This morning, I was in the diner by my place getting coffee when this guy's trying to figure out his crossword clues. The one he was stumped on was "Poe's beloved."
Now. If you're American and you've ever read anything in your life, you've probably read The Raven. So I spoke up, leaned over the back of his booth, tapped his shoulder and said 'scuse me, but I think it's "Lenore."
I had my rainbow bracelet on the hand I'd tapped his shoulder with. So he looks at me and goes, "Don't touch me, faggot."
The woman at the next booth over, then, looks the man dead in the eye and starts quoting The Raven verbatim. When she gets to Lenore, she damn near spits it at him, and says "You're dumb as shit, and twice as ignorant." The whole place broke up.
I know that God wants us to turn the other cheek when we're offered violence or scorn, but the look on this man's face was one of the best things I've seen in years.
