So about a year ago, we had to do a speech about something we were interested in. These would then be recorded to put on the school website. I decided to do one about gay rights as it was not yet legalized in my state. I decided to mention that I was gay during the speech, which wasn't a shock to people. In the end, it went really well. Then a couple of hours later, during lunch, I was walking by the teachers' lounge to get to the lunch hall when I heard my speech being played. Being curious, I stopped and I heard them repeat “I am gay myself actually” a couple of times over. From the corner, I could see my 6th-grade teacher pass my computer studies teacher 10 dollars. Then suddenly, I sneezed really loudly; the teachers swiveled around and saw me standing there. My 6th-grade teacher has largely moved past it, but my computer studies teacher refuses to make eye contact with me.
