In reply to the discussion: What was High School like for you. [View all]LeftinOH
(5,353 posts)27. 1979-1983. There were no gay kids high school, but lots of "faggots";
in fact, to listen to the typical lunchroom/gymnasium/library/hallway/homeroom chatter, at least 50% of the school were "faggots". I developed furious hatred for that word early on, and I have NOT forgotten those who used it -to me or to anyone else.
And, FWIW, there *were* gay kids, but they were completely mute on the subject, and they comprised only a small percentage of the above-mentioned group.
