(13th March) Some people live with this shit every day...
...but it's harsh when you're not used to it.

Walking home from the supermarket about 10pm. I've just been to the rugby, nothing much is happening now and I figure I'll get dinner and go home, have a quiet one.

Car goes by me quite fast and someone leans out of the window and screams at me 'where's your girlfriend you gay fuck?'

OK, not the most devastating insult in the world, but it was the look of true hatred on his face and in his voice that got to me. And I was scared - it was a car full of guys, and if they decided they wanted to bash someone, I wasn't going to be able to do much to fight back.

Then it hit me that some people have to deal with this all the time. I have a renewed respect for gay people, and anyone else who puts up with shit for being who they are.
