How to deal with homophobic roommates?

[hamsandwizh]

I'll try and keep this short, anyways, I moved into this big house with a lot of people living in it back early Sept. I didn't get to check it out before hand, I just needed a place. So anyways, I moved in, a week or so into it they found out I was gay, don't remember how it came up but it wasn't something I was hiding anyways.

Since then, about two months, they have been giving me crap litterally every single day over it. If I'm texting, on the phone, or on my computer they say I am "fagging out" and when I want to wawtch The A list Dallas which, I don't think is a very good show but I'm addicted to it anywys, lol, they give me A LOT of crap for it, before the show starts they say "NO, we're not watching that gay ass shit!" and while it's on, if I happen to get to turn it on, I hear remarks the entire time about how it's just wrong to be gay, how they don't understand it (which evidently gives them the OK to hate it, because they don't understand it?) and anyways, I hear remarks every single day about me being gay and how it's wrong, nasty, etc. I can't even bring a guy over to my own place, nor do I want to when this is going on all the time! Once and a while they'll even start making remarks about gay bashing me one of these nights.

So how do you recommend I deal with it? Unfortunately I'm stuck here for another month. Should I just try and ignore it like i have been doing? Which hasn't stopped it, if anything it's increased it and truth is I've reached my limit, I don't think I can take even a few more days of it let alone another month! Should I be aggressive about it and yell back? Should I do what they do to me except in reverse, so when they give me crap for talking to a guy or watching a show they consider gay should I do that to them? When they talk about hooking up with a chick, which they ALWAYS talk about, should I tell them how i don't want to listen to that crap, etc.?

What do you recommend because it's at the point where I absolutely HATE being home and once and a while i seriously do get a bit scared when they talk about how they're going to gay bash me and the "good old days" when they should shoot "faggots" with a BB gun during a gay pride parade or when some of them use to go beat up queers on there way home from a bar, steal there stuff and sell it online. That's when I start to get a little scared and no one should have to live in a place where they don't feel safe. It's not cool.
