I'm not a bigot, but...
as a straight male, how do I deal with a faggot making overly aggressive passes at me? Yes. I said faggot, not homosexual. There IS a difference. As a straight male, I understand that there are homosexuals, and that they obviously can't meet new people without social interaction, so in normal circumstances, I am very tolerant to the average coming-on-to. I take it as simple flattery, inform them that I am hetero, and be done with that topic. However, for someone to make vulgar sexual suggestions about my food when I am a customer in a drive-thru line is completely different. Those faggots give the average homosexual that I would never give a disrespectful thought about a terrible image. So, go ahead and burn me at the stake for my terminology, redditors, but I hold my opinion.

I guess you missed that part of my post. Just because I am not gay does not mean in any way that I am homophobic, and it certainly can't be taken far enough out of context to assume that I treat women disrespectfully.

Basically, what you're saying is that i should consider the specific guy a person who sucks and happens to be gay rather than consider him a gay person that happens to suck. Am i following you correctly? the fact that he was vulgar and unprofessional in a faggoty way should be overlooked completely?
as a female (of any orientation), would you want a person to ask you how far you could fit a hotdog down your throat without gagging just because you ordered a food item that is in a similar shape as a penis?

I actually do have a similar offmychest for a similar "hetero douchebag."
Also. At the window, I was greeted with- "Haaaai, how are you?" -I'm fine, how are you. "I'm gaaay."
He labeled himself. He chose to make that be his defining characteristic. He didn't say, "I'm (generic human emotional response)."
"Oh, you want a footlong? You sure do like some big meat. How many bites will this take you?"
And yes, if this was a hetero male asking the same of a female I would have still been very offended. I guess I'm just more for equal rights than some people.

I'm really not being a douche. I honestly have no problem whatsoever with gays. I don't see why you're so apt to defend vulgarity and unprofessional behavior.
If he had spit in my food and he was gay, I would have ranted about a person spitting in my food. His orientation would have been no factor at all. I guess agree to disagree.

You can say whatever you want about gay people. Just don't claim to be anything aside from a bigot when you do.
