STARING is flattering and weird

Yesterday, I was at a store and the cashier stared at me. She had eyes that wasn't the average dark eyes. Dang, I wish women would stop starring at me and say something. When the guys stare, I prefer that they only stare. I don't get it -- I never have -- but it's been happening since I was a kid. I remember that one day when I was younger than 13, me and my cousins got on an elevator to go see a relative. The elevator operator stared at me. At the time, I wondered if my blouse was dirty or if my nose was running. (I was a kid.) Sometimes it's flattering and sometimes it's weird when someone just -- stares. I have a mirror -- I'm neither drop dead gorgeous or butt ugly -- I don't get it. What! Anyway, I just stared back at the cashier and then she gave me my change. She turned to someone talking but her hand was still outstretched toward mine. Perhaps I should have held it and asked her out, but she was working and too many people were around. Dang, I should kick my car for not working right now or I could go back to that store and see what reaction I'd get from her the second time.

NOTE: When I read back over this, I realized that I left something out -- the elevator operator was a woman. Now in the telling, it makes a difference huh? Maybe her gaydar thang was working way back then. Hey, even though I had a girlfriend at ten, I really didn't know anything. I just followed my natural instincts.

The Agenda-Civil Rights

Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --Barack Obama, (More)
