(Jewish Group) I attended a gay pride event today. [View all]
I wore a T-shirt with a similar symbol below:
My Star of David has the red on the right and purple on the left. I like wearing it to Pride events as it pisses off ALL the right people.
There were, of course, protestors. Some were just foul. "AIDS: Judgement or Cure?", "EVIL should be HATED!", "Stop Sexualising ( sic ) Children!" The last two signs were held by Muslim children. Three children and one father were Muslims, the rest of the protestors, about 20, were Christians. No Jews that I saw, except at the event and they were queer, like me.
When I got stopped by one of the "good Christians" who just wanted to "witness" to me, the woman asked if I was "saved". I pointed at my shirt and said, "I am good!". She said, "No! Have you accepted Jesus as your savior?" Again, I pointed at my shirt and said, "I am all good. Thanks, but no thanks." She then proceeded to say; "But you aren't saved." Finally, I just looked right at her and said, "You do realize your Lord and Savior and I share the SAME religion, right? Jesus was Jew!" She went slack-jawed, I just smiled, flung my hair (it's pretty long now after two years of not being cut), and sauntered off.
All in all, it was pretty nice for small town Oklahoma.
