Sometimes I really forget just how ignorant and cruel people can be. Mostly because I surround myself with kind-hearted, understanding and accepting individuals. Have any of you ever been lashed out at for your sexuality? How have you responded to it? Someone drove by when my friend and I (female) were standing at the corner waiting to cross the street over the weekend and screamed, "fucking dykes" out the window (as well as some other lovely names). They drove back around the block and leaned on the horn.
I have never experienced anything like this first hand. My reaction was to say nothing. My friend's was to scream back. I think it's best to not engage, but then again, I also don't think I deserve to be insulted by anyone for who I am.
