Hey! I just want to say good luck starting your new school, and I’m glad it sounds like it’s going well for you so far aside from this part. 

As I’m still in school, closeted, and in a homophobic environment, I somewhat understand what you’re going through here, however, I don’t have any experience calling someone out on their homophobia.

First of all, if you are not comfortable outing yourself or feel uncomfortable with it for any reason, you are not required to call him out. There is a certain anxiety that in my experience closeted people tend to feel, that’s like “I’m not in a position to come out, and expressing support for anything that goes against the norm of society could get me outed.” That’s a valid feeling and worry. 

If you do decide to call him out on it yourself, you aren’t required to be polite about it. You can literally just tell him “Hey, as your Resident Token Bisexual, shut up!” in a really sarcastic voice. 

You could also talk to the others about it first when he’s not around. Maybe say to one of them “Hey, I’m bisexual, and the comments he makes about being gay make me feel uncomfortable. Have you guys ever said anything to him about it?” 

The downside though is that calling someone out often makes them put you into the position of the Educator. The expect you to educate them all about LGBT+ stuff and why something’s wrong, and if you decline people may act like “oh well if it mattered so much to you you’d tell me!”

It honestly comes down to how comfortable do you feel calling him out, do you want to come out or not (though coming out isn’t required to call someone out on their behavior), or just sort of dealing with it? 

This is honestly just some food for thought when making a decision. Followers, do you have any advice?
