I went to DC to protest Bush on his second inauguration.  Quite an interesting dichotomy of people there.  Hippies, punks, gays and lesbians, young Republicans, Old Republicans, Communists, Anarchists, me.  There was this church group protesting because they hated Bush because he is a war monger, they are also feel that he is a fag enabler, meaning he supports gays, and they hated just about everybody.  This girl walked by this group, remember they are a church group, and one of the people, an ordinary looking guy of about 19, called the girl an “anorexic bitch.”  Then my friend says,” I’d nail her.”  “Oh, go ahead and spew insults,” says the kid.  “What exactly do you stand for?”  “Queers like you and Bush are going to hell.”  Then this kind of talked continued for a bit.  Then we started talking to an older lady, and she kept calling us “queers”, saying that we all were going to hell.  So my friend says,” So you mean to tell me that I have two options, either go to heaven and be with you or go to hell and be with all my friends.”  As he was saying this I got right in her face and snapped a picture.  “Show that picture to all of your queer friends.”  I thought it to be interesting that they kept using the word queer.  Nobody uses that word anymore, well, except, queers.  I kind of thought that had become their word.  For a reference on this see The Simpson’s when Homer thinks Bart is turning gay.
