   I managed to go almost the whole weekend without any open displays of homophobia. It's like a new record for the start of pride. Usually it's bright and early Saturday morning.

   Apparently that the cafe by me has a small rainbow flag and acknowledges pride week is an egregious burden that oppresses all the straight people. So that's cool.

   And apparently instead of being gay I just need the loving embrace of Jesus but no not in _that_ way, that's sacrilegious.

      This is the weird flip-side of pride. It's the one time of the year when homophobes feel the need to over-compensate and pointedly tell all the gay people they see that they don't belong and don't deserve to be happy.

      In a way it is a nice reminder that, while we may pretend otherwise the rest of the year, the bigots are still here.
