UGLY REMARKS
Marty’s Giro in Simpson Bay is a great place to eat on the island. But this Thursday evening, the Rainbow Warriors (read local gay society) that congregate there for a discrete tête-à- tête got more than they could chew. Some local rich female (with a bad hairstyle and an inebriated proboscis) who unwisely bought land in Statia declared her distaste for the practice of zoning on the Historical Gem.
Unfortunate for her was the presence of a local historian who reaffirmed the importance of conserving the Island’s historical heritage and avoiding the catastrophic over development that has defaced the identity and thus image of St. Maarten.
“You are just a gay asshole,” she voiced with self proclaimed authority.
Needless to say, the camp followers were perturbed about the remark and became feint as robins. They referred to Marty, the owner for some kind of immediate resolution. None was forthcoming.
Nostradamus was also perturbed. Rich people have a habit of being oblivious to feelings and the eminent sear identifies with emotional damage especially when its source originates from the intellect of an ant. His mind recalls that wonderful retort of Winston Churchill when confronted by Lady Astor and her accusation that he was drunk. “Yes, madam, I am drunk. But in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”
Knowing Marty I would have thought he would have told the woman to leave, with a few swear words thrown in for good measure. Such people should be confronted for their bigotry and ugliness always in my humble opinion.
Glad to hear about Rainbow Warriors, as regular readers will know, I and other PE writers have often sought to defend their rights and to confront homophobia and hate speech that comes from religious nuts like Miguel Arindell and others.
Blacks and homosexuals: Brothers in Arms!

State and Church Separation?
Unfortunately Nostradamus forgot to mention he was the sole cause of the "ugly remarks" saga. The fact that there was a lady present or the so called lack of action from Marty is totally irrelevant. Sometimes people have to understand that one cannot say anything that comes to mind, especially when in company.
Unfortunately, it seems as if 'Anonymous' condones the practise of starting to swear at people. Perhaps the sense of conviction that the victim of the woman's verbal abuse sometimes uses when stating his views was too much for this female perpatrator of the verbal assault. But that should never be an excuse for starting to hurle abusive language at anyone. And that includes denigratinhg anti-gay remarks.
There is no excuse for calling people names.
As is generally known, people who start swearing:
a) know they're wrong
b) are drunk
c) lack the intellectual capacity to continue the conversation in a normal, more acceptable manner
d) fit all of the above descriptions
If 'Anonymous' cannot see that, he is just as much a contributor to the lowering of standards of everyday social intercourse as is the abusive woman.
