Don’t Panic

In honor of many of my future subject lines will be song lyrics or song titles.

Nothing gives me “Gay Panic” like a good drag show. This is why I normally avoid drag shows like the plague. But as a newly minted member of the events committee for Pride Saint Louis, I felt I should show up for the year’s first event. It was a fund raiser to help send Miss Gay Pride, Channelle Carrington, to the Miss Gay America Pageant. I only drink when I’m nervous. I tried to make it through the night without drinking. This lasted all of five minutes. I waited until all the Pride members had left the bar to get a table before ordering a shot of Jager on the sly, thinking no one had to know. I had no idea that there were theese big, buff, Jager spokes-models circulating the bar giving Mardi Gras beads with flashing Jagermeister bottles on them to anybody who did a shot. So I walked around the rest of the night with a scarlet “J” hanging around my neck.

    According to wikipedia, gay panic is:
    “The rationale behind the argument is that a non-homosexual person can become so offended or outraged by a sexual or romantic interest that is perceived to be homosexual that he or she is driven temporarily insane and commits an act that would not otherwise be of his or her character.”
    My misappropriation of this horrible phrase that is used to justify violence against gays and lesbians is meant in jest, although it might really offend some people.
