Spotted in the comments of a discussion of Starbucks (and the politics thereof):
I generally either shut out the “No one I know voted for Nixon” vibe or I eavesdrop and see how many inanities get spouted. I’ll never forget one time, at a Starbucks in Houston, I struck up a conversation with some locals and was told, point-blank, that I had no business being in the gay Starbucks when the straight one was only two blocks down.
Ah, the good ‘ol Big Tent philosophy. Funny how some people are all about inclusion…as long as it’s about you including them.
