Okay, just last week DP and I were trying to catch a plane headed to Northern California to see some of her relatives and do a little sightseeing in San Francisco. I stood in line with Julia, who was in the Ergo carrier, to our check bags while DP got our extra bags we left in our friend's car.

As I stood in line there was a man staring very hard at Julia and I; however, I ignored him and just went about my business.
"Is that Japanese baby yours?" he uttered starkly with breath that smelled like Budwieser beer. "Yes" I stated "and she Chinese-American not Japanese?". "That's just *messed* up!" he screamed. I had a dazed look on my face and a few of the passengers-to-be stared at us. My heart started to race and my knees felt weak. "What did you just say?" I stammered "I said that just *messed* up! he repeated "First our Brothers are marrying White women and now our Sisters are marrying slanted-eyed c***ks! Your husband's one of those technology geeks ain't he cause thats the only reason a sister would marry a *C*- for money!!" "No" I stated "my partner and I are both African-American and -". "PARTNERS!" he interrupted even louder "as in LESBIAN PARTNERS! Now thats really *messed* up two *D's* with a slanted-eyed baby!! This world I live in is a bunch of **** and is filled with confused familes". By now, nearly all the passengers were staring at us and a few of the agents behind the ticket counter looked uncomfortable too. Tasha was also in line by now and had heard a little bit of the conversation. "Or maybe your just *messed* up because interracial and same-sex families are everywhere now!" I said in a shaky voice while looking at him right in the eye. " You know" Tasha said to him in a very calm voice, "if your not comfortable with our family's ethnic and sexual makeup, you need to either keep your thought to yourself or have us to call airport security on you for harassment. Take your pick!". After DP make that statement in looked at us in a cruel way and walked away.

I never thought that in this day and age strangers could be so bold. It also shocked me that a AA person said this to us. I usually hear from other transracial families that CC people make most of the rude and nasty comments but I guess that wasn't the case this time. We also think we was drunk because of the way he smelled but we don't know for sure... Hopefully we can put this all behind us and never have to face a situation like this again.


PS: In case your wondering we made it to our flight on time and safely and had a awsome time in the Bay area. We also had no other incidents with our family on our trip.
