Oh. My. God.

*is physically ill*

I'm so sorry you have people like that on your side. *consolation*

Thanks. I emailed her back. It seemed to be the only way to put it behind me. I'm kinda curious if she's gonna respond, and how. Also kinda curious how she missed that I'm gay.

Dude. Is it, like, wrong that I started laughing hysterically? [It think it might have been an inappropriate response to the shock and horror factor.]

It just seems bigger than life... Distorted and cartoonish... to say things like that. To think things like that. I guess that kind of email is just so outside of my range of thought. I can't deal with someone like that on any kind of equal level.

That kind of stuff bursts my happy little bubble - in which everyone I know, and the society that currently surrounds me in general, see my sexuality as a non-issue. And I don't like that.

Grrr... I hate feeling like I'm under attack every second of every day by people who have never even seen me. And for reasons beyond my control.

Makes me thing of Yossarian - WWII American bomber - in Catch 22, who is going insane because thousands of people he hasn't even met are trying to kill him.

I think that's a fairly normal reaction. I did a bit of that myself before the realisation that she was serious sank in.

I wasn't used to this before I came online, either. 'Gay' and 'faggot' aren't really much-used insults in Dutch; at least not among my family and friends. It's an attitude that makes me want to throttle something. Preferably the parents of the person holdin that attitude. because they obviously did a shitty job.

Fuckers.
