Edmonton Hash House Harriers (EH3)

This afternoon while having what was a peaceful walk out in the beautiful weather I ran across an interesting fundraiser... well more like it ran across me. There was about 40 men and women participating in the annual Edmonton Hash House Harriers' Red Dress Run to raise funds for the Zebra Child Protection Centre. I thought it was great and donated $20. But, this is where the greatness ends.

A couple minutes later a middle aged man wearing a dress walking just behind me on the High Level bridge was yelling to passersby that he's not gay and likes girls. He was yelling so loud I heard him over my iPod and traffic! Wow, he must be really insecure with his sexuality.

I obviously found him to be very offensive so I politely told him I'm gay and what he's saying is offensive. He didn't say anything in reply to me. I then continued on my way boiling with anger and feeling betrayed. By obnoxiously declaring he is not gay he's also saying he would not want to be gay as if there is something wrong with it. He was implying that there's something wrong with me.

Now I'm assuming the Zebra Child Protection Centre would not want a blatantly homophobic person representing them, therefore, I will be informing them of this incident. I don't think informing the Edmonton Hash House Harriers of this would do much good as they're just a drinking club. But I will try anyways, what's the worst that could happen? I get called a fag.


They were giving out these cards too.
