Very Upset!

Very Upset!

My best friend and I decided to go and see Deadpool 2. There were maybe 6 people in the theater including us and I was very happy with the movie. Now, my best friend and I have a tendency to hold hands and I was curled against her as much as one could be in those seats for all the heartfelt moments and some of the mild core. 

Nothing wrong with that, right? 

Apparently there is. As the movie came to an end the two boys and grandmother behind us got up to leave. Suddenly, my friend felt something being sprayed on her shoulder. One of the kids had spit their drink onto her, probably aiming for the both of us. We went to the bathroom to see the damage and wash it off and as we stood at the sink, the woman next to us, who was the grandmother sitting behind us, gave us the most disgusted look she could muster before quickly leaving. My friend is not gay in any way and although I am bisexual, it was horrifying to believe they had done that just because of how we acted. We went through how we acted in the theater: we had whispered among ourselves and joked back and forth. We shared drinks and complimented the lesbian relationship. 

Being that it’s Pride Month, I was more than horrified. We were just two close friends seeing a movie and were practically assaulted and looked down on just because we looked like two girls in a relationship.  

Stay Safe this Pride Month everyone. 

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

Your depression doesn’t make you less worthy of being loved.

Now if only I could find Lance...
