Episode 6: Chris Recognizes the Lesbian
As a conservative Christian, Andrea would never touch alcohol. As a drama major, however, she could convince anyone she was drunk.
"Can I have that Grande package I ordered now?" Andrea giggled loudly as they entered Zack's apartment, her words slurred.
"Shhh! My roommate is probably sleeping!" Zack replied.
"No I am not!" Chris laughed from inside his apartment.
As soon as he saw Andrea, however, Chris's smile turned into a scowl. "What's going on here?"
"What's it look like?" asked Zack.
"I know what it looks like," Chris said, "But I also know you're not going to sleep with her. She's a lesbian!"
"I would appreciate it if you wouldn't slander my girlfriend!" Zack roared.
"I have seen her at several queer rallies, and I will not have her in my dorm!"
"Maybe I am bisexual," Andrea giggled.
Chris feigned interest, asking hopefully, "Really?"
"This queer has 10 seconds to get out of my dorm, or I am calling the police for trespassing!"
"She is my guest, and has every right to be here!"
"You cannot afford this apartment on your own. If she is still here in the morning, I will request a new dorm!"
Stomping out of the room, Chris slammed the door behind him.

Episode 5: Homophobic Waitress
Brian walked into the diner, exhausted from his evening jog.
He saw a couple in a corner booth. The woman was sobbing, and the really cute guy was trying to console her. It really touched his heart.
Picking a seat where he could watch the couple, he checked his wristwatch. He was just a few minutes early. There was no sign of Tommy.
"I'm waiting on someone, but I will take a coffee while I wait," Brian told the waitress when she came over.
"Do you know the story on the couple in the corner?" he asked her.
"Yeah, she's a queer who's momma kicked her out of the house."
Brian tried to not let his disgust for her blatant homophobia as he responded, "And the guy?"
"Don't know. They've only been talking about her troubles since he came in. I hope he's not one too, he's way too cute to be a fudge packer."
"Did you know that I am also a 'fudge packer', ma'am? Please try to conceal your homophobia!"
"Of course, all the cute ones are gay!" she muttered as she walked away.
Glancing over at the couple, he noticed she had stopped crying and was trying to tell some sort of joke.
The cute guy looked even cuter as he laughed in response.
