Hi Ziggy - I am so sorry the world is full of dirty - scared - cowards - no doubt he has something in his eye - you are a Wonkette treasure - and your Sketchy Pigeons and Harry and Weed and just generally being a friend to all of us Wonketteers is wonderful - I’ve been missing in action a lot lately (I’m gonna have to find out what Momette is mad about now) - just hang in there -
Let’s just point out that this “Man “, was also taking the bus, Alone…. I wonder why that could be?!?!
It doesn’t matter what someone identifies as, bullies will always try to find someone to hate on, because of their own insecurities. If it wasn’t you, it could have been someone of a different race or a lesbian that likes to dress in T-shirt, shorter hairstyle, shorts with a sports bra, and flip flops.
I don’t know you, or your personality, but next time get Loud and make everyone stare at the Dumbass who was trying to pick on you! Idiots like that are just ignorant for whatever reason and they bully people to take the focus off of them and put onto others. It’s called redirecting!
Someone who doesn’t want to look in the mirror at themselves for whatever reason. Ridiculous
It isn’t just sexual orientation these hate animals prey upon. I am on vacation in the Philippines with my Filipino girlfriend. We were sitting in a restaurant when a fellow American approached our table. He was a visiting musician from Texass (this is not a typo, it is how I spell Texas) and we talked a bit about different things. While he and I were talking, my girlfriend was talking with his wife and daughter. What the little girl told my girlfriend made me hang my head in shame. It seems American, the melting pot of the world, the beacon for the oppressed, was not very kind to this little mixed race girl. It seems this family left Texass, because the little girl was being bullied because of her heritage. There are many things America can take pride in, but bullying a little girl because of her race is not one of those things. The Statue of Liberty is weeping right now because we are failing to live up to the idea of, America, land of opportunity for everyone.
Sorry, I’m with the guy who said it was too bad you couldn’t shoot him.
Since I retired in 2019, my sister and I have been going out to Planned Parenthood and harassing the anti-abortion protesters. We’ve even picketed their churches on Sunday morning, driving a couple of them away from their congregations entirely so we’d stop showing up.
I know. I wouldn’t, you know, DO it. But can’t I dream of John Wick riding to your rescue and giving your assailant what he deserves? Things like this make me incredibly angry. Why do people insist on hurting others who aren’t doing a damn thing to you.
Sorry this happened to you. You did not in any way deserve what happened to you, and if I’d seen it, I’d have had your back. Guess I shoulda said that in the first place.
Ugh. My heart. I don’t understand this kind of hatred. What about you did this monster find threatening? I wish all these ugly people would go back under their rocks that TFG let out. I’m so sorry even writing about this brings you to tears. Love and strength to you.
I have to say, I have had many gay and lesbian friends over the years, and maybe it’s because they have been victimized themselves, but they have been some of the most compassionate, kindest friends in my life. One time I was out dancing with an old friend of mine (who has since passed) who happened to be gay. I was really pretty in my 20’s (long behind me) and some fucking Chad came up to me and told me I was dancing with “a faggot” and should be with HIM (Chad) and not my friend. I turned to him and said “He may be gay but he’s clearly a WAY better human than you are, AND better looking, so ima stick with HIM. Get lost loser.” I will ALWAYS call people out for bigotry of ANY kind. I lack what you might call “a healthy level of fear” of these assholes.
"Either you’re a liar or crazy, that doesn’t happen in Manhattan." And no one would vandalize 160 Pride flags right in front of the Stonewall Inn. Oh, wait ...
Ziggy I am so sorry!! I use to be bullied when I was an about 9 years old on the school bus and it is terrifying!! If these bullies were bullied, they would stop that shit cause they would be scared as well! Also, my son was gay and the hate that people have towards others is heartbreaking. When my son wanted to talk one day and told me, he was in the 9th grade. I told him there was nothing that would change how much I loved him and I supported him and still do. I also knew of the hate in peoples hearts and that some people have lost their lives because of it. I just went ahead and sorta got suited up and was always on standby for any bullshit that may try to pile up! I was locked and loaded and READY for any fool who thought about or tried to hurt my son!!! I don’t care who anyone is or the way that they live their life cause we have the right to do so! Some are so miserable with their own self and that is really why or where all the aggression comes from. It still hurts and it is still uncalled for and a good way to still get their ass leveled!! I DO NOT TOLERATE BULLYING, ANY ABUSE, OR ANY INJUSTICE PERIOD! I might get my ass leveled but I will always step in to help anyone go is being mistreated. I’m proud of you for telling about this and how it affected you. I hope that with some time and healing that it won’t be as bad on you always. I know from experience from mental and physical abuse that some things will never be completely healed (no matter what anyone says). We will always remember things that were either the happiest or the most painful moments. I’ve learned that sometimes people don’t deserve a reaction from us cause that’s what some want but some people do cause some things just should not have been said or done period! I wish you nothing but peace☮️love💟and happiness🕉️Always be you completely and be courageous❣️Sending you lots of Love♥️♥️♥️and Hugs🤍🤍🤍
My best friend is a true Christian in every way possible. I have never heard her say anything bad about anyone. She has taught me how to be the person I am today even with all my unchristian complaining. Love is who she is for anyone that needs her. She always in the 30 plus years I knew her she always wore a rainbow tag she always had a rainbow decal on her rear window. A long time ago I asked her why and she told me it signified God’s promises not specifically about not flooding the earth but just her trust in his promises. I’m not religious but I do see her as blessed for her goodness to everyone. I always think of her beliefs when I see her rainbow on anyone who wears or displayed a rainbow. To me it mostly signifies love. Anyway, I just wanted you to know you are loved.
I missed the original post. Just read it and a good bit of the comments. I want to say that you did exactly the right thing in that very dangerous situation. I know it was the right thing because you came out the other side alive and physically unharmed. That was the goal and the best outcome of a terrible situation that was forced on you. You were and are brave and able to make the best choices in a bad situation.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. People like that are a waste of oxygen imo. Your life is worth so much more. ❤️ I say Happy Pride every day of the year not just June 🌈 And kitty looks incredibly beautiful in that pic 😍
We love you, girl!

I’ve had a bellyful of these people.
Opening fire on a city bus is a very, very bad idea.
I know. I wouldn’t, you know, DO it. But can’t I dream of John Wick riding to your rescue and giving your assailant what he deserves? Things like this make me incredibly angry. Why do people insist on hurting others who aren’t doing a damn thing to you.
