Living life in an oppressionist society

Okay so it's an odd title.

However in my life things are anti. At the school I currently attend, which is male only, it is a commonly known 'fact' that there are no gay guys.
This was odd for me to hear as I am about 85% gay ;).

So how can it be the there are no gay guys yet there is at least me and maybe another 3 guys I know of that currently attend who are like me or completely gay..
Then it made sense. The Headmaster is afraid.

It all suddenly made sense. The whole time at school every time the arts council tried to do something it was shut down but rugby was always on the table. Every time a LGBT awareness type group tried to grow it failed due to ' impossible circumstances'.

A friend of mine who left the school this year was discussing the possibility of trying to start the awareness group for young gays again, the answer from the principal was 'there are no gay people at our school' :O

So my goal for next year is to be a huge supporter of things that promote equal rights for everybody. However if I have forces like that to recon with, I have a big fight on my hands.. which I must win.
