This was posted by [livejournal.com profile] hazard77506 in the Houston_texas community and I feel compelled to share.

On Saturday evening my boyfriend and I were driving on
Kirby. While stopped at the traffic light on Westheimer, we
kissed, only to be interrupted by someone honking their horn at
us from behind. When we turned around, we saw a guy and his
friend yelling at us. They yelled that we were FAGS and that we
should die and go to hell. They followed us down the road
yelling and harassing us. They made a right on Shepherd but
not before letting us further know their views on homosexuality.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens quite often without us
being able to do anything about it. These idiots didn't realize,
however, that they were in a bright yellow hummer that had their
company phone number, 713 TICKETS, in big font . The first
thing we did was call the number to find out who was driving the
car. It turns out the owner and one of his assistants were the
people shouting at us. The receptionists apologized for
his boss' behavior and gave us the boss' name, Kent
Maree. His assistant, who was also shouting obscenities at us,
is Max Velazquez.
A friend of mine, who is black, called Kent this morning to ask if
this is the way he treats all minorities. Kent responded by saying
that it is a free country and he can express his views as he
wishes. He also let my friend know that Fags choose to be fags
and they should burn in hell.

Since this is a free country, I urge you all to please give Kent a
call and let him know your opinion on the way he expresses his
views and his business practices. Pass this on to as many
people as you know so that they too can give Kent and Max a
piece of their mind. Their number is 713TICKETS.

Thanks for you help.

though i also question if it is real. lots of times people make shit like that up to get other people to harass someone for other reasons. i think before someone reposts they should call and find out if the person at the other end really is what they say. then again i can't be bothered with calling either way :-)

I say, call local news stations with this. Some young reporter will want this story, no doubt.

With the state's Governor basically telling gays to get out of Texas, this kind of crap has to met head-on.
