Reply #19: My experience waiting tables in Wacko Texas [View All]

[EndersDame]

I was waiting tables in a restaurant in Wacko Texas with some crazies who fear a complete socialist takeover from Barack "Hussien" Obama . In May we hired a very openly gay man named Bubba! (the exclamation point was his signature) who just moved from Dallas to be close to his family. I coming from Austin thought, my god how are these country fried assholes gonna treat him (again to be fair alot of my former co workers though George W. Was a good and intelligent man and Obama was Adolf Stalin) I was pleasantly surprised when everyone treated him with respect. Even the daughters of a Baptist Preacher . Sure it took some education on most peoples part but when I stepped outside for a smoke I over heard the bar tender confess her former ignorance/bigotry and she came to the conclusion that if her son came out as gay she would love him the same and would want him to be happy and able to marry.

It gives me hope when this is coming out of Wacko Texas. Again I know that they are young but they certainly are not into being politically revolutionary or anything. I think a Waco youth is equivalent of a thirty forty something when it comes to change.

I think what needs to be done is more education and more grass roots organizing much like the '60s civil rights movement and it needs to spread outside of liberal/progressive enclaves
