So 3 friends, 2 guys and a gal. We'll rename them Bob, Dick & Dora.
Bob tells me this story. I got him to write down the quotes as best he could remember. Might be out but he reckons its "as close as a photo (whatever that means) but the background is...
All in there 50s, they've been friends since ever.
None are related, all are in happy relationships but not each other.
All sitting in the pub having a quiet beer talking crap as Australians are sometimes want to do
Then on the pub TV a news story about LBGTQI+ rights and/or inequality or such like.
Bob said everything was fine until Dick said "Ah for f**ks sake, spare me, put the bloody radio on"
The publican knows Dick & Dora very well and starts chuckling. But because he knows those 2 well, he's chuckling for a reason most wouldn't know.
To the publican we'll cal Fred, it was about to get funnier.
I didn't get told if it was a man or a lady or a person of some other gender etc but I was told a by Bob that "This loud screechy idiot with peircings, weird clothes & a half shaved head cam over & got stuck into Dick"
The abuse was pretty stinging, about bigotry, intolerance & bullying attitudes that cause deep offence, hate, division that can cause people to kill themselves.
Bob said Dora replied "F**k me, the way you're shooting yourself in the foot with a bullshitter's gun you'll bleed to death soon enough anyway ya f**k wit. Maybe try pissing off away from us you ****"
Dora is a great scout, but blunt. Never violent or threatening, just very straight forward and sweary.
Met her a few times. She's honest as the day is long & not a malicious bone in her body.it,
Bob said at this point a band of young unique looking youths in the early 20s were getting pretty loud and rude. To top it off and yes to make things worse the publican was in tears laughing trying "Stop, stop..."
Dick just kept yelling bullshit, eff off and the publican's wife heard the noise and rolled up. She is one formidable woman and all the noise promptly stopped and then it all came out. Some of the youth were not straight are were wild and the others came to back them up.
The Publican's wife called the young ones the stupidest turds to ever come out of an arse because Dick & Dora are both gay. There was some stunned silence. One of the youths tried to crank up but Dora said "Look there's 3 of us here enjoying a beer after work, talking crap and no body cares that we're gay or left f**king handed & we're over the bullsh!t rainbow colour victim parade from young tools like you. You're the one f**king it up for everyone & dividing everyone. Go find a f**king bandsaw & divide yourself"
The Publican is trying not to laughing, he's making weird squeaking noises as he's fully restraining to the point of bursting. His wife launches into him for letting this go on. He's the one in trouble now. She turns to the youths and says they can stay but stay in line or get thrown out & banned.
It was at this point Bob...the only straight one out of the 3 friends had to ask a question of the youths.
He asked "So now its all calm can I ask a genuine question is it good or bad to judge people by their LBGTQI status or not?"
Apaprently the loudest & most verbally stabby youth said calmly said no it most certainly is not.
Bob says he realised afterwards that perhaps that was the perfect time to say "Ok Thanks" & then shut up but instead said one more thing...
"Well maybe if you stopped screaming about the differences maybe no one would know & no one would care"
Dora apparently said "A-f**king- Men, end of sermon d**kheads, now f**ck off"
Now this is where you might think all hell would broke loose and well it kind of did. Upon hearing Dora's comment the publican lost control roared laughing and fell back off his stool behind the bar.
His wife yelled at him once & just walked out as the youths went back to their table silently, finished their drinks and left.
Bob said the next session is going to be as boring as hell. He hopes there's something good on the TV.
I might go too but wish I'd gone last time.
People pay top dollar for a good floor show, that'd would have be an unbeatable night out.
Dick apparently told Bob that it goes to show...male female, straight, queer or even a truckie's dog and make a total arse of themselves. Publican bought them three the next 4 rounds. Kept muttering something about gold, Dora just told him "Thanks, cheers...ya d**khead"
