Thanks Bush.

Two guys come to my door tonight with their realtor. They are interested in renting this house when we move out in like two weeks. (HOLY CRAP!)

I show them around the house, they ask why we're moving and I say, oh we're moving back to Texas, we were only here in Miami for a year.

They ask, did you like it? I said, well parts of it are just beautiful, but I just couldn't adapt well to the culture.

Now, by culture I mean the Latin culture. See it's not racist if you say "culture". Miami is a place of being late to things, hot tempers, in your face rudeness, children running about like mad people, and have and have-nots (which are based on your latin country of origin). It's bizarre, and it's like A&M...From the outside looking in you can't understand it, from the inside looking out you can't explain it.

ANYWAY. Right after I say that, they look at my bookshelf. Because I'm anal, my books are organized by theme. We happened to be standing right in front of my religion shelf. It is packed full of books on Christianity, Islam and other religious natured books (mostly so I can be a Christian that doesn't like Christianity as it is exists in present day).

The tall guy says, I bet you're ready to get back to Texas...that's George Bush country isn't it. Huh? Glance at the religion shelf, glance at the two gay men, recall my culture comment...CRAP...I felt like Sarah Jessica Parker in "The Family Stone"...NO! I love the gays!!

I kept thinking about what to say, whatever came out of my mouth was going to sound stupid no matter how fast or hard I thought. I should say something about how I'm a landlord too, and the people renting my house in Houston are a gay couple...um...I have lots of gay friends...I gave money to HRC...um...my husbands family has members that are gay....ummmm.....but unfortunately all that came out was, "I didn't vote." .

They just said, oh...and kept walking around my house. I didn't mean the OTHER Miami culture (ie Birdcage). gawdarnit.

They left and gave me a polite smile and I over did it with my smile back to them, but I just wanted to bury my head in some Miami sand. I LOVE THE GAYS!
