I have recently observed microaggression by one of my guy friends who was being ignorant and was making wise cracks about me liking girls. He was saying "who wears the pants" and "you guys have your own president, right?' Things like this just shows how unaware our country is about people who like the same gender. No one is the same, no matter what they look like or who they like. I felt embarrassed for him and for myself because he said this in front of all my friends and I dont like having attention brought on me because of who I like. I also felt anger too because there was no need to talk about who I like and say dumb things like that.
This put a perspective on being prejudice to me because now I know how people of different race feel. I now understand why the African American people get all fired up about having rights and not being judged. I now understand that it doesnt feel good to be put down for what you look like or who you like. Everyone deserves an equal oppurtunity in life and shouldnt be judged on their own personal looks or gender that they like.
