I used to think that I was until a few weeks ago. Like many Friday evenings, I look forward to closing out my work week crushing beers at my favorite spot with my lady, any number of friends, family members and/or acquaintances that happen to be around, and are willing to watch me get dumber by the swig. This particular Friday was slightly different though as I had a run-in that was absolutely a first in my lifetime.
I met a gay drug dealer.

Let that sink in...really digest that for a minute.
If you are reading this and say “so what”, then piss off and just stop reading now because my head was spinning from this encounter and your open-mindedness will not be tolerated! Call it ignorance, call it immaturity, whatever you please, but I felt like I had just discovered some mythical being that only existed in folklore and bad dreams of children. I have bought my fair share of narcotics in my earlier years and never, EVER was the seller like this dude at the bar who drunkenly gushed about his alleged 'six-figure bank account'. There's always a form of macho, toughness with most drug dealers, but this dude's bravado was a little, how should I put this...off. Instead of talking about which rapper is the hardest, or 'Scarface' quotes, this entrepreneur was more interested in bragging about 'The Hankey Code' and his extensive knowledge of it.
Three things were blatantly clear about this dude from the onset:
1. – He was gay
2. – He was a drug dealer
3. – He had poor oral hygiene


Observation #3 is completely irrelevant to this story aside from the fact that it does dispel one stereotype of gays being a neat, clean and tidy people. I figured I do enough to reinforce bad stereotypes on here, so why not score one the other way for once.
Anyways, I’m sitting there with a friend, who also seemed a little perplexed at the combination of this guy’s sexual preference and occupation, but he could at least speak. The two of them started to bullshit about the quality of ‘Sub-Zero’ refrigerators while I zoned out hardcore, pondering the life of a homosexual drug dealer.
I guarantee this little Lance Escobar sells ecstasy. Though this logic appeared in mere nanoseconds, I will explain how it came to fruition:
He is gay -> Gays like to dance -> People dance at raves -> Raves play techno -> Techno is gay -> Boom! Ecstasy dealer!

The slowed down thought process is astounding!
So now that my stereotype-based logic has established Manuel Noriegaya’s product line without him even saying a word, the dominoes just kept falling from there. Thoughts and questions rushed through my head like a flash flood! I explored the possibilities of what the 'Liberace of LSD' would do in the circumstance of being stiffed (ignore pun) when it came to payment. My brain simply won’t allow me to picture a badass gay holding a 9mm in somebody’s face demanding money. It plays out much more light-hearted and hysterical where they are prancing and screaming and holding a gun as far away from their body as possible by pinching it between the thumb and index finger. And the handle of said pistol is either rhinestone or some glittery pink. Trust me, after 5 minutes, I realize how off this probably is, but my brain makes the snap judgments, not me.



Remember that scene in ‘Half Baked’ where Bob Saget’s character said he used to suck dick for coke?
Well after meeting the gay drug dealer, I started to realize not only does this actually happen, but he probably looks at it as a perfectly acceptable form of payment, like when eBay started to accept PayPal.

As quickly as this encounter began, it ended without any grand finale. I turned around from my daze of deep thought and stereotype reinforcement and dude was gone. While staring at my half-full beer for what seemed an eternity, I retreated back into my bizarre, ignorant thought process to give consideration to what else could be out there that I never even thought of. Aliens and yeti aside, I kept it on the human level. Here’s what I came up with that I still am yet to meet or see in person:
Black Cowboy


Ok smartass, Darius Rucker 100% does NOT count. He made a country album, big deal. Country is probably the easiest genre of music to succeed in because people will listen to ANYTHING being said on a country album.
Asian Truck Driver


I may have to rethink this one because if I do ever encounter one, it could literally mean impending death. I’m afraid of Asians driving a Scion, so to think of one driving a tractor trailer filled with Kim Chi ready to fuck my shit up sounds like a scenario I’d prefer to circumvent.
Straight Priest

that's just wrong...

still not a straight priest...

Ok, so covering faith, music and sports, I am yet to find a straight priest! Who knew?!
Female President



I hear your cries of “SOMEDAY!” and I agree fully, just not today.
This enlightening experience has opened my mind to new possibilities, made me realize there’s still plenty to learn, and confirmed that I will never, EVER go to a rave. Mr. Gay Drug Dealer, you be safe out there, for your profession is not for the faint of heart. Keep pitching that product, and always have gay pride, and if you ever get that pistol, remember to tilt it to the side.

PEATH HOMIETHS!
