This weekend I worked at the theater and between shows I went down the street to get some lunch. Now as a writer and director I am always people watching. It was something several of my professors in college suggested I do to help in my story telling. So why I was waiting for my order I was looking at a mother and her little son. It was cold and he had said that he did not want to go out in to it again. So his mother took the pastel color scarf of here’s and put it around him, moments later the Grandmother came out of the bathroom and looked at her grandson and with an unhappy look. She turned and looked at her Daughter and said.
“I wish you would not put that on him he looks like a fag”
She then turned and looking at me said
“ I am sorry for my language”
I looked at here and replied
“That’s okay but I’m a fag and just so you know I wouldn’t be caught dead in that scarf”
Needless to say she stormed out of the restaurant and her daughter who looked ashamed of her mother quickly followed behind her. Now for me this kind of thing has never bothered me. There are lots of ignorant people in the world and if every stupid ass thing people said I got pissed at, I would need to make it my career. If nothing ells she was honest about how she feels.

What I hate is those that are all about loving the gays to your face and saying shit behind your back. One time I had a friend at work we did all kinds of things one night after a few drinks she slipped and said
“Will you know that’s how those kinds of guys are.”
“What kind?”
I said pretty sure I know where this was going.
“Fags”
She quickly sobered up and came up with a reason to go home. Things were never the same between us. Mostly because the next day we were back at work I went into her office and said if you going to call me or my people a fag at least have the balls to do it to my face. She did not know what to say she just looked at me with her mouth hanging open. Now this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened t me. As a gay man I encounter this kind of thing all the time. Especially because for some weird reason some people do not think I am gay at first. I find this funny because for me I have always felt that I scream homo. I just try and keep in mind that we take steps towards a better tomorrow every day.
