Today someone screamed a slur at me in public for the third time. The 2 times before, they were just driving past, and I thought it was funny in a pathetic way. Today someone else walking in the middle of town screamed Fag at me. He had like a 13 year old kid with him. It felt so much worse than the other times.

    You must be doing something right, then

    The next step is to give zero fucks (can be tricky, easier if you have supportive friends)

    I feel bad for the kid because that should feel awkward and embarrassing.

    Anyways, hi fellow fag! Did you have a faggy day today? Because I sure did; I spent the whole day being a massive fag, from sunup to sundown; even longer if you can believe it. Now I’m gonna have myself a little fag sleep and do the whole fagging thing again tomorrow! God I love being a fag. I really should get it on a tshirt.

    The first two times it was funny because bigots are just that pathetic. The third time felt awful because there’s an innocent child being raised by someone with heart full of hate. Hopefully that kid turns out okay and finds a good therapist to help unpack what a piece of work their father is.

    Dude is probably closeted and jealous that you get to be yourself while he’s still pretending to be straight

    My condolences, nobody deserves that. I worry about how that kid will grow up, being around such awful people like that. It may be a poor consolation, but I want to remind you that you aren’t alone.

    don’t feel bad for their inability to love, for their stupidity

    don’t try to undermine the power of stupidity either

    try to find playful replies to pull the rug from under their intolerant feet
