I've been out the closet for quite sometime now, but I never really have told anyone what happened to me. I was 17, and in high school. The whole school pretty much knew that I was gay, but I'm guessing a group of cubans (I'm cuban myself, I'm not trying to offend anyone) found out that I was gay.
Well, it started with getting threatening text messages from someone anonymous that went to my school. I eventually changed my phone number, but they still found out my new number one way or another. After I would get these treatening messages for a few months, I got so aggrivated and told the principal and called the cops to the school. The cops were able to track the text messages and found the guy who was sending them to me. He got arrested on the spot and would only go to prison for 2 months. By the time the 2 months were over, it was already summer break. I was enjoying the summer perfectly and loving it because I was about to become a senior. That was, until I found out the guy was released from prison.
A couple days after I found out he was released, I went to the park to go play some football with friends. I got there earlier then anyone else so I could stretch and run a little bit to get my body ready for tackles. Well, the guy came out of nowhere and pushed me to the floor and he was with about 6-8 more people. One thing led to another, and I got gay-bashed.
It was such a horrible experience in my life, but in the end I grew strong and went through my senior year nice and smooth. Too this day, I have done nothing but become a stronger person then what I originaly was.
This story I've kept hidden from MANY people. The people I was gonna play football don't even know, I just ran home after I got jumped and called them and told them that I wouldn't be able to make it. This is my first time telling ANYONE about it, and it feels good to finally let this bad part of my life out of my mind. I feel amazing now.
I was wondering if anyone else here has ever gotten gay-bashed?
