President Obama: "Are You Gay?" Guy: “Only When I’m Having Sex!”
總統Obama: 你是同性戀?  民眾：當我做愛的時候是

Daniel Rugg Webb, a 32-year-old cashier at Franklin Barbecue in Austin,
Texas, had been hearing the rumor all day on Thursday: President Obama was
stopping by. He and his co-workers didn’t give much credence to the idea—
that is, until eight secret service agents, and then some, walked into the
restaurant in the afternoon.

Daniel Rugg Webb，32歲，在德州奧斯丁的富蘭克林烤肉店擔任收銀員，週四時一整天
都聽到歐巴馬總統要來用餐的傳聞，他跟同事們在午後八個特勤人員
與一群人走進餐廳之前，都不太相信這件事。


“[They] frisked everybody, which was kind of my favorite part,” Webb
recalled in an interview with BuzzFeed Saturday night. “Then he just showed
up.”

"我最感興趣的一個部份就是他們探測在場各位的身之後，他(Obama)接著就出現了"
Webb在訪談中回憶起。

Webb, who is also a comedian and retired musician, wasn’t about to miss his
opportunity to say whatever he wanted to a sitting president. So, after he
had introduced himself and the president was signing a reportedly $300 bill,
he slammed his hand on the counter.



“Equal rights for gay people!” he exclaimed.
Obama reacted without missing a beat. “Are you gay?”
Taken aback by the directness of the question, he said, Webb responded, “
Only when I’m having sex!”

"同志平權！"
"你是同志嗎?" Obama毫無落拍的應對。
面對猝不及防的直接問題，他回: "當我做愛的時候我是！"

The president laughed, then, realizing there was a group of children near the
two, said, “Not in front of the kids!”
The two men bumped fists and that was that.

總統大笑，接著他查覺到他們兩人之間有一群小孩，他接著說:"別在小孩面前談這個!"
兩個男人接著撞擊彼此的拳頭。


“As a comedian, it was cool to have a moment where I was making a sitting
president laugh — over something that might be considered inappropriate is a
bonus,” Webb said of the experience.

"身為一個喜劇演員，能讓坐位上的總統發笑的確是個很酷的時刻，這是一種鼓勵，
尤其是那些也許被視為不適當的事，"

He said he had been hoping to get in a joke about Texas Governor Rick Perry,
who he described as “famously anti-gay.”

他說他一直都希望能夠對德州州長Rick Perry開一個玩笑，
Webb形容他是"出了名的反同志"

While Webb said he appreciates Obama’s social progressiveness, he expressed
hope that the president will close the gap between his own relative
forward-thinking on gay rights, and his general quietness on the anti-gay
views of many state leaders before he leaves office.

當Webb述及他欣賞Obama所帶來的社會進步時，他也希望總統能在卸任之前更能夠縮小他
自己相對進步的同志權利的想法，與他普遍對許多州長反同志的沉默，兩著之間的鴻溝。

“It would be interesting if he could call some people out for it. People can
use a lot of things—religion, freedom of speech—to be anti-gay, but I need
people to understand you can call people out for civil rights things,” Webb
said.

"假如他能夠喚起一些人，這會是很有趣的事情。人們都能用許多的事情，諸如宗教、
言論自由等來反同志，但我需要大家了解，你們能夠喚起人們對公民權的重視，"
Webb說


“We are an anti-gay state. We are a state with a whole bunch of hungry
children and sick old people, and [Rick Perry is] grandstanding on things
that will get him a better election,” Webb said. “And it’s glaringly
obvious. He’s kind of primitive in his social beliefs. I would like to see
Rick Perry negatively influenced by any kind of attention. Even Obama
laughing at something as, hopefully, acceptable as sexuality can show the
difference.”
