Poor ol’ Jesus. I picture him up there in heaven, sitting on a cloud, with a harp by his side, looking down at all of us…and thinking: “WTF? They said I hate dykes? Dykes? Who the hell cares if two chicks wanna get it on? Where do these people _get_ this shit from? Jesus H. Fucking Christ on a pogo stick! You wanna hate dykes? Fine. Hate dykes. Just leave me out of it, m’kay?” ---

I think Jesus would say, “Me on a fucking pogo stick!” Unless you have some evidence that he talks like Bob Dole. Hey, do you suppose Jesus watches Britney Spears shake her thang in Pepsi commercials? ---

This is not as catchy a slogan as the ones for God’s and Jesus’s little pet peeves, though. ---

> [@Liberal](#): > > I meant the norm for homophobia. More often than not, it’s in the form of cowardly drive-bys and infantile snickers, rather than outright assaults. But the Christian angle of it made me think of my neighbor, and that recent late afternoon. Actually, I sort of wondered, when reading your story, whether they were Christian at all, but instead just punks pulling a double whammy — gay bashing and Jesus cursing. Ah, that makes sense. While the double-whammy punks theory is theoretically possible, I highly doubt it: the rage in her face, the bitterly hateful triumphalism, didn’t reflect anything the least bit playful. Daniel ---

One of my favorite tales along these lines is from a friend-of-a-friend who was seen a few years ago walking hand-in-hand with a much younger man in downtown Montgomery, AL. (The f.o.f. was 50ish, the younger man in his 20s.) Some rednecks yelled some epithets, circled the block, and got out to confront him. They felt like dumbasses when he reached into his man-purse and pulled out a folding cane and they realized he was blind and the younger man was his son. They apologized profusely, especially when they learned he had lost his eyesight as the result of an injury in Vietnam. One of them said something to the effect of “Oh sorry man, we didn’t know… it didn’t look like he was escortin’ you… we thought you was a fag…” When he was a few feet away he called back “I am.” (He was, though he had a son from a brief hetero marriage.) They laughed… then were wondering “was he serious”… then just went home confused. Personally I think God Hates Idiots. ---

I’ve been mistaken for a woman once, with my hair down and from behind, but it was a person looking for a particular acquaintance who was almost my size. Even with my hair down, at 6’1" and 215 with a beard, they’d have to be driving pretty fast to think me a woman. Now, given that I wear many earrings and often a kilt, I’ve gotten my share of interesting looks and the very occasional “fag!” But most of the time, my steeltoes and Duke basketball tee tend to just give the good ol’ boys a bad case of cognitive dissonance. It’s even worse for the poor guys when I’m roofing, framing, or up to my elbows in engine. ---

I have a dear friend who currently lives in Asheville and is The Most Dangerous Lesbian In The World. If you ever see a short, beefy woman around there with a healthy moustache and a big fish tattooed on her scalp you’ll know who I mean. I’ve seen her scare off whole gangs of Texas frat boys by saying, “You’re not from around here, are you?” It saddens me to think that if those “Christians” ever pick on her I won’t be around to see what happens. ---

> [@featherlou](#): > > 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. Sadly, that sums up my in-laws’ religious philosophy pretty well. ---
