can't handle this

Shane and I were on a walk the other day, actually the day before Father's Day, and we got harassed. Like legitimately harassed. Ironically, we weren't holding hands and we weren't even showing any signs of affection. We were just walking and talking. We walked past these three drunken assholes fishing on the levies and as we passed they said "hello" and what not, but nothing other than that. Well as we returned we passed by them again and they look at both of us and made some comments about how, "they were father's" and kept mockingly wishing us a Happy Father's Day. We just smiled and kept walking, and then the yelled "faggots" as we kept walking.

Is it really necessary for anyone to make such comments?! I mean, one of the guys happened to be black, you didn't see us calling him a n$^%$ or any other derogatory name. I don't understand the hatred and ignorance people have in their minds. I just don't understand. I don't think we did ANYTHING to deserve to be harassed. And thank God it was only a little name-calling. I mean, there were three of them and us two homos. We didn't stand a chance if they came after us to physically attack us. That's scary! Sure, I wanted to say something back, but I was forced to bite my tongue. I don't feel I should have to though, I really don't. I hate ignorant bastards. And I hate the fact that I can do nothing about them.
