I wouldn't say I feel BAD about it though...

We have a security guard, but he's not allowed to do anything either. A few weeks ago our guard witnessed a customer walk in and snatch up a pile of about 4 or 5 cashmere sweaters worth $200 each. The thief was allowed to walk out and the guard couldn't do a thing. The store has alarms but customers almost always ignore them.
However, do not, under any circumstances, shoplift in Abercrombie & Fitch. The place is swarming with undercovers, and they will tackle you upon your exit if they see you throw an item into your bag without paying for it. Said guard worked at Abercrombie in the past and said the place was loaded with cameras and they did not hesitate to do whatever it took to deter theft.

(My mother made it her mission to indoctrinate me with notions of strong womanhood by watching The Women of Brewster Place, Roots, Queen, The Color Purple, and Hellraiser.)

I've never heard of this before my boyfriend and I started frequenting the other coast. Have any of you east coasters heard this on the street? It's crazy I hear it all the time now. WTF??
Don't they realize that black people and the gay community have a lot in common. Seems like we'd all do better banding together rather than picking at each other or worse. It sickens me.

I've heard both around Boston a little bit. It doesn't make sense to me. I grew up in a nice little gay neighborhood in a Denver. I was surprised by how often people use "retarded" and "gay", and the phrase "no homo" isn't all that uncommon.
And I hear this even when surrounded by fairly liberal and cool people... then they insist they don't mean anything by it. WTF, you guys, you can't be serious!

Seriously.
And everyone wonders why I left junior year to go to college early and moved as soon as I was old enough to leave.

The passing of Prop 8 in CALIFORNIA of all places would seem to show the opposite. And I know from having lived in small town USA, it definitely isn't there. Its hard to realize that after living in NYC and now right next to West Hollywood, but if shit like this can happen in SF of all places I don't think I would agree with your statement.

"Your face *insert whatever here*" is my answer to everything, sorry.

In the video, he says he and his church have been subjected to "hate speech" from "evil" people who are "Christ-o-phobes", while saying his positions on gays haven't changed one iota. This is what Warren is taking from all this. Way to reach across the aisle, Barack! You're really getting through to Warren.

I really may not watch the inauguration.

Of course I can recognize nuance and context, and the difference in consequences between an instance of using words of anger or physical violence, but I don't think that what triggers such action in the first place, fear and intolerance, is that different.
