Gay Bashing
I don't know if this is the proper forum, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Nothing to lose.
Last night a fraternity brother, ten years older, called after midnight. I was asleep but heard him leave a message on my machine that began, "Hey Butt Munch!. I got a PM from a guy I don't know. If he's a member of the gay community please tell him I'm not! Where the hell are you, you fist-fu*king faggot?".
Funny huh. It sounded like he was drunk but was still pretty disturbing since I confided in him months ago that I was gay and virtually my whole chapter knows. I've been out for years and whereas they all accept it, this guy just can't seem to let it go.
I've never even done the things he's talking about but he mentions it every chance he gets like it's cool to call me derogatory names and say he loves me as a brother all the same, like I'm some token minority he knows.
Last night was over the edge. I'm a pretty macho-type guy myself but it still took me two hours to get back to sleep after hearing the message he left. I never thought being honest with a brother would wind up like this.
Maybe I'm over-reacting or being too sensitive but this recent incident has haunted me all day and I'm still upset, otherwise I wouldn't be writing.
