My wife and I decided last night to walk down the road to a local pub for dinner: it was a beautiful early-summer evening, and our pantry was just about empty.
We held hands as we normally do when we go for a walk, and talked about our days. Perfectly domestic, comfortable, wonderful.
An SUV* drove past, with people yelling from it, and slowly we realized that they were yelling at us, words like “Hell” and “fucking.” Once I realized that we were the targets, I turned around, and as the SUV drove past, a woman with mirrored sunglasses leaned out of the driver’s window, face twisted into rage, and shouted, “Jesus hates dykes!” at us.
Granted, I have long hair and am clean-shaven; granted she’s hardly the first person ever to make that mistake. I was stunned, then burst out laughing, and couldn’t stop for a minute or two.
But holy shit. What a hateful bitch.
It’s rare that I realize, viscerally, what bigotry there is surrounding me on a daily basis. I got it easy; I don’t have to deal with her ilk on a regular basis. My sympathy to those who do.
So: fuck you, Jesus Hates Dykes lady.
Daniel
Here to help you imagine the scene, not as a slight on SUV drivers.
Jesus is quite a hateful person, true. However, he doesn’t hate fags. He hates figs
Also, these people are craaaaaazy. On one hand, I am sorry you had to go through that. On the other hand, now you know what that feels like for teh gheys. (Not that you aren’t already sympathetic) I kinda’ wish this would happen to het. republican couples.
Yes, Jesus hates any instrument that holds water back from its natural course.
That’s why the little boy who stuck his finger in a dyke was beaten down for his arrogant heathen protection of a crime against nature by a roving band of the Zealous Christian Daughters of the NOW.
That’s just so…random. Jesus hates dykes? Are they implying that they are Christians, and they are speaking for Jesus? If they are Christians, do they honestly believe that Christ’s message was “Hate everyone not like you”? Weird, weird, weird.
Jesus is a guy. Like all guys, he LOVES dykes. He just has rather unrealistic ideas about the amount of time they spent having lingerie pillow fights and threesomes with pizza boys.
