Last weekend some 40,000 fundies came to Nashville to march against the sexual revolution and for old time Republican religious values. Many of the religious zealots drank gay water and even used a gay bathroom [gasp], or a bathroom in a gay cafe. The owners of a local gay bookstore -- OutLoud -- passed out some 1200 bottles of water, along with coffee and muffins, to the droves of Christians who marched through Nashville's gay strip (photo).
Downtown restaurants were packed with Christians. Many were overheard spreading talk of a prophecy that their particular god would make an appearance at the Titan's Stadium later that day.
Instead of tips, the famously bad tippers left little converting-the-heathens pamphlets which read:"Here's your tip, you can use this tip for the rest of your life. . ." Some Christians left hand-scrawled sanctimonious scriptures in place of tips. There's nothing like the personal touch.
Everyone was not as forgiving as the dispensers of 'gay water.' Christians at one downtown restaurant proudly announced their intention to "save some souls" and demanded directions to the nearest homeless shelter. Their server, tired of homophobia and tired of holy pamphlets for wages, smiled maybe a little too sweetly while she gave them detailed directions to the projects.
