Ho-Mo You Didn’t!
(I am at a karaoke bar. I’m female and have just sung a love song by a male singer with lyrics that clearly indicate the other person is female but not the singer’s gender. Females usually change the lyrics to indicate a male. I sang the original. A stranger grabs me on the way back to my table.)
Stranger: “Why did you sing that to a girl? You sing nice but that was very weird and made me feel so awkward.”
Me: “Is that a problem?”
Stranger: “Yes, you are a girl! You should sing to a boy!”
Me: “Not if I’m gay.”
Stranger: “Ewww, get away from me.”
Me: “Glad to.”
(As I was walking away his friend says to him:)
Stranger’s Friend: “That was rude!” *to me* “Sorry!”
(The next song I choose is a love song with lyrics clearly indicated the singer as male and the other person as female. I sang it as female for both. That particular stranger is glaring at me, I glare back and walk a different way back to my table.)
Stranger: *yelling so everyone can hear* “Disgusting homo!”
Stranger’s Friend: *slaps him in the head* “You’re the disgusting one!”
