Why is there a need for a "gay day" for skydiving? Or any other kind of "day"?

I’ve only had two incidents I can think of where I was hassled at the DZ because I’m gay, and both were from the same two chuckle-heads.

One day I took off work early to get a couple of jumps in. Being a weekday the DZ was kinda slow so we were hanging out giving each other shit; I was getting shit for being gay and I was giving everyone shit for being straight (I’m talking about my DZ family here, and I Do Mean Family). In walks the two chuckle-heads, I think their names were Robert and Gary IIRC, and must have overheard the ‘conversation.’ We got a load announcement and geared up. While waiting out side to walk to the plane, I believe it was Robert, said FAG. Gary laughed and I just ignored them. Then one of them said, “Come here and suck on this FAG.” They made a few more comments and I just continued to ignore them. At the end of the day I asked who they were and was told they used to be semi-regulars there and I didn’t see them again until about a year later.

Fast forward to the next year. I was at the DZ and the two chuckle-heads showed up. Robert noticed me right away and started his shit. Gary seemed to be following along but didn’t really say too much. I ignored them both, and Robert, not getting a reaction out of me decided he needed to get my attention. I’ll admit he was cute and had a nice hairy chest. How do I know that? Well Robert decided the way to get my attention was to unzip his jumpsuit past his navel showing his bare chest, and if he weren’t wearing underwear he would have been showing some pubes too. The more I ignored him the more he made it a point to pass in front of me and make rude comments like, “Fag,” “Suck this,” “What the Fuck you staring at” and such. This went on for a few hours, then they left. During the day my friend Judy noticed what was going on and wanted to give Robert an ear full. I told her not to. I kind of felt bad for him. He was obviously trying to get my attention for a reason. I told Judy I remember when I was young and not comfortable at all in my skin – knowing I was gay and hating it – and I’d make rude comments about gay people because that way I wouldn’t be gay. Robert was much older than I when I went through that stage – I got over it early and came out when I was 18 – and I don’t know for sure that was his motivation, but he just reminded me of the kid I once was trying to convince myself I was straight.

I’m sure there have been other instances but I have a rather thick skin and tend to not remember petty shit.

But go on, tell me how I am wrong. Don't disappoint now.

You want me to set you straight? You think I care about disappointing you?

Your belligerence toward me and thinly veiled hostility have me thinking I wouldn't piss in your mouth if your teeth were on fire.

I think I pretty much agree with you on this PJ. Still if it makes gay skydivers happy then I guess it hurts no one.

Yeah, but they pretty much know that you pretty much don't like me, so I don't expect they're gonna jump on your ass about it. Rest easy.


edit: I appreciate your having the guts to come forth and admit it, though.

edit again: I almost said "had the balls to come out and admit it..." But that would have been so gayyyy!

It doesn't have to be filthy: they could all do enemas before they fuck.

I don't see this boogie as divisive, I see it as inclusive.

Nobody sees it as divisive.

Not even "Peaceful" Jeffrey does. He just sees it as an opportunity to fight.

Gee, uh, thanks for presuming to speak for me.

Are you just still sore because I alleged that you bust on me?

Trying to fulfill the prophecy, now, are we?

Hey, to the two (so far) gay men who have given their personal experiences and perspectives, thanks. I have a lot of respect for your frankness and willingness to share parts of your life.

NO, I am not an incipient gay guy, guys. But I do respect ya.

It's remarkable what you can learn about someone by reading what someone else posts about them.

P.S. I can think of more creative ways to put out that fire in your mouth.

I'll take a couple of gallons, please.

Also, IMO, if you were really loving, you wouldn't deprive your fanbase of your performance at the boogie.

Well, just in case, I'm sending hugs too...because I know that on the mornings when I really need a laugh, what I also really need are lots and lots of snuggles.

Is there anything I can do to help? Or can I volunteer (i.e., ask Rebecca to wrap and mail) GTA so that he can help?

Huh? What? I heard my name...

I'm not sending him anywhere. BF is too stressed out and busy to snuggle or make me laugh, so I gotta borrow GTA for just a little while... him AND his hat.

I'll mail 'im when I'm done with 'im, and I promise not to damage the goods (too much).
