homophobic+bullying

I don’t think bullying someone because they are gay is right. It is a violation of the human rights acts of man and it is against the law. Whether one agrees with homosexuality or not, everyone should have the right to choose a partner of their choice. In my school there was a male student who came out of the closet and admitted that he was gay. Unfortunately, the fact that he admitted that he was gay caused some problems as he was beaten up by two other male students. In my opinion, this is not right. I happen to be a friend of this gay student and because I defended his right to be whoever he is; I was accused of being gay and I was made fun of. Some students praised these two guys for beating up my friend; others were upset by the beating. This was a serious incident and as a result the police were called in to intervene and an investigation occurred. I do not understand why people seem to be afraid of gay people. Sometimes I think that people thinks that a person who is gay that this must be something contagious that they will catch it or that people are afraid that children are gloing to be molested because a person is gay, I also get made fun of cause I do not view girls as sexual objects. I view them as good friends and human beings with feelings. I get called gay which there is no need of. I definitely do not think people should be judged fbecause they are gay. This article reminds me of my friend and how he was bullied for being gay just like the young boy in the article.
