I have read a couple of threads today that made me write this about an event I was at 3 weeks ago. I went to a big gala event put on by our local Imperial Court the event was held at a hotel that is not right downtown and people from the LGBT community don't go there ever. I parked the car and walked through the parking lot and past the pub that's connected to the hotel. There were a bunch of guys and girls outside having a smoke that didn't approve of my Ice Queen look. My head piece on my head is 8 feet tall with my 8' sceptor with flashing lights as well. I had a pretty good time at the event and when the night was winding down I went to put my props back into the car and head back to the event. As I was doing this a couple came to get into their car too. They started pointing at me and hysterically laughing out loud. Then they were starting to drive away still carrying on looking right at me in the lit up parking lot and at the last second I screamed very loud F you. The brake lights came on suddenly and the car was stopped in its place as I stared at it wondering ok whats next. After a few seconds later the car drove away.
I know I shouldn't have done that and it doesn't help our cause and 2 wrongs don't make things right and nobody went away educated for the better..... I was just having a moment where I snapped back which happens to me from time to time. I usually try to always take the high road, educate, make folks see that I'm another tax paying, loyal citizen but I have my moments when I don't want to take it either.
Learning as I go.
