and I hurried up and went out the door...and he said fag what r u running for...and my girlfriend is walking with me...tshe turns around and is walking backwards
and she has to open her big mouth and starts saying shit back to him..
my parents are pissed because she didn't just walk away...said something back
People are saying that you should have been a 'man' and stood up for yourself. But it reminds me of a scene on "to kill a mocking bird" when Atticus takes his kids with him to some guys house (i forget who) and the town drunk calls Atticus a "nigger lover" (or something like that) and spits on his face.
Atticus didn't get revenge on him, because if he had of, he would have set a bad example for his children, and sunk to the same level of the town drunk.
Basically what I'm saying is, i think you did the right thing in ignoring this person.

Boo fucking hoo, sorry for never having to deal with anyone ever calling one of my exes gay... Homophobe yeah, so I guess my best friend (practically my brother is not the gayest most feminine guy I know. And that my other best friend hasn't been living with her studband for about two years now. Whom I love them both dearly. Not to mention my eldest brother. Plus I live in Atlanta if I was homaphobic I would MOVE, and would not have had a relationship with a female before... But when it comes to my ,b/c there are so many down low men. YES I would question his manhood and sexuality. None of my exes would EVER get tried like that. and if they did they damn sure wouldn't run...

But what has fear got to do with sexuality!? Or manhood!?
Quote: from Al Legator at 9:14 am on Jan. 8, 2009 I disagree with most of you . I think he did the right thing by ignoring the jerk and walking away. He dangled the bait and she took it like a fish. Why do you think he said those things? It was to get a reaction and she cave in and gave the jerk what he wanted. People like that are jerks when they wake up in the morning and they'll be jerks when the go to sleep at the end of the day nomatter what anyone says- or says back- to them. Why play their childish name-calling game? But for the parents, I understand their position - probably thinking, don't confront a jerk who wants a confrontation or it might escalate. And that's true, it might. But they should, at most, say they disagreed with the GF's actions and leave it at that. Even though I'm sure there are underlying factors to the insult... Guys just don't call other guys fags unless there is some truth to it. PLus he ran instead of "walking away." Which I 'm sure really did make him look sissy-ish...

Guys insult each other all the time- and sexually based insults are the most common- for no reason, with no "evidence", and I think, from the original post, the insulter wasn't even known by the OP. And the OP said he "hurried" past - it was the jerk who said the OP was "running". He wasn't running. So I'm having trouble following your logic, including your earlier post where you said that if some random guy said the same thing about your BF, you would "think twice about his sexuallity, manhood and the relationship." So you'd do all that because of some comment by some random jerk? Doesn't seem like you have much faith in your BF!

Guy's call other guys 'fags' and 'gay' all the time. Nobody should give a shit... There's an alarming amount of sexism and homophobia on this topic... I must say I agree with al legator on this one :/ It's also probably not great top confront strangers who want a fight, just leave...
