I was a little uneasy reading this post, not because you detail an encounter with someone hitting on you that can't take a hint, but because of your overreaction to it. Yeah, the guy sounded off, but would you have used the same language if a woman you found unattractive hit on you? I very much doubt it. The language you use sounds an awful lot like, to you, gay equals creepy. And that's not cool. Women have had to put up with unattractive guys hitting on them forever, but have learned how to deal with those who don't take a hint. In a world where being gay isn't a shameful secret, guess what: guys will hit on dudes (both straight and gay) and if the pass is unwanted, the recipient will have to learn to deal with it. Without the attitude. And your posting the dude's address: passive aggressive. A violation much worse than someone hitting on you. It's not cool that the guy didn't take a hint, but maybe you should have been more direct - polite but direct. Someone finding you attractive isn't a crime. Hey there.
