So, there's been a recent rash of hate crimes against homosexuals around here. And by "rash" I mean a group of rednecks driving around gay neighborhoods and beating the hell out of any man holding hands with another man. 3 so far. Pretty much the same group.
So, there is a movement to wear something pink today as a show of solidarity to the gay community. Show that we're not all greasy rednecks who just want to punch things. Nice thought.
The problem is, today is flag day. So the masters of comedy who support a Murican's right to violently anything they don't understand are running about calling today "Fag Day".
Old people who turn a simple offsite meeting into a "Pot-luck" social event. Our entire department was going to go to a park for 2 hours to discuss things and eat some Barbecue. But now all the old hags got ahold of it and everyone has to bring a dish and it has extended to 4 hours.
All it's done is ruin my Friday night. because after 4 hours of smiling and forcing dried out mac and cheese down my throat and throwing bean bags at boards, I will still have work to do. So while they are all going home with their crock pots secure in the knowledge that their meatball recipe was a success, I have to go back to the office with a 4 hour black hole in my day to catch up from.
My dish: Iced tea.

I can't...I can't handle it. I'm a conservative, sure, doesn't mean I don't love that group of people. I wish I could just talk to these people and ask them why exactly they hate them. If they say it's "wrong", I'll say so is beating someone up. Gah...yeah, I'm sure Jesus would go around beating up the gay population. That's DEFINITELY how he rolled.
I had a gay co-worker and we had a vendor in one day and had lunch with him. There was something on the TV about gays in the Military and the vendor guy said they shouldn't be in there at all (clearly hadn't guessed about my co-worker). My buddy asked him why and he eventually came up with he didn't want to be showering with gay guys.
Co-worker was like "Well, there's your problem. The sooner you realize no gay man would ever want you, the happier you'll be."
Then the guy got offended. That was a good day.
It's not like every straight man is running around town, pinning down women left and right and grabbing titties. Why would a gay man automatically be a rapist?
