What do you do when you get harrased for being LGBT?

[lauj]

I've been harassed a few times for being gay and all I ever did was walk away pissed off (except that part about me hitting a chick) I'm not good with words so I can't make any witty comments on the spot. I feel like a prick for doing this but I knocked out a female once for talking about me. We were both drunk, she came to the party drunk and no one didn't really know who she was. She didn't look 16 at all but she threw off my hat and told me I wasn't going to do anything because I'm a fag. My buddy pushed her off my twice and the third time she did it I hit her. She fell down and I jumped on her and continued to hit her. I broke her jaw, cheek bone, nose and gave her a black eye. I still feel bad today and I apologized to her in court in front of everyone but she didn't say a thing to me. And surprisingly I won the case but I wouldn't have done this if I wasn't drunk. I had a chick in my class ask me 5 times if I liked P****. Than she glared at me and walked away like she was miss pretty. My teacher didn't do anything, no one did until I got mad and left the class and that's when every tries to be your best friend and tell you what she did was wrong. No one never said anything back to that lady. Another time a friend and I were at Applebees, 4 females heard our conversation, and told us to leave. They looked at us like we were sick, like their was something wrong with us. All my buddy asked me was what kind of guys I was into. We left without a word, ever since that happened I've never gone back to that place. So I would like to hear some stories of other people who've gone through this and what they did. It would be nice to learn from each other.
