it depends on how old you are..... Are you in high school? If so, stand tall and go talk to the teachers and the princiapl. it is the school's responsibility to protect you. The last boy who got seriously beat up in high school, sued the school for millions of dollars. The schools know they must protect you so stand your ground.
If you're strong enough (emotionally), use the palm of your hand -- you know "Talk to the hand." I don't listen., I don't hear it. I don't pay them any attention. Watch your back 'cause there are still crazy people out there. But if you appear sure of yourself, the less you will get picked on.
Contact gay organizations in your area: gay center, hotline, PFLAG-- they willall help you meet other young gay people so you'ff feel better about yourself. Each of our journeys down this path is different and we can't tell you exactly what will happen, but stand tall. I promise it will get easier and better. HUGS!

Unfortunately, baby, most folks in society still think that we're degenerate, sick, and twisted and would love to "kill us all". But you stand your ground and hold your head high. You've done nothing wrong to deserve mistreatment(by being gay). I suggest you get away from these people(Are they on your job? Where you work out? This is kind of fuzzy to me.)before someone gets hurt. You might want to look into a restraining order as well. Check your local judicial procedures. Be safe and take care, boo!

Unfortunately, nothing. People will hate you no matter who you are, gay or straight, because it's in the human nature. Just be you, that's all you can do. You'll notice that once you love yourself, you'll find yourself making friends who love you too. Anyone who treats you as anything less than the beautiful person you are is only trying to bring you down so they can feel better about themself, and if you come down a notch, they win. All I can say is be you, and to hell with anyone who doesn't agree.

Where's it happening?
If it's at school turn them in, if they don't do anything about it go to the school board. If that doesn't help contact the ACLU.
Work?
That type of harassment will get them fired and if the company doesn't fire them you can sue them.
Public? Not much there unless it's the same group. If it is the same group turn them in to the police or look into a restraining order.

People don't like to be confronted with things they are uncomfortable with. Sex (straight or otherwise) is something a LOT of people are uncomfortable about dealing with, with strangers. Its your right to be openly gay (and I personally am totally cool with that), but its also other peoples rights to have a reaction to something that they feel is being "shoved in their face".
People who don't know you, will think you're talking a certain way or acting a certain way on purpose. They don't know its just part of who you are.
Just expect people to be rude & insensitive. Sadly it comes with the turf, there's little you can do to change other people whos minds are made up and feel angry about your presence.
Just stay polite, don't give them any satisfaction by reacting to their insults. Show them you're above them, and let it bounce off. They aren't worth getting upset over. Stay brave. ^_^

Remove yourself from that group of people. Make sure you are not wearing your homosexuality on your sleeve as a challenge. Be responsible for your own behavior, we all have to make compromises in our day to day lives, no matter if you are gay or straight.
If you are truly being threatened, then if you are in school, lodge a complaint and demand action. If you are in the work place, do the same thing.

You don't tell us enough about what's going on for us to be very helpful. But I find that if I conduct myself as though I belonged in any setting, I'm treated as though I belong. So I do my job and do it well, I contribute to the groups I belong to, not just tag along, and I don't make an issue of my sexuality.
Please share more about you and what kind of harassment you are experiencing, and maybe the readers can help.

as one person has mentioned, take a self defense class or boxing. coz once you have learn those stuff for a year, you will be confident and will talk and walk differently.
Being a very strong person did not make me a confident person until i take up boxing. of course i am not saying beating up people should be your option, just walk away and beat people up only when they bite.

YOu can't really....just leave them alone....it also depends on the situation if you have a friend who's a girl and somewhat attractive to the straight guys have her and friends yell at the guys harrasing you..that might work...or get some buff guy to rough them up...I also don't know how open you are about your sexuality I advise you don;t go broadcasting it with people...don't shut it but hey why tell someone your orientation if they don't ask? Don't tell people you are gay unless necessary...if they see you with another guy then you have to confess but if your just playing pool or something with them no reason to tell them

Maybe you should stop telling them that you are gay. I've managed to live quite a few years, out and about the town, and never have I ran into someone, ANYONE, who told me their sexual preference. I have absolutely no way of knowing whether or not anybody is gay, straight, bi, or whatever, unless they advertise it. And why would they advertise it? Your sexual preference does not define who you are, and the only person that needs to know what it is, is the person under your sheets. Keep your private business private, don't let others invade your space, and nobody is going to know one way or the other.
