My best friend and I spent the day at the parade (yes, it was amazing!!) and we had an excellent time, sadly we had to cut our time short and head home early. IN DOWNTOWN where there are still many people who hadn't made their way to the Seattle Center were around and about the area. So we are walking and low and behold we are told to take our gay rags off our heads followed by calling us bitches. I was amazed. We were wearing MACY's Pride + Joy Bandanas. As it stands I am perfectly comfortable with my sexuality, gay, straight or other wise. However my feelings were hurt that in the city of Seattle on PRIDE we were victims of discrimination. 

I understand that there is a HUGE problem nationwide with hate crimes against GLBT (in fact in high school witnessed first hand how evil it can be), however, I never did any research and read any of the many of hate sites, its very depressing to think about. Well today, I learned. I started with the cream of hate monger crop with Fred Phelps. OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS? So I watched some "God hates Fags" video  (and another I can't remember the name) and almost shat myself. 

In a local area in some southern extremist town (which was obviously a small one) there is a park called GAGE park. These few people were talking about how the queers go into the overgrown area of park and hump. This is followed by a news feed of an under cover reporter catching a homosexual male soliciting sex (scandalous!!!). They go on and on how the men are soliciting sex from young children and running after them (I am rolling my eyes-fyi). This is all followed up by a tour through the woods where reportedly they pulled mattresses out of the woody area. The man points out an older wooden picnic table that had over grown shrubs all over it and he comments on the the table being unable for family use but obvious for 'their' use. THE DAMN TABLE WAS UNDISTURBED! I don't know many self respecting people that would fuck on that table! 

I am not making the argument that all gay people are perfect and don't do things that are "morally" wrong (prostitution and violence) just like straight people they too have their fair share of rapist, prostitutes and violent people- because like straight people they are PEOPLE and PEOPLE are not perfect. None the less these fucking morons in this town act like the homosexuals appeared out of no where and attacked their town. Are they seriously missing the obvious,  these fags are the their friends, their neighbors, their employers, their sons, AND their daughters!! 

I cannot believe that people are that ignorant! Anyways I had to vent. I am fucking fed up with this bullshit. Since when is walking through downtown seattle on pride (or any other fucking day for that matter) worth the head ache of being bitched at by some ignorant little kid who is trying to act hard in front of her homies!!
