he's in one of my college classes, and he's gay. Like, really, really gay. I don't have a problem with it, except, well....he's kind of taken the whole "out and proud" thing to a whole new level. Every time the professor says something that could remotely be tied into gayness or homosexuality, this guy pipes up with "oh no, boyfriend!" or something like that.
Example: The professor is explaining to us why certain things have suffixes attached to them. He tells us that some end in "ahol" some in "amin" and some in "anal". When he writes the word "anal" on the board, the gay guy can't wait to crack up in giggles and yell out "I LIKE that one...anal. Do you like anal sir?"
The professor just grits his teeth and carries on, but this kind of stuff is REALLY starting to get to me. I don't care so much that it's gay-centric...I'm just tired of this guy derailing the class with his inappropriate outbursts. Problem is, I think if I ask someone to tell him to dial it down, I'm going to get targeted as a homophobe or gay basher.
What the hell do I do? Do I just follow the professor's lead and grit my teeth and endure this guy? I'm not the only one who doesn't like this stuff either. A couple of the other students audibly groan at each of his little outbursts, too, but they don't say anything to him.

Talk to your Prof. and express your concerns and if you know some of the others who are having the same problem, ask them to do it as well. They usually have a course of action for student complaints on others. It may just be grin and beat it though.

Make it known that gay, straight or bi, an attention whore is an attention whore.

I kinda know how you feel, I had this guy in my Economics class last semester and he just wouldn't shut up. He always interrupted the prof and he'd say the dumbest thing ever. I remember a few of us calmly talked to him about how he's making it hard for the rest of us and he toned it down for the rest of the semester. So, if you can get a few of your classmates and have a talk with the guy, I'm sure he would understand.

I'd probably be screaming "SHUT THE f*** UP!".
You seem more rational, maybe. I dunno.
Some people just need to be told to shut the f*** up.

Yes, if talking to your professor doesn't help, consider bringing in a bunch of ROH arena marks.

Tell him what you have to tell him. He will probably call you/think you're a homophobe but who gives a f***?
You know you aren't.
I am 100% against treating someone different due to race,religion,sexual orientation etc..and this includes excusing behavior I wouldn't in someone else. And if they think I'm a racist/homophobe for holding them to the same standards....screw em.

I think its probably best you tell him how you feel, tell him he's distracting you from your work.
Plus your at College not at kindergarten, time for messing about in class is over. If he uses the homophobic card then just tell him to grow up or something.

Been said, but dude is an attention whore, big time. It's not about him expressing himself, or being "out", it's about him wanting to be the center of attention since he feels he lacks hat attention in other aspects of his life.
My guess, psychologically, dude came out of the closet and got flack from someone close to him like family or something. He felt rejected and is now looking for approval or recognition any way he can, be it postive or negative attention. It's about "look at me" not about who he's attracted to.
The prof has the right idea, in that, if dude gets no attention, he will stop eventually since his "need" is not being fed. If someone screams "shut the f*** up" he not only gets attention, but gets to also play the "victim" card in his own mind, thereby justifying himself and giving reason to seek attention from others who will be willing to listen to a sob story of him being picked on.

The guy should be shouted at very loudly by the professor for making a comment like that in class.

Only talk about stereotypical "straight" things like mustaches and biker bars and leather chaps.

A douche is a douche regardless of who they wanna sleep with. Tell that guy to shut the f*** up. But he's not a douche. A douche comes into contact with female genitalia. ......I'll see myself out.

Personally, I'd find that amusing...... for about six minutes of the very first class he did it in. There's people that desperately need to shut up of every race/make/sexual orientation/what have you. He sounds to be one.
