How to control my anger?
I'm gay, and along with that, there's tons of other stuff I have to deal with. Today, in school, I was confronted by this kid who kept insisting that being gay is a choice. I kept telling him that he didn't know what he was talking about. He kept saying it over and over and I didn't know what to do. Is there a way to control my anger over these IGNORANT people?

Yes.
First, you must find an individual sport to do that you like. For instance, running is a sport that you can do alone. A triathlon is biking, swimming, and running. These are good sports to get out that aggression. Plus, you'll probably meet more intelligent people along the way. Look at Lance Armstrong!
Second. When someone at school harasses you, you have to look them in they eye and reverse the rant. "Being gay is a choice", you say, "then why are you gay?" Turn the question into a question every time. If you can't tell an administrator that you are being sexually harassed (because you are) then at least fight fire with fire.
Edit: There are many ways to deal with this kid. Just remember, you are not wrong in your life. If it bothers you because you are also a Christian, I can assure you that there is nothing against you in the Bible.
You could also ask him questions about things he has no way of answering. "So, what do you think of hermaphrodites?" "How, exactly, do you know that gays choose to be gay?" "What do bisexuals choose then, since you seem to know it all?"

Well you don't have to argue with people who are arguing for the sake of baiting you for their entertainment... that's for certain. as for choice... there are circumstances where your sexuality is a choice.. take me for instance.. as a polysexual I have nothing but choices to make... if I didnt have such good taste (ahem) everyone I meet would be a potential lover. Gay people say to me that I am in transition... straight people say that I must be gay and just use women as a cover... fact is... none of that is true. My genitals let me know who I am attracted to and that's all there is to it.
I accept that when you sit on level 6 of the Kinsey scale, you are not there by choice.. it's just who you are. How you identify your sexuality is a choice... but your sexuality is what it is... there's no need to argue about that with anyone.

Yes bring a magazine and read it. These ignorant people will always be here, you just have to deal with it. it sucks, i know i heard the word "f'ag", and the phrase "that's gay", "you're so gay" countless times today. Its really tiring, i wish people weren't so ignorant, but that's just wishful thinking.

Those people don't deserve your anger... Keep your time for people who actually deserve it :)
He's just, like you said, ignorant... Maybe he did it on purpose to annoy you ? Which isn't very mature...
Anyways... just act like you don't ******* care about what he thinks, and I promise this will annoy him a lot more than anything you could say !

All you can do is ignore them. Or go up to them and just tell him that his just wasting his time because no matter what he does its NOT gonna affect you in anyway possible. Thats all I got sorry =]
