    Usually, nothing. Actually, I usually don't get called anything at all. I stay out of everyone's business, I don't dress or act or speak unusually effeminate, so no one really says anything rude to me.

    The few times I do get called something related to sexuality, I generally ignore it.

    I usually ignore it. When people do stuff like that usually ends up biting them in the butt in the end. I remember one time in middle school there was this girl who was really mean to me all the time and she ended up breaking her leg and had to use the school elevator to get around. But that isn't even the funniest part one day one of mentally disabled kids used the elevator and accidentally peed in it and it wasn't cleaned up yet and when that girl was getting out of the elevator she slipped and landed in the puddle and it went all over her. Yay karma!

    I usually look at myself and respond, "But I don't look like a bundle of sticks used to burn a person."

    Then they get the darkness behind it and ta da! Guilt.

    Lmao at Steveo.
    That's hilarious!

    I wish I was there to see it.

    I would have laughed in her face.

    I don't do anything; I ignore them. I figure that their punishment for being ignorant morons is being ignorant morons and they'll never get be friends with all the awesme LGBT people I know....Plus, they never get to wear rainbows

    But, yeah. I'm fairly non-confrontational, and so I usually ignore them

    That's never happened to me, but if it did, I'd probably give the person a long, nasty leer.

    I think I have piercing eyes that can make people uncomfortable.

    I don't think anybody has ever said that to me(people don't usually try to insult me), but I would probably just roll my eyes or ignore it, depending on who it was.

    Brush it off and ignore it. That's all you really can do. Fighting them will only fuel them, and that's the last thing you want.

    I've only been called a dyke a couple of times, and depending on where I am, I either ignore them, or smile and say "Yep!" (Not on public transport or any other situation that could get really nasty. Only ever at school.)

    Yup I do the same when being called a fag a lot now.
    I don't really mind when my friends do it in joke but when random people start yelling out that you're a fag it pisses me off. :dry:

    Usually nothing but I don't get called that anymore. I mainly did in high school -- not in college.

    I never ignore those comments and I usualy have two ways of dealing with this, either I go 'Yep, here I am :grin: *puts arms in the air*' or I insult them back which always leads me to trouble. There no point in reasoning with these people so I use the same kind of insults, it's often a bad idea but I have to stand up for myself, they are not better than me and I'm def not afraid of them.
    Ignoring them is the best solution but I simply can't ignore it when someone insults me.

    Well the only person who has ever called me a Fag was a friend of mine who was doing it as a joke and I threatened to throw my empty bottle of Jones Soda at his head. Of course that isn't the same thing. To be honest I'm not sure what I would do if someone did.

    I only got called a dyke once, and that was at a time where I didn't know what a dyke was, I didn't know anything about sexuality, and I didn't know how to react.

    If I were called something now, I would smile and either respond with "dikkity-dykity-doo" or "figgity-faggity-foo" and skip along. ♥
