Why?

"Your Gay!!!"
yet again I hear the phrase in the hallway, and yet again I'm rolling my eyes. I'm so used to hearing it as an insult that I can't even be insulted anymore. Being a lesbian, with plenty of homosexual friends, we hear it so often that we can't even take offense. It has even come to the point where some of my gay friends say it to eachother, but with us, its more of an inside joke. Were secretly laughing at all the people who use the phrase to insult someone else, because to us, were just normal people. We all don't really understand what the prejudice is against gay people. What I don't understand is why people thinks its ok to turn to violence just because they have something against homosexuals. What if homosexuals decided to be predujice against heterosexuals and turned to violence as well? what would the world we lived in be like? I just wish I knew where all the peace and love went...
