This is what happens when you give an aimless young gay man in Chicago access to the internet.

Not Straight, But Very Narrow

I was riding in a car a couple of months ago with my boss, who is also gay, and we stopped at one of those four-way stop signs with the turning lanes. A car came up next to us in the turning lane in an attempt to overtake us at the intersection. My gay boss wasn't having any of that, and slammed his foot on the accelerator... but not before saying "Oh no you don't, you fucking nigger!"

The person in the other car was black and I realized that my gay boss is a huge racist.

That wasn't the first time he made rude racist comments. He once told me that he refused to live in a certain apartment building because all of the last names on the mail boxes were "Pollack and Mexican." He further added that he'd come home one day "and there would be a thousand Mexican kids chasing the live chickens in the corridors."

I can tolerate a 46 year old gay man sporting the faux-hawk, but I won't tolerate his racism, especially because he's gay. Isn't that the gay racist the biggest oxymoron in existence? Gay people have to deal with homophobia and persecution based on something that they had no control over, so why do some of them turn around and do that to others? It boggles the mind.

Hmmmm....is your boss a GWM? If so, he's just as racist as any other WM, and probably even more so. A lot of GWMs have an extra sense of entitlement due to being selfish bitchy queens. Your boss's behavior is all too common, but usually not expressed in the company of a person of color. While making comments like that, he probably also goes online looking for BBCs to get his rocks off.

I have to tell you, it's been my experience that many of our gay brethren are, unfortunately, by and large very racist -- at least in Chicago. That's to say all gay men, or even all gay men in Chicago, but I've experienced a lot of it. In fact, I was on a date with this white guy -- my one and only date with a white guy in the better part of a decade -- and in the span of 4 hours I heard the words "nigger", "spic" and "Jew" used multiple times. And not in the context of Joe Lieberman is a Jew, but more like "that dirty Jew". I was embarrassed for my race. Needless to say that was our last date and I've not dated a whitey since. It's very disappointing that gays act like that.
