Being bullied Quote by Dan Savage

“And that really captures the difference for the bullied straight…” quote by Dan Savage — Download Open image

“And that really captures the difference for the bullied straight kid versus the bullied gay kid, is that the bullied straight kid goes home to a shoulder to cry on and support and can talk freely about his experience at school and why he's being bullied. [...] And I couldn't go home and open up to my parents.”
