Small trigger warning for self harm. I wear rubber bands around my wrists to snap when I feel the need to self harm. That way I can feel pain without actually injuring myself. One of the guests at my birthday party today asked me if I wear the rubber bands so I can snap them whenever I think straight thoughts. I didn't think he was the kind of guy who would say something that callous, so after I went home I sent him a facebook message to explain it. His response was "Oh, so I was right?" He then tried to explain why the joke was funny. Some people are so awful.
I don't think you should class him as a "friend". A "friend" is someone who is supportive, loving and caring regardless of who you are . What a vile human being..
Ask him if he was trying to get you mad because he was thinking gay thoughts. But...yeah. Some people are so insensitive. :/
