Tough Talk,
My husband and I have lived in the same home for more than 40 years. We have had several neighbors over the years. A couple years ago a gay couple moved across the street. We have always been pleasant and defended them when they were attacked by other neighbors. Things settled down and I thought we were on good terms when one came over and complained about our fireplace and a stern lecture on why I was destroying the environment. He was nasty and whiny, like a spoiled brat valley girl, walking off like a pompous jerk. I want to be a good neighbor and not bother him, but am offended by his rude behavior. How should I handle this TT? (West Dickinson, RI)
WD,
I am offended as well. You should ignore that whiny little poof and continue to live your life the way you normally would. Although I am against any type of discrimination, some disaffected individuals have turned their gayness into a badge of arrogance. Furthermore, you have lived there all your life and just doing something every homeowner should do without some spoiled brat getting in your face. If this snot-nose backstabber bothers you again, you let me know.
