everyone thinks im lesbian.

for a start, i have nothing against lesbians. but i am not a lesbian. I am very much into men, and yet it's widely rumoured that im into women.
it wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is, if it wasn't for the fact that it was used against me in every opportunity possible by the idiotic males my age. firstly, there is nothing wrong with being gay, so why someone's happiness is used as an insult, I'll never understand. and secondly, people are starting to believe that my best friend, who is a straight female, wants to hook up with me? only because of these rumours.
it's so infuriating, especially now, because of this, my crush has decided to friend zone me, believing i like women. I've tried denying the rumours multiple times, telling everyone that it isn't true, but to no avail. i don't know what to do, it's truly irritating me and makes me feel unwanted (many people in my year are open homophobes, which really doesn't help).

Firstly, if your crush decided to believe rumors rather than listening to you - then you dodged a bullet bc it just goes to show who they truly are. You don't want to spend time with someone that doesn't listen or understand what you have to say.
Secondly, I'm sorry you had to go through it. Its stupid bc theres nothing wrong for being it but I can understand how annoying it is, for people telling you that you are one thing when you know yourself the best. The people in your school just sound horrible, and hopefully in the future, no one will care. So many people just thrive on rumors, and they don't care if its true or not - because they just find it interesting. It's hard to ignore them but thats probably all you can do for now.
At least you still have your best friend tho. My whole friendgroup thought i was lesbian too but i managed to shut it down and they're the type of people to drop things instanly so in that way, i was very luck for it not to escalate. Is there a reason people think you are? Like the way you act or look like? Either way, you and your best friend know the truth and at the end of the day - thats what matters.
