First, recognize that this is a problem a lot of people have. If you're in a large lecture hall (300+ people) and you have a question you want to ask, almost everyone will start to second-guess themselves, get nervous, plan out reactions to all possible responses, worry they're going to sound stupid, etc. I don't have a problem with anger, but I have a more embarassing problem! Sometimes I'm afraid I'm going to cry during discussions I really care about. Anyway, the answer is just to jump in. You can't let the adrenaline mount up on you. Just say something as soon as the opportunity arises, try to keep your mind on the issues rather than how you feel, and roll from there. I support gay rights & think being gay or bi is just as normal as being straight. (Ooops--sorry. You said you didn't care what I thought about the issue. My bad!) But consider this: those students who are disagreeing with 100+ other students are bravely putting their opinions out there in what feels like a hostile climate to them. They're not necessarily angry bigots, and they're not necessarily people who would harm or ridicule a gay person. They might have reasons for feeling as they do. "How dare you!" isn't a good, college-level response any more than "because it's wrong" is. Give them a chance to speak their minds and then respond to the points they raise. I think science is on your side. You say you're not a native English speaker (but your post was very well written!), so you probably come from a different country. How are gay people treated in your country? A lot of things have changed in the US in the past 30 yrs. Sometimes American college students aren't very well informed about the world as a whole. If you share stories about gay rights in your first country, it might really open up the debate and give your classmates something to think about.
