This man came into the store today (have i posted yet to say I have a part time job at the Gap? I can't remember) and told me & my co-worker that he 'has a problem with the name of the store' because it was started by 2 gay men in Montreal and means Gay And Proud. He then went on to say how disgusting that is and some other stuff, told me and co-

I hope you told him to leave!!

I'm not allowed to tell people anything (if it had been @ Bluenotes would have been a different story!) One of the keyholders was heading over to him and I think he left at that point.

Oh my goodness! What a horrible man!

[watchewan]

He WAS horrible...it makes me so sad that people think/behave that way.

It reminds me of a video I saw on the internet about McCain supporters being asked what they thought of Obama, and their responses were filled with racism and ill-informed opinions.

So very sad.

Oh of course! Can't have a black man in the White House (I actually saw a picture of someone wearing a t-shirt that said something to that effect) Did you see the video where a woman said Obama was an Arab???

...the hell?

You know, it's easy to forget that people like that actually exist. "Hope you're not gay!"??? ...I just... WHAT??

When I was with Evan, we went to the mall one weekend (the scary-assed mall where Paul Bernardo used to scope out his victims, actually; I never quite got over that) because he said I should "make him over". He needed new clothes anyway & said I should choose them so I'd find him "even hotter than usual". (Ha! It was a lot of fun, I must admit. He was VERY fine.) First place I took him was to the GAP, and I decked him out in all sorts of preppy stuff & drooled over him a lot, and he actually mentioned the "gay and proud" thing at one point. I said I'd never known if that was true or just an urban myth, and he shrugged and said, "If it helps any guys get lucky by looking better, who cares

Yeah, I remember hearing that back in the 90's too...I have no idea if it's true or not, had completely forgotten about it until yesterday. This was the first time I've had a face to face interaction with someone like that....and he had this awful smile on his face the whole time he was talking. It just makes me ill!!!!!

Times like this makes me wish the end was nigh!

[watchewan]

Can the end be nigh for stupid people only???

[dano_mano]

I don't think so, however if I find schematics for a nuclear device that is environmentally friendly and only kills stupid people I will start a scheming!

..... though I need an evil lair, does the GAP have any of those I can rent?

Well, the start of his error is the company started in the states, not Montreal. (San Francisco, specifically...I know...insert Mr. Bonehead's counter arguement here). According to most of the history I've been able to find, the name referred to the gap between the baby boomers and their kids, the generational differences.
