Stand Up!...or not.
While I was diligently handling the tasks of my job, behind me I hear conversations that I'd rather not hear. Because of my poor work privacy, I grit and bare.
Then it gets juicy. The nice young gentleman behind me decides he wants to talk about his experience with "gays". I'm thinking alrighty, who gives a fck. Maybe he'll shut up.
But why would he do that!
Read, read, read...type, type, type.
Then I hear, blah, blah, blah, the lesbians...
(Umm, alrighty again)
But then he goes on to talk about how he thinks that it's unnatural and that's for their maker to judge. And of course they got that way because some man hurt them so dearly. Oh and how it's their choice, so let God deal with it.
I can not for the life of me understand why people give two fcks about gay people and whether it's a yay or nay in "God's eyes". There are people killing people, raping, ruining the lives of others and people seem to always get stuck on what "the gays" are doing. WHY?
I'm sorry, when people get SO serious about "the gays", I start to think that you're fighting some type of unaddressed emotion about your own sexuality. I'm not being sarcastic either, I REALLY believe that is the case a large percentage of the time, men and women.
I digress.
As he got more and more vocal about how sinful being gay is, I got more and more annoyed. Because I am the first to say, "hey beotches of the world, it's your fcking opinion, enjoy".
But I will not tolerate that bullsht at work. (Especially, not for this lil' bit of coins, lol)
So I walks over to the man and woman and say hey, I'm "gay" and you're making me uncomfortable". They're like huh. So I repeat myself. They give me the strangest look and say I'm sorry and he walks aways from my area.
All and all, I just think that people should watch which group you want to discriminate against. Because at a moments notice it could be you. (And the lady he was talking to was Mexican, so I'm thinking btch you DEFINITELY should hush, cause ya'll on the "hate list" big time!)
Although neither was Black, not too long ago nigs was tellin us that we aint in da Bible and God aint on our side. And they had the nerve to make it law. Not too long ago, someone could call us niggers and monkeys and unnatural, and denied us rights and life...
Anyway, "You're making me uncomfortable" is the best I could come up with. Not all that, but I refused to NOT say anything. And I was waiting for someone to get gansta so the Black and the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) could come right up out of me, lol. I'm thinking this aint 1960, son. I'll have your azz and her azz in HR, so fckin fast!
UGH.
ON a more serious note, that sht made me sad, mad too, but sad and hurt. The fact that people feel so comfortable speaking that way. Cause I thought damn, this must be how it felt being Black amongst Whites before lawsuits and sht. It was degrading. I hope that I've never made anyone feel that way.
I think sometimes, how did I get here. I did not choose to be "gay".
I think how did I become apart of a group that everyone hates.
How did I become apart of a group that isn't afforded the same rights as everyone else.
People think that being gay is about ass sex and dildos. If only it were that simple.
It's hard and we struggle and we have to fight for sht that people don't think twice about.
Fck it, I don't even wanna talk about it anymore...
