Sadly, queer people all over the world are bullied at school because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. But what is the right thing to do if your teenage bully later comes out as bisexual? That was exactly the situation that one Reddit user found himself in recently. The 27-year-old gay man asked Reddit users if he was the a**hole in the situation when his old school bully came out as bisexual and he used it as an opportunity to call him out for his homophobic bullying. In the Reddit post, the man explains that the bully who he only refers to as B bullied him at school because he was effeminate. B and his friends tormented me verbally so much I developed extreme anxiety whenever I was in their proximity, he wrote. They called me every name in the book: ****, ***** male, Ugly Betty (because I was overweight and pimply back in high school). He continued: Long story short, B and his friend were one of the main reasons I absolutely, positively detested high school. A decade on, he was shocked when he logged onto Facebook to see that his old school bully had shared a lengthy post where he came out as bisexual. I wrote something along the lines of, Thats such a cute and manipulative post B, shame you didnt consider any of this stuff when you bullied me in high school for the exact same things youre now embracing. Not saying people cant change, but since B explicitly said in his post that he knew he was into boys since kindergarten, IMO that makes the fact that he tormented me in high school just for appearing gay even worse.

B was getting plenty of comments from people praising him for coming out which aggravated the Reddit user. He called his old bully out for his manipulative post but the internet is divided on his actions. Im so tired of everyone defending a bad person just because they come out as part of the LGBTQ+ community, they wrote. He was projecting his own insecurities into bullying you and now people are defending him because he came out. However, another user pointed out that nobody knows what the bully has been through since school. While [the original poster] is entitled to be upset with his bully, and doesnt have to forgive him or anything like that, it was shitty to attack him in a public setting while he was coming out.


tl:dr- Guy gets bullied for being gay in HS. Bully comes out as bi 10 years later on FB. Bully gets praised for coming out. Guy reminded people on FB how the dude bullied him and gets attacked for not being nice to him as he was coming out.
