Not too long ago a San Diego newspaper ran a story about an usher at a ballgame who asked two lesbians to stop kissing, because they were disturbing some other fans. They were quite offended at this request. One comment published discussed how "everyday events can become traumatizing, because people think they have to stare or say something." (my paraphrase)
What the hell is wrong with these people? Trauma? Because somebody stares at you? Get over it. If you are going to do something that could possibly be considered offensive or even just unusual, you had better grow a thicker skin in a hurry. No, being stared at does not cause trauma. No.
If you want people to like you and accept you, stop making such a fuss over every little thing. Remember that saw about flies and vinegar? You'll catch more with honey. Same principle applies.
Bottom line: get a freakin' life!
