I'm not really sure why I'm posting this, perhaps it is because even after making a vlog, I am still kind of stunned, saddened and hurt this even happened.
Today I had a woman compare homosexuality to being a child predator and calling homosexuals "abusers." She said this directly to me. Yet she also said she loves everyone.
I'm just disgusted. I've been so lucky in the sense I've never TRULY had a serious homophobic moment, so maybe that's why I'm just stunned. Maybe I shouldn't be as upset as I am, maybe I should just let it go. I can't. People suck.
Here is my video if anyone wants to see it.
My video.

Is it a video of the moment?
Thanks, but I don't want to see it. . .

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I hope you took the high road.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Sorry you had to be subjected to someone's ignorance n2nbaby.

Making that assumption of you because of your sexual orientation would be like you making the assumption that because she's straight and likes men, she must also like the minor version of men too. It's total ignorance on her part and when it's turned back on her like that, there's no way she can argue back.

Luckily I can say it's only happened to me once at the Time Warner building in Columbus Circle. I met up with a guy I was seeing and we kissed each other hello and a woman walked up to us and told us we were evil and stuff like that.
And if you think I don't take people's sh*t HERE, you should have seen me in action at that moment. Because the police were called and everything. I made a SCENE.
