3Amaranth13 I have been by a friend of mine, but not because of my sexuality, but because of my autism. She was being mean about another person with the same disability, but she also insulted me too by doing so. I have a form of autism, but apparently it's hard for people who don't know to notice. I've noticed people using 'autistic' as a sort of popular word now, in an entirely negative way, much like 'gay'. I've had friends make rather harsh fun of people and call them autistic, and when actually talking about someone who may or may not have it, people say things like "There was this person, this person, and this autistic guy". Nice to know everyone isn't judged but you're instantly the autistic kid o_o. They'll talk about them like they're zoo animals. It's never directed at me, and people really don't have a clue, but I indirectly find it offensive when people talk about something they no doubt know little of in a highly negative way.
To also answer the topic, I've had to listen to people rant about wrong stereotypes of sexualities and the like a lot as if those were the only truth. They weren't directed at me, but still it was indirectly offensive. It's mainly small-scale prejudice though, from ignorant friends.

I agree. Most people are my school are that way. When they think of people with disabilties, they think of them as weirdos or someone who's incredibly dumb. It offends me a lot because a lot of them are incredibly smart and have wonderful personalities.

my freinds keep telling me that i just need to go ahead and "come out already." they're all either gay, bi, or in a straight and happy relationship with someone who is undoubtably MALE. its mainly the lgbt people who im freinds with that are making the joke. thing is, im straight as a board, and not to offend anyone, but there's absolutely no way that i ever could be Lesbian or Bi because of...things....that happened when i was little. (no i will not go into detail, especially not where just anyone can read, im paranoid) they dont realize that them saying im secretly les is hurtful to me, and the only person in my group of freinds that knows doesnt do anything about it, and they all wonder why i get so snappy, moody and isolated after they pick on me because they're "just joking around".
