.... this guy has had a charmed life. It's nice to know someone can get upset by name calling. I've become so tired of it, I don't care anymore what anyone calls me.
P.S. In Jr. High for a while there I was called a "kike" and "fuckin' Jew-boy" (I'm not Jewish).... to which I would answer "I'm Presbyterian!". "Don't lie about it, Jew!" is the answer I would get. I would just say "Fine... Mazel tov everyone!" This is when I learned the truth rarely matters over what people want to think.
