Unfairness

I think it is very unfair that people are treated unequal due to their gender. I have noticed here at school that those who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual are shunned and ignored. I have also noticed that if someone is gay they are often times rejected by someone of the same sex. For example, I went to the starbucks right by school one day and this boy who was about 18 dropped a twenty dollar bill on the floor and the very feminine gay boy who was in line behind him picked it up and told him that he had dropped his change and handed it to him with a sincere and polite smile. The 18 year old snatched it from the gay boy and told him," keep your damn hands off my money faggot, I bet you were trying to reach for something else" and the 18 year old's friends began laughing and encouraging their friend for being rude. Luckily the lady behind the gay boy told the 18 year old to eff off and he ought to be more accepting considering the gay boy is a lot cuter than him. They all shut up and got their drinks and walked off but I will never forget the look of the gay boy's face of sadness and unacceptance when that 18 year said that along with the friends praising him. The gay boy had such a heartbreaking look on his face, but still tried to compose himself and ordered his drink. I noticed that as he walked away he did not have that same bounce in his walk as he first did when he walked into the coffee shop. I think people should stop being so unfair and try to be more accepting.
