I had a weird experience today.
I was paying for my car’s repair and the young woman cashier had on heart-shaped, rainbow flag earrings. ️
I commented that I liked them, and she showed me her matching ring and said, Happy Pride!”
Nobody has ever said that to me, and I was caught off guard. I think I said something super-lame like, “you, too!” and I can’t stop thinking about the interaction.
I missed a chance to say to this person that I completely support #LBGTQIA ️
and #Trans
️⚧️ people… There’s a chance I offended or disappointed them with a lukewarm (at best) response. I thought about it all the way home and almost called the cashier’s office, but then chickened out. I’m not even sure what I would’ve said.
I wish I wasn’t such a dumbass.
