I just couldn't help myself.

In the checkout line at the grocery store this morning I noticed that the guy in front of me was wearing a red LGB! (Let's Go Brandon!) hat. (I live in a reliably blue enclave in Northern Virginia, but we still have our idiots.)

Upon catching his eye I told him, "Nice hat." He smirked a little bit and replied, "Hell yes!". I then asked, "How do you identify?" With an extremely confused look on his face he sort of grunted, "Huh?" I responded, "You know, LGB ... I fully support you, but are you lesbian, gay, or bi-sexual?"

The cashier laughed so hard that she was actually snorting, and the woman behind me joined in. The guy never said a word, just harrumphed, paid his bill, and left. I only had a few items to purchase, so by the time I got to the parking lot, he had just finished loading his groceries and was backing out of his parking space.

He flipped me off and I blew him a kiss.

He wasn't wearing his hat anymore.

8. You actually asked some stranger how they identify?

Wow.

14. Because being any of those is seen as an insult, right?

Amazing anyone finds this worthy of praise.

37. Rather than be sarcastic let's talk about this.

So, I’ve got gay friends who utterly rank people who protest or disrupt Pride. One of their favorite comebacks is to turn the insults around and encourage the badgerers to come out. They’re not insulting themselves by using the homophobia to make them uncomfortable and ruin their fun.

I know this is inserting LGBTQ into an arena where it’s not the primary issue, but is it insulting to LGBTQ folks? Is it different if the person ranking the hat-wearer is part of that population?

I’m not arguing here—I’m thinking about what you said.

44. I'm done with this thread. Trashing it now.

Using gay as an insult is exactly what it is.

The whole premise of this little “anecdote” is how the OP makes fun of the hat wearer. No reason anything about sexuality would come into someone’s support of another political party. He gleefully repots this little “story” and amazingly get kudos from DUers…several I now feel differently about.

If some idiot said to me that he “ supports” me, as this OP does on his long way round to insulting this person…he’d be lucky not to get smacked. I don’t need the support of obviously prejudiced persons.

Y’all have fun now. Bless your hearts.

20. I don't usually advocate confrontation but I'd do that myself!

Well played, my friend.

24. Really? Imply someone is gay because we all "know" that's an insult, right?

Really surprised at this thread and those cheering this on.

“Hahaha, you called him a ——-!”

Wow. Amazing.

28. Nice, but

many of these people are deranged. Taunting one who may be carrying a gun could end badly.

32. What? No pic of the hat?

Funny, I can’t find a Let’s go Brandon hat that just has “LGB” on it.

Cool story, bro.

Is "Star Member 11 Bravo" DU's valor-stealing pretend soldier? Or am I thinking of someone else. If he is, then making up a fictional :bouncy: would be small potatoes.

I know.  Everyone calm down, this never happened.  Everybody except Blackskimmer over there just LOVED it, couldn't stop laughing, re-told the story to their spouses, etc.  They are so stupid.  312 DU recs!  They'll eat anything.

And then everyone behind me in line broke out clapping and cheering. As the Trumper walked out of the store a cop jumped out of the bushes and arrested him.

In this particular case, "and a cop jumped out from behind the produce aisle".

They've never had a problem with "homophobic" jokes, racist jokes, sexist jokes, classist jokes, fat jokes and look-ist jokes, as long as they're directed towards the right people.
