It Wasn't About the Teasing--part two

Continued from above.

The thing was that I was trying to clear the air between her and me....  And it's also possible that I wasn't tactful enough with her?  I should've focused more on myself and my concerns rather than on trying to ask her or to get her to admit she was gay...!  I realize that now....  Before the hearing she never wanted to admit she was gay and even wanted to deny it....  (And she was under psychiatric care, which I have proof of.)

When I went to the hearing, I hadn't processed my thoughts well enough because I'd had hardly any experience in dealing with gay people...and hardly any experience in the courts....  So, I didn't really think about what I was saying and how it sounded.

To recap, the transcripts show that the adjudicator was debating against me partly because he wasn't trained in sexual harassment and partly because I spoke of my landlady's sexual orientation.  And it wasn't really about me teasing him or what happened afterward....  I spoke incorrectly of my landlady...and therefore, I want to disqualify myself from prosecuting my landlord/tenant case--which I'm saying retrospectively....  I had a "learning experience" and the experience just got a little bigger!

Again, as far as the teasing went, I don't even want it to be an issue....  And I'll update my Waterlily blogs, as needed and as I can....
