My Bali gay slur #2
Crashed out in my Bali hotel room, I was rudely awakened by an early-morning call from the Bali Tourist Board. A shrill English woman said that I was invited to an official reception promoting Balinese tourism and that I should bring my wife.
"I'm travelling with a friend," I explained.
"Male or female?"
"Male."
"Is he your... erm... partner?"
"No. He's a fat lad in a football shirt."
Apparently, this ruled out our attendance. Instead, my gay-accusing early-morning tormentor promised to send me a T-shirt. Hopefully, one bearing the slogan "I AM NOT GAY!"
It never arrived.
