1. I had no doubt that you were dead serious about your comment. That didn't make it any less offensive or wrong to me.
2. Unkindness always makes sad. Always has, always will. If you were to direct those comments towards me, I would probably get angry. Sissy, effeminate are not words that could be directed at me. I'm neither gay nor male, so why would they get me angry? When you use words to disparage someone because they are different from you, when they don't share your sensibilities, to make you look bigger, better, stronger, more powerful, it doesn't anger me, it saddens me. I keep hoping for a better, kinder, gentler world. I truly find it sad that we're not getting there.
