Bee-otched For: giving me my #MeToo moment
--
In the past few weeks, many celebrities and politicians have all seen their careers blow up because of sexual encounters.
Harvey Weinstein, Louis C.K., Roy Moore, Kevin Spacey and now Minnesota Senator Al Franken have all been accused of groping and harassing women and men. Some of those people were only teenagers. The people who have made these accusations have all created the hashtag #MeToo, alerting people that they've been sexually harassed or even assaulted.
Well, I have a #MeToo story.
In 2010, my cousin and I used to hang at Mulligan's Bar here in Grand Rapids. During Super Bowl night, I was pulled over for alleged drunk driving and I blew a .06, under the legal limit. So, I decided to avoid drinking from Midnight on when I'm at the bar.
One night a few months later, I was at Mulligan's alone and wondering if my cousin would show up. He didn't. So, I stopped drinking and hung out in the back by the pool tables. Suddenly, this tall black dude asked me "hey man, where's your drink?" "I'm done drinking for the night. I gotta drive home." So, this guy decided to draw me a map of streets to take where there weren't many cops. Then, he asked me to come over to hang out with him at his place. I did, without the suspicion that he was gay.
So anyway, I went over to his apartment and he gave me a beer to drink. He told me that he didn't have cable - only locals - so he put it on his favorite show, Desperate Housewives. Then, he told me that he had a bunch of movies, including straight porn and gay porn. I was like, "so, you're gay?" He said, "well, I'm bi, but I'm mostly towards guys".
Whoo-boy.
As the night lingered on, Desperate Housewives went off and the straight porn was on. During this time, this asshole was pressuring me to sit next to him. I declined. Things were only going to get worse from there on. While watching a scene showing two men having sex with a woman at the same time, the asshole started pleasuring himself and then, he unzipped his pants and started masturbating in front of me. I was sickened. I casually walked out of the living room into his bathroom. I grabbed my shoes and jacket and he was like, "why are you going?" "It's getting late. I'm going home." "Next time you come over, bring some of your pornos, will ya?" I was outta there.
I had a beard at the time, so I shaved it off. Every time I went to Mulligan's and their sister, Billy's Lounge, it seemed that he was there. Thankfully, he didn't recognize me and I avoided him. It was one huge reason why I decided to avoid Easttown bars altogether. My bar life was over since I was now in my 30s and I didn't drink all that much as-is. I even went back to Mulligan's earlier this year because I had a date with a woman I met online. Thankfully, he was nowhere to be seen.
What this asshole did to me was SICK. Not to mention, it made me think differently about gay men. A few years ago, I started attending a church here in GR that accepts the LGBTQ community. Why? Because my family wanted me to be baptized and I didn't want to go to a church that's ultra-conservative. Thankfully, I haven't met any jerks there that resembled said harasser.
The point is, this is why some men HATE gay people. They hate it when women act so cold towards them and then some dude hits them up. Maybe that's why some guys will go to great lengths to harass women. Sometimes in life, when some asshole does crazy shit like the aforementioned douchebag did, ya gotta turn the other cheek and walk away.
Right, Eddie?
