The scene: The Infamous BlueJay and myself, standing at a bus stop in downtown Seattle after getting our badges for Sakura-Con. I am dressed in my usual manner, BlueJay is wearing skinny black jeans, black Converse, a black hoodie, and a black double-breasted wool pea coat.
A guy in his early 20s, looking like he fell out of a Hollister store, walks up to us with a confused look and asks, "Can I ask you two a question? Are you, like, lesbians?"
::cue blank stares from us::
Me: Why are you asking?"
Him: "Well, you're standing together, and you're wearing black."
BlueJay: "So when you're hanging out with your guy friends, do people ask you if you're gay?"
Him: "But I'm not wearing all black!"
Me: "...what?"
Jay, with a tone of you are a moron: "Son, wearing all black doesn't equal gay."
Me: "Look, there's the bus!"
What. The. Fuck? I don't care if someone asks if I'm queer (but randomly asking strangers at the bus stop is rude), but assuming two women are lesbians because they're walking together and wearing all black? Whaaaaat?
Life is never boring around here, that's for sure.
