Omosessuali: Stati Uniti, un paese che sta cambiando?

"[Arizona, Stati Uniti] sono andato con lo scrittore e regista Paul Festa a cercare un posto dove mangiare. Siamo riusciti a trovare solo un fast-food. Abbiamo ordinato senza scendere dall’auto, al drive-through. Accanto a noi c’era un’auto ferma piena di studenti. Poco dopo un’altra macchina ha imboccato contromano il vialetto, rombando, e ha frenato con una sgommata. Un ragazzo alto, biondo e visibilmente ubriaco, con la classica tenuta da college (jeans e maglietta sopra una maglia a maniche lunghe), è uscito barcollando e ha urlato: “Un figlio di puttana mi ha chiamato frocio!”. Il cassiere ha dato a Paul il suo milk-shake alla fragola. Paul e io siamo entrambi gay. Ci siamo scambiati uno sguardo preoccupato mentre il ragazzo andava avanti. “I miei genitori mi hanno tirato su bene”, ha continuato il biondo rivolgendosi agli studenti dell’altra auto, evidentemente suoi amici. “E io sono iero di quello che sono”. Paul e io ci siamo guardati di nuovo, stavolta con stupore. Un tizio muscoloso, con la faccia torva e un cappellino da baseball messo al contrario, è spuntato da dietro l’angolo. Era chiaramente lui ad aver dato del frocio al biondo. “Ti spacco la faccia!”, ha urlato il nuovo arrivato, seguito da un amico. Come la maggior parte degli omosessuali, anche io a volte mi sono sentito chiamare frocio. E ho visto amici rispondere a insulti omofobi. Ma non avevo mai assistito a nulla del genere: la scena sprigionava una strana e intensa teatralità, come se un regista stesse spronando il ragazzo da dietro le quinte. “Come ti permetti?”, ha strillato il biondo. “I nostri antenati sono venuti in questo paese per sfuggire alle loro religioni ed essere liberi. Come ti permetti, stronzo! Non sai che questo è il paese delle pari opportunità? Tornatene nel tuo cazzo di Connecticut con le tue due macchine e il garage!”. Il tipo muscoloso si è sgoniato di fronte a quell’invettiva quasi sensata. Ha alzato le spalle guardando l’amico e si è allontanato insieme a lui. Il ragazzo biondo li ha seguiti incespicando per un paio di minuti, continuando a sbraitare: “In questo paese posso sposare chi mi pare! Perché questo paese sta cambiando!”."

Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin
for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having
problems finding one? Thanks a lot!

You actually make it seem so easy together with your presentation however
I find this matter to be really one thing that I feel I'd by no means understand. It seems too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I'm taking a look ahead in
your next put up, I will attempt to get the grasp of
it!

What you typed was actually very logical. But, think on this,
suppose you wrote a catchier post title? I am not
saying your information is not good, but suppose
you added a post title that grabbed a person's attention? I mean "Omosessuali: Stati Uniti, un paese che sta cambiando?" is kinda boring. You should glance at Yahoo's
home page and see how they create article titles
to grab viewers to click. You might add a related video or a pic or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!

I rarely comment, however I browsed a few of the
responses on "Omosessuali: Stati Uniti, un paese che sta cambiando?".
I actually do have a few questions for you if it's okay. Could it be simply me or do some of these comments come across like they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I'd like
to follow everything new you have to post. Could you post a
list of the complete urls of all your social community pages like your linkedin profile,
Facebook page or twitter feed?

Hello, I do think your website may be having browser compatibility problems.
Whenever I look at your website in Safari,
it looks fine however, if opening in IE, it's got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Other than that, excellent website!
