<human>: Last year in US Government, our teacher was talking about gay marriage and discussing the legal issues associated with it. He asked (rhetorically, as I soon realized) "What compelling reason is there to deny gays the right to marry? Why shouldn't they be allowed to?". Earlier he had tied the Westboro Baptist Church into the lesson. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to be the funny guy, so in the brief pause after he asked the question, I blurted out "because God hates fags". (Mind you, this was 12th grade, so profane language wasn't totally taboo; our teacher swore casually). I figured everyone would get the WBC reference and have a good laugh about it. Nope. No one laughed. I got a few weird looks and my teacher awkwardly tried to explain why that isn't a legitimate reason, as if it were my genuine opinion. I briefly and hopelessly tried to explain myself but I'm still not sure anyone got it. The teacher clumsily segued back into the lesson, which really wasn't intended to be interrupted at all, as I spent the rest of the class silently wanting to die.

Tonight instead of sleeping, my scumbag brain decided to rehash all the stupid shit I've done in my life. So let's hear yours.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Made WBC reference as joke, came off as obnoxious, bigoted asshole. In retrospect, it really was in bad taste and not as funny as I thought.
