It's the day after Christmas, and I don't feel like a particularly long or heavy diary tonight. So here's something that could have been heavy, turned light. Because that's just how bigots deserve to be treated: as jokes.
A hate-fueled vandalism is never a welcome sight, but particularly not over Christmas. At what should be a festive and joyful time of year, finding "faggots" scratched into your door has the potential to ruin your holiday, to say the least. But one gay couple who found just such a display of hatred on their apartment door refused to give the vandals the satisfaction. Instead, they posted an open letter on their door:
To the individual who scrawled the word ‘faggots’’ into our door:
We regret to inform you that you completely failed to use glitter paint and/or sequins, your work looked rushed, and your handwriting was positively atrocious.
It is for these reasons that we had to remove your work from our door with sandpaper.
Fabulously yours,
The Gays in Apt. 611
Via Reddit.
I hope everybody had a wonderful day yesterday, no matter how you celebrated (or didn't). Now, on to the tops...
