Summarize the following:
Do not address the issue in front of other people. Make sure that you can talk to your friend one-on-one without anyone overhearing your conversation. You could invite your friend to have a cup of coffee with you or meet with them in a closed room or office. Try saying something like, "I was hoping we could talk about something. Do you have some time to talk privately?" Get straight to the point when you talk to your friend. Rather than beating around the bush, tell them you want to talk about the comment they made and how and why it offended you. For example, start the conversation by saying, "I've been thinking about what you said yesterday about my sexuality. I know you probably didn't mean anything by it, but it kind of bothered me and I wanted to talk about it." Remember, your friend is your friend for a reason. Chances are, they're a potential ally in the situation. If your friend cares about you, they probably don't want to offend you. Treat them like a potential ally who made a mistake rather than the aggressor. For example, say, "A lot of times, straight people don't really understand bisexuality. I know you weren't trying to be hurtful, so I just want you to understand me a little better." Remember, the goal is to educate your friend. It's therefore important your friend understands why the comment was disrespectful. This way, they won't make similarly offensive remarks in the future. For example, say, "I prefer to define my own sexuality and I don't need you to explain it for me. Also, bisexual people don't really see themselves as half-gay and half-straight. We have our own identity." During the conversation, make sure you don't come off as accusing your friend of being hateful or bigoted. Don't blame them or be too defensive either. Use "I" statements to ensure that you are only expressing your perspective. Even if your friend is prejudiced, they may react poorly if they feel personally attacked. Try to address the comment in a calm, objective way instead of attacking their character. For example, don't say, "I felt like you were being biphobic." Instead, say, "I felt like the comment was biphobic." People are not always receptive to criticism. Your friend may become defensive or make excuses. Calmly stand your ground if your friend does not want to listen to your criticism. It's important that you feel heard and your friend understands that your feelings were hurt. You can listen to your friend's side. In fact, it can be helpful. If your friend simply wasn't thinking, they may offer an explanation in addition to an apology. However, do not let an explanation be an excuse. Say something like, "Okay, I understand you meant that as a joke, but it really bothered me given the context." You can also ask your friend questions at the end of the conversation to ensure that they understand your perspective and will not make the comments again. For example, you could ask your friend, "Did you understand that those comments were offensive?" or "Can I rely on you to be more aware in the future before making this type of comment?"

summary: Talk to your friend privately. Bring up the issue calmly. Treat your friend as a potential ally. Share why the comment bothered you. Criticize the comment, not the person. Stand your ground.

Summarize the following:
Use a measuring tape to measure all 4 sides of your table, then add them together. This will tell you how much elastic you will need to buy. You will need to buy enough elastic for all 4 sides of your table, even if it will be up against a wall. If your table is circular, wrap the measuring tape around the perimeter. Wrap 58in (1.6cm) wide elastic around the edge of your table. Tie the ends together in the back of the table with a double-knot, or overlap them and secure them with a pin. Pin the elastic to the tablecloth every 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30cm) so that it doesn't slide off. Match the elastic color to the tulle. Fold-over elastic is a great option because it comes in many colors. Wrap the elastic tightly enough so that it doesn't slide off, but loose enough so that you can still slide your finger under it. They are about 6 inches (15cm) wide, and you can find them near the ribbon or wedding section of a craft or fabric store. If you can't find any, buy regular tulle off the bolt at a fabric store, then cut it into 6in (15cm) wide strips. Plan on getting 2 to 3 spools that are 100 yards (91m) each. You can use all 1 color, or you can use multiple colors for a more interesting effect. For example, you can use light pink and dark pink instead of just light pink. Try a rainbow of colors: pink, orange, pastel yellow, mint green, pale blue, and light purple. For a more magical display, consider using sparkly or glittery tulle. Measure the height of your table first, from the floor all the way to the table top. Double your measurement, then cut your tulle into strips that match that length. How many strips you cut depends on how much coverage you want on your table. Cut just a few for right now. Cut a piece of cardboard to the height of your table. Wrap the tulle around it, then cut the bottom edge to separate the strands. Take 1 strip and fold it in half so that the narrow ends match up. Slide the folded end behind the elastic to make a loop, then pull the 2 tulle tails through the loop to tighten the knot. Make sure that the folded end is pointing down when you slide it behind the elastic, not up. The tighter you make the knot, the fuller your tutu will be. Make sure that the knots are touching each other. If you leave too much space between the knots, your table tutu won't be very full. If you run out of strips, cut some more. If the table will be against a wall, you only need to cover the sides that will be visible. If a pin gets in the way, you may need to move it.
summary: Measure the circumference of your table. Wrap elastic around the table and secure it in the back. Purchase some spools of tulle. Cut your tulle into strips that are twice the height of your table. Secure the first strip to the elastic with a slip-knot. Continue to tie the tulle strips around the table until the elastic is full.
