| *fairly graphic language ahead* sooooooo my friends and i took baxxxter with us to swim in a creek in the middle of nowhere yesterday. it was my first time going to this place and, though the place was beautiful, there were a lot of drunk rednecks everywhere. oh joy. well my three guy friends, one female friend, and baxxxter were having a good time swimming and jumping off the cliff and whatnot. you guys should have seen him out there dog-paddling away. it was hilarious. when we picked him up out of the water he would still paddle at the air, it was adorable. and he'd climb up on my back and surf while i did the swimming for him. everyone was having a good time. until, we were getting ready to go and i walked upstream to clean baxxxter off in the shallow water and some drunk inbred guys were like "are you a fag?!?" oh. sh*t. "cuz yu gut wun uf thim thar fag dawgs." "this aint no place fur f*ckin fags and fag dawgs." i knew i was about to get lynched. i wanted to be like -yeah i'm gay not because i own a small dog, but because my willy only stands up for boys, not that it should be any of your concern- BUT i know better than to open my mouth around these rednecks. so i just turned around and went back to my friends and, luckily, 2 of the three of them are in the army and would protect me in a heartbeat. we left shortly after the death threats started. it just makes me so angry that people are so hateful. i can, somewhat, understand people not agreeing with me. i understand that it's part of people's religion, but i dont understand why i should be made to feel like i'm less than everyone else. i'm not. and further more, this wasnt even REALLY about my sexuality. i'm not flamboyant and the only thing that made them think i was gay was having a yorkie. and having a yorkie shouldn't suggest anything about me, other than the fact that i like my dog or my dogs breed. i do not feel the need to defend myself or my choice in dogs to anyone. i'm sorry this just really got under my skin. it's not the first time though, nor the last.

| Part of people's religion??? - I'm aware of what the bible says, but the bible also says judge not and we have all sinned, plain and simple. Sorry you're day was ruined. |

| So sorry you had the trouble. Some people are just plain jerks whether or not they are rednecks. I kid my hubby he is a redneck, but he is not like those you encountered. My TN redneck is a 6 foot 300 lb gentleman who has fallen in love with Gypsy and is often seen cuddling her around others. Hope it doesn't happen again!

| Ugh, what planet are those idiots from? To assume a person is homosexual because they own a yorkie??? Whether you are, or aren't is no one's business but your own and I am sorry those jerks decided to ruin what sounded like a nice day. I guess I am a lesbian and my husband is gay because we love Nikko. And here we thought we were a heterosexual couple I guess you learn something new about yourself every day!!

| This makes me so sad. I'm sorry that there are such ignorant people out there. No one should be confronted in that manner....ever!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Quote:
to make assumptions because of what kind of dog someone has is just plain ignorant. But what is scarier is the gay bashers in the world. You were smart to get out of there. Drunks wouldn't care if someone is Gay or Straight at that point ...and you could have been hurt. They are cowards. Plain and simple - none of those JERKS would act like that if alone. | |

| god, to judge a person by their dog (a cute one at that) is just mean! i could care less if your a gay, lesbian, or whatever! this is one of those cheesy things that people always say and you think is stupid but it really is true: all that maters is whats on the inside!

| Sorry your day had to be ruined by such ignorance. You were right to leave tho...drunk + ignorant + more than one redneck = You Get Hurt. Hope your next outing is more fun for you.

| Mikey - All of us have run across people like you mentioned. People can be bad enough - but when they're drunk - they're even worse! My advise (which you did) is just get yourself and your dog (children or whatever) away from them as soon as possible. And, certainly, don't ever say or do anything that might get them going even more. Sorry you had a bad experience. But, it does sound like you otherwise had a great day! Carol Jean |

| Mikey I am sorry that you had a bad day today. I don't think that religion played a part at all in what they were saying but I do know ignorance did. Some people have too much time on their hands and worry about other people too much. Don't give them or anyone else the satisfaction of ruining your day....shake it off. They were probably bullied in school and just want to pick on someone now. You did the right thing by leaving let them live in their own misery and be closed minded.

| Mikey, I don't post here often but felt compelled to. I have to say how saddened I am by some peoples behavior towards others, and like another member said " mean people suck" I'm just mortified that you were threatened and made to feel unsafe when you were just out having a wonderful time with your friends and little furbaby. I am so sorry your day was cut short and you had to leave, Yet I'm so happy that you were not physically harmed during any of it.You did the right thing by leaving and staying safe. Hugs, Jan
