| I definitely look forward to that kind of thing.
Maybe you or someone else could clue me in on this:
When there are a group of people like that in a public place--what REALLY IS the likeliness of a beat-up scene, like in the parking lot or something, if I was to defend myself verbally if comments were made to me? How about if they weren't necessarily to me, but they're saying it loud enough for an entire establishment to hear it, and I was sick of hearing it and said something in retort?
If they ARE in a gang, which there's really no way of telling the difference between people in a gang and people who just glorify the gangster lifestyle, how likely are they to do something awful over something like this? Most people I know take the route of "just ignore them and they won't hurt you".
When I was in Portland, I knew a LOT of flamboyantly gay very feminine gay people, and I knew SEVERAL who were violently mugged by people who one would describe as "gangish"--the whole gangster garb and mannerisms thing--violent to where my friends ended up in the hospital. How common is this? Should I expect this sort of thing out of everyone that carries themselves that way who like using the word "faggot" a lot?
Is there a reasonable time to worry? Or should I not even worry about it because generally I'm usually the last person people guess would be gay? |
