This happened yesterday while I was in WalMart.
- Male cashier with multiple tattoos (two of them are colored in with rainbow):
- How are you this evening?
- Me:
- Pretty good. Starving, obviously. How are you?
- Cashier:
- Not bad. I can't wait to get off my shift and get home to my boyfriend.
- Woman behind me:
- Wait, you're gay?
- Cashier:
- Yeah. . . ?
- Woman:
- That's a shame.
- Me:
- Why?
- Woman:
- He seemed like such a wonderful man, it's a shame he's gay.
- Cashier:
- Why is it a shame?
- Woman:
- It's wrong! It's immoral, it's dis-
- Me:
- Excuse me, but what's it to you if he's gay?
- Woman:
- It's offensive!
- Me:
- But how does it affect you?
- Woman:
- What?
- Me:
- Where exactly does it start to make sense that it affects you? A relationship is between 2 people, not 3.
- Woman:
- *sputters a bit, then leaves without her food*
- Cashier:
- . . . Wow, thank you.
- Me:
- Ignorant people are the reason I claim to be allergic to the human race.
