I am a high school student and I'm REALLY sick of hearing people say "That's so gay!" and "So-and-so is a f@ggot!" every day. They think that it is just a harmless phrase but it isn't. How can I get my peers to stop saying such intolerant things?
I realise that high school students will, to some extent, always be idiots, but this is just unacceptable. I've already taken the matter up with the perpetrators, the teachers, and even the principal. I've tried to start a GSA, but it got denied. I've asked people what's homosexual about a homework assignment or whatever they called gay, but that just makes them say more offensive things and laugh about it. Sometimes I think I am the only gay person in my entire school (though, to be fair, it is sort of small).
What do I do?
