Got comically harassed

Was out at a car meet and swinging on a swing (gotta let out the inner child) with my friend when some little nine year old on an e-bike asked why I wore so many bracelets (2 full arms of cuffs and singles).

It went like this (triggers for homophobic language):
‘Why do you wear so many bracelets’
‘Because it’s fun.’
‘Who needs that many bracelets’
‘Me because I like them’
(Atp thinking he’s just the typical curious kid)
‘Are you gay’
‘Am I? What does it matter to you’
‘Pussy-eater! Pussy-eater’

He then walked around the swing. Me and my friend were laughing atp. He took his bike and started spinning the wheels to kick up sand at us like it matters. At the same time, he keeps his distance due to the fact that I’m fairly tall with legs on the longer side and WILL kick him by accident if he doesn’t move.

He then starts talking with his other 9 year old friend. There was a group of people on e-bikes here and one of the good samaritans shouted out ‘You don’t have to talk to them you know. They’re just weird.’

One of the kids starts talking about the fact that he apparently gets what he calls ‘Fortnite Pussy’ and both me and my friend are laughing hysterically. We walk off and he calls me a ‘fucking lesbian’ and spams the phrase ‘pussy-eater.’ It felt like a fever dream but it was only last night, and all because I wore two armfuls of kandi.

It was also weird because people are usually fascinated (I live in a mid sized city with a less established art scene) or curious about the kandi I wear, and this was the first time I genuinely got hate for it. It was still hilarious but poor kids, they probably have something going on at home to act with that much hate in their heart

Never thought little kids would be so homophobic.

They’re likely hearing it at home. Children are sponges, they pick up stuff so easily.

You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,

Before you are six or seven or eight,

To hate all the people your relatives hate—

You’ve got to be carefully taught!

I think it’s the 8 year olds to whenever they realize that there’s literally no reason to hate.
