Recently, my wife has had to put up with harassment from lesbians that simply wasn't there before. She started working as a waitress and it intensified. When we lived in Edmonton, she was harassed and assaulted by gay women in bars. She is very demure, doesn't show a lot of skin and isn't gay. She isn't butch, either.
She doesn't hang out at gay clubs, these are regular bars.
These were regular bars she went to with her friends, as well as on the street and at the bus stop. She didn't drive back then.
Less than 6 weeks ago, she was assaulted by a lesbian after ignoring her incessant demands for a kiss and this woman crashed into a wall after chasing her and it was her own fault. She went up to my wife and started thrashing around, hitting her, threatening her and slapping her. I do not see any basis for this type of behaviour. Maybe the woman has a problem but it is not my wife's fault and being gay is not an excuse, nor does it lessen the wrong or excuse it.
I don't have a problem with say, the gay guy at the liquor store who is polite to us. As far as the article goes, I didn't write it and happened upon it by accident while searching the Internet. I just wanted to know what people think. I am not saying it is immoral or that it should be illegal to be gay.
