So, I finally decided to put one of my little rainbow pride flags in the back window of my car right? Because I’m proud of who I am, and it’s 2017; we are much more accepted in society.

Mental note: I have no other visible bumper stickers or anything in the car besides a Kirby plushie and my moms baseball caps

I’m driving down my road (which is 40mph) and I realized the guy behind me is riding my ass super fucking hard, and he’s swerving all over the road behind me. Like. Dangerously bad. Idk what this guys problem is. So i do a quick ‘break-check’ and then briefly speed up to 50 to get him off my ass and put a little distance between us, and he keeps speed with me.

He then speeds up way past 55, and drives into the literal opposite fucking lane trying to get next to me, and starts trying to drive me off the road. He pulls back and switches to the other size of my car and does the exact same thing. He doesn’t try to pass me; he tries to push me into oncoming traffic.

I slammed my breaks and quickly swung into the median, and he screamed “fucking faggot” at me as he flipped me off and sped past.

If you think homophobia doesn’t still actively threaten lives, hurt people, and isn’t a major issue; a 20 year old kid just almost fucking died because of a tiny pride flag.
