My friend had an extra one of these stickers and I’ve always wanted one so I put it on my car about a week and a half ago. The blue sticker looks nice against the green color of my car.
Today on my way to the gym the most bizarre thing ever happened. Some guy in a large red truck, perhaps one with a Hemi in it, rolled down his window as he passed and yelled “Faggot!” at me.
I was too stunned to laugh, but man, is that funny. I mean, this guy is so ignorant that he yelled a slur out his car window at someone totally minding their own business. AND he didn’t even do it right. Girls are not faggots. Especially not straight girls who happen to have a simple equality sticker on their cars.
And that is the puzzling thing. I think my sticker would provoke less random rage than say, a pink triangle or rainbow flag. It’s just a Human Rights Campaign sticker, which I don’t think most people even know.
So, I’m a faggot, huh? Maybe I can work that into some sort of Halloween costume.

Relax, he was just demanding a cigarette, I’m sure.
Native American writer Sherman Alexie told a story about how after 9-11 some hick in a pick-up truck yelled at him to go back to where he came from. He drove away before Sherman could counter with, “You first!” He said that it wasn’t a hate crime so much as a crime of irony. I’m straight but I’m glad I live in faggot-ass, hyper-liberal Seattle.
