I was chatting with a acquaintance who l haven't seen in person for a few years.
He told me he was going to see The Pet Shop boys at Radio one Party in Blackpool.
I asked who else were playing.. l said l don't like The Pet Shop boys music.. never have.
He then said to me " that's because you're a homophobic ".
I was gob smacked.
I said half my family and friends are gay including my daughter .
I even go to Pride with them.
He put his hand up in front of my face as if to say .. stop talking.. laughed at me and said " if you say so" and walked off.
I have now blocked him on my social media/ WhatsApp etc.
I will probably see him at the local pride.. but will be with my daughter and her girlfriend ( they are 30).. would you just ignore him if l do? Or say something else?

Funny thing is.. he knows my Favourite artist is George Michael.
I'm always posting his videos.
I adore music.. one of my biggest passions.. from the 60s until now... all geners.
I'm 66 years old.
Wish l could have caught the expression on his face..
He meant every word...
( Might have been having a bad morning).. he's a very flamboyant guy .. think David Potts... very in your face and " look at me I'm gay .. kind of guy).
Also I've tried listening to the PSB's loads.. but we can't all like the same.. or we would be bah-ing.

’very in your face and look at me im gay’

Ahhh so you are homophobic!

Having gay friends and family does not make you exempt from being homophobic.

Disliking someone's music doesn't make you homophobic.

Some people go out of their way to be offended by nothing, don't they?
