Well, I guess this florist doesn't need Paula's business very badly. I wouldn't darken their door again.
A wonderful place!
All I ever wanted was to be a girl. Is that really asking too much?
I experienced MUCH more homophobia when everybody thought I was gay because I was so feminine (despite my best attempts to hide it). I never really "passed" as a boy, and am often surprised that I pass so well as a woman.
When I transitioned, about the only time people raise an eyebrow is when I tell them I've been married to my wife for 9 years. The US didn't have gay marriage in 2006 - anywhere. They ask if I got married in Canada, so I finally have to explain that I was her husband when I got married. That gets a bit of a fish face. Then I tell them I'm in my late 50s and have 2 grand-children and that's a bigger shock. Most people think I'm in my mid 40s.

Usually, my mentioning my wife just garners a pregnant pause. I never mention that we were husband and wife when we married. That's like explaining physics to a cat.

So sorry to hear that Paula. Such a stupid conclusion to jump to in the first place. I expect more from Canada than from The States.
Cats will pretend to listen if you dangle a treat in front of them.
I'm neither gay or religious. So, I just roll my eyes when my best friend of fifty+ years goes off on a proselytising anti-gay rant. When he comes out to visit, I think Carla will pick him up at the airport.
Anyway, rudeness finds it's way into everything so I wouldn't worry about the flower shop lady. I got a venomous FU look from a receipt checker lady at Costco as she verified that the 6 pack of bikini panties in my hand matched the receipt. I was tempted to say, "Your husband likes me in panties at the motel." but, I just let her marinade in her personal hate.
I've waited so long for this time. Makeup is so frustrating. Shaking hands and I look so old. This was a mistake.
My new maid's outfit is cute. Sure fits tight.
And then I step into the bedroom and in the mirror, I see a beautiful woman looking back at me.
Smile, Honey! You look fabulous!
I've don't go out dressed so never had anything like that happen to me. I wouldn't dare go out dressed around here. The governor here in Kansas just revoked the previous governor's protection for employment rights for anyone the LGBT community in terms of state employment. That's how homophobic and backward this state is.
