While we’re talking all things political, here’s a story that warmed my emaciated frame a couple of degrees this morning. Zealot and anti-gay protester, Michelle Deferio stood on a corner at Syracuse University last week with a placard denouncing the lifestyle. Out of retaliation, a drama student at Syracuse, Chris Pesto stood beside her with his own sign (pictured above). Mr Pesto said:
I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would retaliate and make her feel just as uncomfortable, if not more.
This woman was wearing a ankle-length corduroy skirt, which, as we all know, is a fashion no-no. So, in order to make her feel uncomfortable, I stood next to her and held a sign that said corduroy skirts are a sin!
His counter-protest attracted its own rally of around 100 admonishing both bad fashion and bigotry along with interest from local media.
You’ve got to love this guy. It’s just like Ivana Trump says at the end of The First Wives Club, rather than getting mad, he got everything even. It’s the mantra of every future ex-wife/husband everywhere.
