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.

The word terrorist has altered its meaning, much like the word witch and pagan... Oddly amusing, when you think about it.
Anyway, good on you for your reaction. Even better than you remained in a, somewhat, calm state, considering.
