École des Bro-ArtsTBRU was both a lot of fun and also highly cursed
They organized a trip to Great Wolf Lodge, a water park in Dallas. Maybe sixty bears on two buses. Got all the way to the lodge and they send us to some random back entrance instead of through the main doors. Then we mill around for 15 minutes and the coordinator informs us that the aquatic director has declared that speedos are not permitted, as this is a "family friendly" resort. We can only wear board shorts. Guess what a bunch of us are wearing. 🙃
So I, having only brought a speedo, book a cab 22 miles back to the hotel. Some of our group stay and decide to see what happens. I heard later that day that Great Wolf security accosted one of us for wearing a square-cut bathing suit, told us if this continued they would eject our entire group, and threatened to call the cops for our "vulgar" outfits.
Huge Fedi report energy 🤣
The following day a group of eight of us, all gays, were walking home from a dance when a car pulled up and started yelling at us while we were waiting for the crosswalk. When we crossed the street the driver peeled out, busted the red, and tried to hit us. He spun around at the end of the block as we ran for cover, gunned it, and came zooming back for a second pass. Came within a couple feet of hitting us both times. JFC.
He zooms away. We're all shaken, but just a couple blocks from the hotel, so we keep walking. A few minutes later, crossing the street to the hotel, we hear squealing tires and honking. Dude comes barreling round the corner and tries to hit us again, splitting the group in two.
A tense standoff ensues as he halts in the middle of the street, shouting at us. "Where do you work at, dressed like that?" Nobody's taking the bait; we're behind trees, trying not to escalate.

That's awful. These dudes are always cowards, too, which just makes it so much worse. 😔
