" Oh honey expect that much! The narrow minded people are going to be mad at us. About 2 weeks ago I was in a Wal-Mart superstore and as I was walking past electronics 2 walmart employees were talking about me. One of them said, "that's a he-she shemale faggot". He said it so loud half the store could hear him. I was walking off and the more I thought about the idea of paying his salary for him to call me names got me mader. I turned around and walked almost up to him as he tried to turn to hide his name tag. I got his name though and went up front and asked to talk to a manager. This was the 2nd time this same individual had said things like this. After writing a complaint to their headquarters, their response was telling me that they are making their employees attend diversity training seminars. He told me that the last time I complained too and almost a year later the same man verbally assaulted me again. Well a few days ago I was in walmart and a couple of their employees were laughing at me, so i picked up my make up basket and left everything else I had in the buggy. I'm not paying them to laugh at me and insult me! I went to brookshires to get my groceries were a man hollered queer at me from an isle over. He said it pretty loud too. Like they think I'm suppose to get use to it and continue to shop at walmart. This was planned out gossip etc. Anyways though girlfriend I was like a duck with bullet proof armor on. When he called me that it rolled right off my back so fast. I can thank Oboma for that because he made me feel like a real human being who has rights and laws to protect me. I just drove home sticking my tongue out at people and giggling. God I feel so free since the bill was passed.

We no longer have to sit in silence as narrow minded people insult us! We can throw insults right back if we wish and we are protected!

The next time someone calls you a queer tell them, that queer sounded awfully gay coming out of your mouth.

Tell them love me or hate me but your still thinking about me! "
