I hope he plans on making the rounds of the bars in D.C. During the 25 years I worked in NY State’s prison system, there was little tolerance among the blacks for homos, and those who behaved like girls. Some homos would use powered red Kool-Aid to color their lips, and use other items for eye shadow. Hispanics had a higher rate of tolerance for homos within the prison system. When I first became a correction officer, there was an older Hispanic inmate that had gotten hormone shots and had breasts. He was uglier than sin. None of the other inmates really wanted to have anything to do with him, and they constantly made jokes about him.
