It's your right not to participate.

I would make some changes in your article though for example where you say "it is their choice to be gay". Which is universally known isn't the choice. As its not your choice to be heterosexual. Also statement that US is the only country in the world where people can be who they want to be. It's simply untrue. If you lived or travel in many European countries people enjoy same life and rights as we do here.

Overall many of your other arguments just don't sound convincing because maybe due to your young age you just don't know many things (yet).

But I fully support your lack of desire to join in. When I was in high school I just hated any extracurricular activities and wanted to get my grades and get out. I always support my students who don't want to join into anything.

You really don't need to explain why you don't want to join. If other students keep harassing you about not joining in maybe you can complain to an adult so they leave you alone. It's bullying.

Publishing this article ( unless you revise many of your arguments) wouldn't portray you in favorable light. Good luck
