Background: this area of town is known for being exceptionally "gay friendly" and it's also where the gay pride parade starts and ends. There's lots of gay bars and that sort of thing. This time of year we get a lot of tourists for the parade. The parade is fun to watch, but sometimes it really brings the SC's from all over the US.
Two ladies come in to the bookstore.
Lady 1: Do you have gay pride stickers?
Me: Sorry we don't.
Lady 1: *irritated sigh* What happened!??!?!?
Me:
...Sorry?
Lady 2: [area of town] used to be so gay friendly! I can't find gay pride stickers anywhere!!
Me: Uhh... (thinking: just cause we don't have stickers in a bookstore, you think we hate gay people?) Well, have you tried the GLBT center? It's on [street].
Lady 1: That's not even in [area of town]!!!! (note: yes it is) Oh my god, [area of town] has changed SOOOO much since I lived here 30 years ago. Where are all the gay pride flags?
Me: Usually the bars put them out at night when they open.
Lady 2: When we lived here [area of town] was so much better blah blah blah etc etc.
What I wanted to say but didn't: When you lived here I wasn't even born so just leave me the hell alone please! Bitch at somebody else who gives a f*ck!!
Ladies leave still bitching and moaning
Couple #2
Lady 1: Where is there a really good upscale restaurant that is owned by gay people around here?
Me: ...... (do I look like I can afford an upscale restaurant, much less know the owners?) Sorry I don't know.
Lady 1: ...
Lady 2: ...
Me: ... *awkward*
Lady 2: Why don't you know?
Me: ... I can recommend a restaurant but I don't know the sexual orientation of any of the owners.
Lady 1: This is absurd.
Lady 2: Well aren't you gay?
Me:
Sorry but that's really none of your business!
Ladies leave in a huff
I of course have nothing against gay people, or straight people, just bitches! It just goes to show how gay and lesbian EW's really are no different than their fellow straight EW's
