So I'm in the Castro today at a local cafe and I start reading a new book entitled Sissyphobia. This book "explores those negative feelings that are aimed at people termed fairies, faggots, flamers and queens."

Ok, so I just crack open the book and guess what? I hear on the overhead speakers my ex's favorite song (at the time of our relationship). This is the ex that once called me "extremely fem" in a very negative reference behind my back. What an appropriate way to begin this read.
