    Similar story getting pulled by a cop for speeding once. I’m gay, but used she/her when I told him, because I’m not a complete fucking moron.

    I was speeding, it was like 3am, this is after my state’s hilarious excuse for a lockdown, so all the businesses are closed at night now, and they will pull you any time they catch someone driving at night.

    Officer: where ya headed this time of night?

    Me: glances at the lube and condoms laying on the passenger seat “hookup with a chick I met online”

    Officer: Fuck yeah. Drive safe, buddy.

    And he fucking walked away. No other questions, did not ask to see my license, insurance, nothing. Just “go get you some, boy!” And that was it. Had I admitted it was a guy instead? I highly doubt the reaction would have been the same

      I similarly was meeting somebody (though a girl in my case). The only thing the border guy questioned regarding that was her age - which, fair enough and she was a year or two older than me - and then that was it.

      I’m guessing that cross-border seekers of love aren’t exactly uncommon since the Internet has been a thing.
