Everyone in Subway didnt kick you ass.

I went to our local subway. This guy has been working there for years. He is a great worker and is nice to custumers. He just happens to have a high pitched voice.

As I was getting the finishing touches on my sub This big guy walks up, Subway worker asks him if he can help him. Right out of the SCs voice was "Get this gay guy away from me." Everyone in the place looked at him and a few guys offered to take him outside. The manager came out right away and through the guy out and told him that his business is never needed.

Good for the manager, and for the crowd mentality that kicked in. Did the worker take it ok?

Sadly, I hear stories like this from my gay friends a lot. One guy, who is particularly flamboyant, said people would often come up to his register, notice him, and then go to another one, loudly announcing "Oh wait, we can't check out here, the faggot is on this register." He took great joy in yelling back "Why, yes I AM, THANK YOU!" He's now in fast food management, I want to put a camera on him just so I can see people's faces when they realize he IS the manager and he's not taking shit from anyone

I dont think the guy is gay.I think I heard him talking about his wife before. He just looked shocked but didnt say anything.

Oh gosh I hate people soooo much. *rants*
This reminds me of two of my worst customers suck stories EVER, but I've never typed them up because they make me so mad my blood boils, I see red, and I have urges to kill.

Bigots like this think they can spot a gay guy by looking.

Some men have high pitched voices, or thinner body structures, or body language that isn't "manly" (whatever that means). And they're as straight as straight can be.

I've known other guys who look and act like lumberjacks (no not the Monty Python guys), who were gay.

So what? What's that got to do with getting freaking customer service?

Kudos to the customers for standing up for this CW.

My boyfriend tripped my roomy's gaydar hard the first time they met, but it's just because he's very quiet, shy, and does theatre stuff and so is completely comfortable with himself so he doesn't get squeamish about being in close proximity to other guys (you really can't have personal space in theatre. It doesn't work well)

[MoonCat]

Sounds like a total moron. Good for the manager for not putting up with it!

you just described Mr. Katt to a T...
(and his own family thought he didn't like girls-well ok so he didn't like the "average girl")

Some of us prefer the slightly effete males of the species.....

My bf is rather masculine but wasn't interested in most girls. He only has one ex girlfriend. His mother seemed genuinely surprised to meet me, a girl, as someone bf was romantically interested in. :rofl: Granted I'm rather androgynous but still. :P

A year and some odd months ago, for my ex's bday, we went to Red Robin (me, him, and a couple of his friends), and our waiter happened to be extremely flamboyant looking/sounding. Didn't bother me any, but ooooh boy did my stupid ex and his guy friend just keep bitching about faggots and AIDS and wanting to kick that guy's ass.

And the best part, they didn't care that he could hear them! So, while they were blatantly being assholes, since I paid for me and bf, I gave the guy a $10 tip.

John Barrowman is a good example. He can be rather rugged at times.

I'm not gay, myself. But Captain Jack? Well, yeah.

[Redbeard]

Yeah but that's just Barroman. He's the exception to many a mans "thanks, but I like the ladies" rule

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Oooh, did someone say John Barrowman?? Mmmmmm....

I have two good male friends who used to be a couple, and we all worked together when I met them. I didn't realize for a LONG time that they were together...one acts VERY straight for the most part and the other is just difficult to read. The latter broke up with the former about 10 years back, and the guy the former is with now is very, shall we say, obvious. I think they're all great people

[Syriilord]

As a card carrying member of the "thanks, but I like the ladies" club I have to add the following:

John Barrowman? Pass....

Nathan Fillion on the other hand.... Now there's a man I would gladly go gay for

Also, Morgan Freeman's voice makes my knees go weak
