Mr. Homophobe Fell In Love With A Guy

Hello! I'm currently rewriting this story so I might unpublish this version soon. Pleaseeee check out my new account theclariverse Thank youuu!

"Every person should have the right to marry the one he or she likes. Let's not define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Rather, it should be a union between two persons who love each other in spite of sexual identity. "

"You said it yourself, marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman. Why suddenly revise it? Legalizing same sex marriage confuses the children and the society. It shouldn't be allowed as it reverses the roles in family life. "

I calmly stated as I try so hard to maintain my cool and elegance, and stop the urge to frown in disgust.

It's so disgusting.

Their opinions. Their beliefs. Even they, themselves.

Umiinit na ang debate namin sa classroom tungkol sa "Same Sex Marriage". Nahati ang klase sa dalawang grupo. Nasa kanan ang for at nasa kaliwa naman ang against.

Actually, I don't understand why some people are so adamant about their crooked beliefs. Aren't they too fool for their own good?

The other side seems to be hesitating—opening their mouths, only to close them again a second after. Iyong tipong may gustong sabihin pero hindi nila masabi. Or maybe, they'd really ran out of things to say?

Serves them right.

"Don't you have any respect?! Homophobic ka lang kasing gago ka!"

Napatingin ang lahat sa pinanggalingan ng boses. Its a girl classmate from the for group.

So, what now? Their side couldn't win the argument so they're suddenly retorting to personal attacks?

"Ooooohhhhh," panggagatong ng ibang kaklase namin.

"Class! Language! Get back to the topic!" galit na saway ni Ma'am habang ginagamit na pamalo iyong aklat sa mesa niya kaya nagsitigil at kumalma na ang lahat.

Homophobic, huh?

Well if that's what they call us, then okay. I am a homophobe.

Nakakatawa lang na palagi nilang ginagamit ang salitang 'respeto' laban sa akin. Diyan sila magaling, ang ipagpilitang i-respeto ang sa tingin nila ay karapat-dapat na i-respeto, otherwise I'm the bad guy. That always happens.

But they never thought about respecting my choice of who to respect or not.

About the groupings, random lang ang pagkakagrupo sa amin. Mabuti na nga lang at hindi ako napabilang sa kanila dahil baka masaksihan pa nila ang kakampi na kumakampi sa kaaway. That won't be good, right?

Mapapansing ang ibang estudyante sa for group ay hindi sumasali sa argument, gano'n din sa grupo namin. Maybe, their opinions don't match with their group, or they just don't care at all. Either way, it's none of my business. We will be graded individually, and it is based on debating skills not on personal opinions.

Pero iba iyong babae kanina. From the start, she didn't say a single word but it doesn't mean she's indifferent to what's happening. From the very first moment I conveyed my argument, all I felt was a harsh and sharp glare from her.

Unfortunately, we're not in a university novel wherein the protagonist would fall for the only girl who stands up against him. If this is a novel, then I am the protagonist and all the others are just dumb extras.
