Seeing red

Anyone who's reading my journal directly (i.e., not via someone else's friends page) will notice that I've picked a distinctly red/pink colour scheme. Of course red is my favourite colour, but I'm doing this as a political ‘gesture’ too.

A couple of days, heading back to the office after lunch, we spotted this red sports car with lots of flowers and bees painted over it. A workmate commented, ‘whoever drives that car must be so gay’.

Now, I know that they meant it in jest (because I have a friend who says that sort of thing all the time, even with full knowledge of my sexual preferences), but I can't help feeling that I have to poke my tongue out at that. So there. :-P
