"What Is This?'



Today I volunteered with Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgendered Advocacy and Youth Services at a community fair sponsored by the police.
It was probably one of the most fun days I've had this summer.
We got there around eight and began setting up. The fair didn't begin until ten, but people started showing up as early as nine so it was really nice that we got there early. We stood around the table for a little while and talked to people that came by.
Now, our table is about gay people and them being bullied, but it also focused on preventing STDs...So, instead of giving out candy like the rest of the tables, we handed out condoms.
It was actually kind of funny. We had old women come to the table and several times, they would hold one up and ask me, "What is this?" Then when I told them, they would either drop it in shock or start laughing. I never, ever, in my life wanted to hear about how many of them didn't need them anymore. XD
Then the mother of a boy I went to middle school came by and got some for her son who was to nervous. She had me walk up to him and give them to him, which was kind of funny because his face was priceless.

It got really funny when my friend William showed up. We are the reason that gay people have sterotypes. We were just having too much fun, laughing at stupid things that we could do. Wanna know the best ways to get kicked out of place?
(We didn't do all of these)
1. Try and claim a child at the lost place, claiming to be his mother when you're obviously a boy.
2. Ask a soldier of the same sex, "If I don't ask and don't tell, can I still stare from a distance?"
3. Ask the people that are teaching science, "Do you have the science to make me a boy?"
4. Have a younger person go up to the boy scouts with another male's arm around him and have him say, "Oh my gosh, my daddies were in this! I want to join!"
5. Get hot dogs and see who can make the other person gag first by telling the most pervy jokes while you eat them.

We only did the science and hot dog ones.


Anyway, it was a really fun event and despite the thousands of people, we only got one bad comment.
The bad comment wasn't even meant for us to hear, I just overheard a woman tell her friend, "We don't like the gays."
Other than that, it was so much fun.~
