So, have you had anything awful happen to you because you are gay or whatev? Gaybashed? Etc? I need examples for my personal interest project.

nothing really horrible has happened to me, touch wood.
i got some abuse at school though, i was spat at and stuff, there was grafitti about me in the toilets at school, all round the cubicle in huge letters it said how i was a dirty dyke & i was gonna get 'fucked up', but they were so retarded they spelt my name wrong.

ewww thats mean. has anything happened to your gay friends or anything?

My friend who came out as lesbian after being married and having kids, said that when her and her girlfriend were in Brighton at a Gay Pride march someone said "fucking dykes!" and she replied "State the bleeding obvious why don't ya!"

it was sorta kinda not subtle but this is the only thing that comes to mind

in my performance art class we had this woman in her 40s...super christian
anyway she had just performed and we were going to critique it
well apart from being lame the issue of whether she was being judgemental or critical came up

i decided to jump in since no one was sayin much and told her i had issue with the fact that i got she was criticizing pop culture and its over sexness but that i didnt get why she had a picture of lance bass with the the text that followed it reading "unnatural"
that because of that i felt she was now being judgemental since i know she's christian and probbaly homophobic as well

she then began her statement with "Gaby i know you're homsexual, but i think you're ok..." (never had i stated that i was gay in that class...not that i'm not out but i don't know how she could have deduced this fact since its never been brought up in anyway shape or form)

my professor flipped out and started yelling at her. it turned into this huge thing.
the woman tried getting out of the hole by bringing my friend jon (who's gay) with her and saying "jon knows i care about him, we've talked after class before, he knows i don't hate him"

etc etce etc etc
