1. 100% of gay people everywhere experience "hate speech" and "verbal abuse" all the time.

It may or may not be directed *specifically* and personally at them. But they "experience" it all the time.

I experienced two separate incidences today taking a ride on a city bus in the Bronx just after the schools let out.

Something, something "faggot".

And something like "that's gay! That's gay!"

No. I wasn't directed at me specifically. But it was directed at me non-specifically.

I must live in a different world than everybody else.

I gotta get my car fixed soon so I can go back to pretending the world is a better, safer and more just place than it actually is.
