Apparently I'm a domestic terrorist. I win!

I was sitting outside the cafe on my lunch break, talking to one of the other mall employees about the Pride Parade and how sad I am that I don't get to participate this year. A passerby (who turned out to be of the Homosexuality Should Be Criminalized camp - gotta love Bellevue) promptly informed me that I was going to hell, and that we liberals were domestic terrorists who ought to be expelled from the country.

I just stared for a minute and then walked away without another word because I was still in uniform and there was no way that was gonna end well.

But the more I thought about it, the happier it made me. It's a hell of a compliment. If you see me as a threat to your Ideal Nation of empty tradition, religious intolerance, homophobia and stifling elitism? GOOD. I must be doing something right.

I swear, every time I think I left a place of hatred and intolerance for a bastion of clear-thinking, rational people, stuff like this happens.

Good on you for not rising to the bait. As FearlessSon pointed out in a completely different context: sometimes, the only way to win is not to play.
