Death By Cosmo
Eleven gay bars in Seattle have received the above threatening letter (from here). Gee, good thing this didn't happen to 11 Catholic churches or the media might actually have a big story and the women of The View might have an ideal hot topic.
I guess the perp is from out of the country with the "in hospital" and the big words. But could he/she also be an angry queer? What anti-gay zealot uses the phrase "the gay community" (as he/she did in a note to the paper The Stranger)?
Sounds like a crock of shit to me, these letters. But a crock of shit that would scare the hell out of me if I were a patron or employee or owner of a gay bar in Seattle.
I believe this is a crock of shit too, but still find it disturbing. I live in Seattle - and have lot's of friends that go to these eleven bars, myself included every once in a while. It's nice to know that the "gay community" has pulled together here to raise awareness. I don't have plans to go out this weekend, and I wouldn't be scared either way. But I do hope that everyone pays close attention to their drinks and themselves - not only this weekend but every day. Seriously, there are some crazy mother fuckers out there. Just take care.
