Wow @
1. I can't believe this woman...
2. This was really well-articulated and written. Seriously, I want that woman to read this... Although it probably would not penetrate through her ignorance...

Yeah, yeah, stop flaunting your gay rights in front of my face... :P

Thank you :) I think I might actually send it to her. Who knows if she would read it or if it would make a difference but I know that it definitely won't if I don't send it, right?

And yes, I was pretty shocked. Sorry for flaunting the gay right :p But seriously, it's just something that I have never encountered here. I know homophobic and/or ignorant people but I've never heard of anyone explicitly directing their hatred like that, especially on students.

You are awesome! For reading & commenting and for your dedication to ladies on the television- your blog is fab! :D
