How to Fight Homophobia

Some folks found an awesome new way to fight homophobia: when their lesbian neighbors were vandalized, lots of other people hung rainbow flags.  Not only is this a lovely show of support for the lesbians, and a discouragement to the vandals, it also provides protective camouflage.  Suppose a bigot drives by who doesn't already know where the lesbians live.  How's he going to find them now?  He'll run out of eggs pretty fast.  LOL

I saw this and immediately thought of the leprechaun story.

So pass it around.  We can sure use more techniques for turning all the isms into wasms.

I was going to post a version of that. It - IS - a great story. But I saw that Ng beat me to it.

(Elizabeth probably has a copy of my deleted comment in her mailbox, if she gets notifications.)

I think a lot of people will do the right thing, and even the kind and generous thing, if it isn't going to break the bank.
