Approximately a year ago, we had to give a speech about something we were passionate about. These would then be recorded to upload to the school website. I opted to do one about gay rights as it was not yet legalized in my state. I thought it was a good idea to mention that I was gay during the speech, which wasn't a shock to people. In the end, it went really well. Then a couple of hours later, during lunch, I was walking by the teachers' lounge to get to the lunch hall when I heard my speech being played. Being curious, I stopped and I heard them replay “I am gay myself actually” a couple of times over. Out of the corner, I could see my 6th-grade teacher give my computer studies teacher 10 dollars. Then suddenly, I sneezed really loudly; the teachers looked back and saw me standing there. My 6th-grade teacher has largely moved past it, but my computer studies teacher refuses to make eye contact with me.
