Homophobic Incident

by Nicholas Barnard on December 30th, 2003

Somedays I really hate fighting an uphill battle.


I was taking a lunch break for someone and at the station next to the one I was at I saw a few copies of The Advocate. Bored, I went to look at them. Unfortunately I found that they were defaced with homophobic epithets.

I wish someone had come up to my face and called me a fag, at least then I could deal with it; I’m stuck stabbing in the dark at no one right now.


Its much easier to say than to do. I’ve got strains of my Candle Light Vigil Speech running through my head. I keep hearing myself say “that one incident was allowed to happen here in our community.” (I’m such a narcissist.) I know my reaction to this should be to get out there and educate and make positive change from this incident but I would like nothing more than a shouting match or a honest discussion with who did this.


Am I making a mountain out of a molehill?

I dunno, but if you only look at the top of a mountain and cut off the bottom, it looks like a molehill. Whatever the matter I have to do something.


Ack, I’ve ran out of steam.


Oh by the way the incident mentioned in my Candle Light Vigil speech was a bumper-sticker defacement, that was a mountain out of a molehill.
