In Need of A Little Comfort/Reassurance

Today something incredibly scary happened in my World History class (at least, it was scary to me).

Somehow we got to talking about the singer Elton John (don't ask, we always go off subject) and suddenly, a boy in my class decided to pipe up "I think any man that likes kissing other men should be shot." He wasn't joking, he was completely serious. Not only does this shake me up, but I know for a fact this boy is a very angry and violent person. He began a fist fight with me in sixth grade over me touching his trombone and telling him to stop degrading me. (So, it basically went from a bit of verbal bashing to physical bashing)

He also gets teased a lot himself, so I'm afraid he might go off someday. I'm probably being paranoid, but it really shook me up.
