158. Uh-huh
Here's the original thread, complete with YOU minimizing the experience and refusing to accept that the attack had anything to do with my gayness.

From reading this thread, I can see that the slur itself may have been simply as a result of ignoring them. The threat of violence, however, was not the norm and I still believe it's entirely possible that they perceived that we were a couple and were prepared to harm us as a result. If anyone was clinging to assumptions, I'd say it was you.

And, um, I *am* a woman. How patronizing of you. Or am I less of a woman to you because I'm lesbian?
