Earlier this month, I put my foot so far into my mouth, I should have choked on it. I've said something so RIDICULOUSLY insensitive that I still find it hard to forgive myself for it...
I said it to my MY COUSIN & BEST FRIEND UNTIL THE END!!!
OK, so here's what happened. We were leaving a meeting that we were both attending together when he told me that he had a picture of us from 5 years ago.
When he brought the picture to me, my immediate reaction was -- the picture is so f-ing GAY!
What the heck was I thinking...why did I say that! Then I thought, I say that very often...I just didn't want to admit it to myself, or my gay cousin for that matter!
He was really cool with it, he told me that him and his friends say that all of the time. I still couldn't get with it because -- I felt like the biggest fool alive.
My point for this blog is to remind myself, and to encourage others to watch what we say. Especially around others. Some of our comments may be insensitive to others feelings, maybe not, but it's always good to know that you haven't hurt someone with your words unintentionally.
