Was there any homophobia during your secondary or college years?

No in real life, I have never came across any homophobics.

That's because the vast majority of them wouldn't dare let their views be known by other 'real' people, because they know they'll get ridiculed and quickly lose an argument if someone injects any common sense or logic.

I thought about that actually, but I think my school has a greater sense of community than there is with people of hatred, ignorance and a sense in need to discriminate others. We have gays in my school, everyone gets along with them just like other students would. Even though some students parents, especially the more religious ones, don't accept it I would have to say none of the students are homophobic.
The world is changing, I think people are more accepting now than they were a decade ago.

I won't lie though there have been people who questioned about it, but they never had signs of being against LGBT.

Of course, it's natural for people to be intrigued by the differences between them and other people, so questions are quite normal. From my own experience at university (and college), no-one really cares what you are. Plenty of people are open about their sexuality and it's such a non-issue, largely because it's irrelevant, but also because there's much better things to spend time on and worry about.

It was rife at my school. Mind you I come from a fairly Neanderthal area. No one would have chosen to come out then. And I don't even think homophobic abuse would have been considered bullying. Hopefully that institution has moved on..

Why do you hope it grows? There's nothing wrong with being gay, in fact, if it means there's less idiots like yourself, reproducing more idiots, homosexuality should be encouraged.

Hey, homosexuals can be morons too

It was awful in my secondary school. Somebody I know quite well came out as gay and on one occasion he had quite horrible things shouted at him whilst he was in our local town centre with his mother and little brother by people from our school.

In year 11, somebody from my friendship group came out as bisexual and whilst our most in our group didn't care an idiot did leave our group because of it. I can remember people would just go up to him and quiz him about why he likes "c**k", as if it was some kind of a joke. He went back into the closet...
