My boyfriend and I were sitting on the Bus together at night, when we realized that an old creepy guy kept staring at us. We both wear gaybow bracelets, so it isn’t new to us that people sometimes stare. So we just continued talking and joking around until we were nearing the old mans stop.

He got up early and started walking towards us, my boyfriend pointed it out and as I turned around he was already standing next to me, sticking his phone into my face. We were both confused as to what was happening and tried asking him what’s going on. He then signaled to us that he is deaf. In surprise I take a closer look at his phone and saw that he had typed something on it. “You have a really beautiful girlfriend, please don’t let her go”.

While we were both flattered, we also tried to make it clear to him that my boyfriend was… a boy. I quickly took out my phone and explained it to him through text. The moment he realized that we were two guys in a relationship his face lit up almost instantly. He was so happy for us, handing out high fives and giving thumbs up.

We arrived at his stop and as he was leaving the bus he was waving at us, then waiting for the bus to leave, so he could wave us goodbye one last time.
