triticale - the wheat / rye guy

Duh, Indeed

Andrew Sullivan has shared his favorite piece of hate mail for the week. He mentions with amusement the guys who hang out on his block and sometimes yell "faggot" when he walks by.

Those guys are almost as funny as the baseball jocks who used to hang out outside my dorm room yelling "faggot" and making moaning and kissing noises. They were so sure I was gay that they even concluded that the buxom high school girl who spent a lot of time alone with me in that room was a Lesbian. Their evidence that I was gay? I had long hair and an earring, and wore odd clothing. In 1971. I will admit that I was, literally, light in my loafers, but that was only because I was smoking so much pot that year (like half the people in that dorm) that it affected the way I walked.
