no good reason i had had a slur marked over my luggage. i was degraded. i was shamed, i was humiliated. some gay people are saying i am gay isn t a slur, it s not degrading, not shaming. on the other hand other gay people saying it was intended to offend that the suitcase owner should be applauded for taking what was a random act of cruelty and turning it into a teachable moments. the airline, jetstar, apologized and said it s investigating. others are merely joking. for instance the gawker poster wo wrote that s not a gay suitcase. this is a gay suitcase, with barbara streisand all over it. others proclaimed their bags bisexual. i have a carry-on bag with wheels on the bottom and backpack straps. it goes both ways. what is it about airports anyway. remember when ellen came out in the lounge? i m so afraid to tell people.
