You might think that security guards at U.S. federal buildings would be pretty much immune to offensive words and images by now, what with all those pictures of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney that have been hanging in the lobbies of our federal buildings for seven long years now. But you would be wrong:
A woman wearing a T-shirt promoting lesbianism said she was forced the leave a federal building Monday by a security guard who didn’t approve of her attire.Lapriss Gilbert said she was picking up a Social Security card for her son when the guard was offended by her “lesbian.com” shirt and threatened her with arrest.
I’m on Gilbert’s side, of course, and I can certainly appreciate why she was so upset after this encounter. (Still, it could’ve been worse—at least that guard didn’t shoot Gilbert in the back.) And LA Times? I don’t see how the word “lesbian” all by itself on a t-shirt promotes lesbianism. It acknowledges the existence of lesbians, for sure, and it promotes a particular website for lesbians. But it doesn’t “promote lesbianism” in the sense that you seem to mean here. Gilbert was just merely wearing a “lesbian.com” t-shirt; she wasn’t trying to turn straight female federal office workers away from the natural use of men.
Still, I wonder if this can really be true:
“As an African-American and a lesbian, I haven’t been through one day without facing some sort of discrimination,” Gilbert said.
Really? As an Irish-American and a faggot, I of course face far less potential discrimination on daily basis than Gilbert does, thanks to the color of my skin and the having of my cock. But I find it kind of hard to believe that Gilbert hasn’t experienced one day without facing some sort of discrimination. Surely there have been days when Gilbert stayed at home, curled up with a book or a girlfriend or both, days during which she encountered no discrimination at all. Or maybe Gilbert is one of those hypersensitive types that can just feel the discrimination oozing in under the door when she’s at home.
I bet she posts on reclusive leftist to boot.
Oh, Dan. You're just asking for it, aren't you?
I'm guessing she was using it as a rhetorical device, not as a literal statement of fact. Just a hunch.
Fuck lesbians. Who cares?
They can't stand a single joke about women, they're insanely easy to piss off, they cannot be reasoned with (if you're a male) and they're just, simply put, mega cunts. And most of them are FAT. Ugh!
"the having of my cock" ...
Um, you're not that big, Dan.
@4
Terry is.
@3,
So, in other words, you're just pissed off that they won't fuck you.
Do tell, Will. Just how big do you surmise Mr. Savage to be?
Dan, can you tell us about the many years of poverty, as every time you heard about a job, you found a NINA sign in the window? Please be sure to have a Guiness in one hand and a pipe in the other as you do so.
@6
Not likely.
@7 Oooo, is this a game? Guess the size of Mr. Savage's cock? I'll go with 12 inches.
I am amused by the image of discrimination oozing in under the door of someone's house.
If I've told you once, I've told you a million times! Don't exaggerate!!
Srsly, Dan, she was probably just making a point, not stating a mathematical fact. Sheesh!
i would echo #2 but there may be some truth to her claim. persistent discrimination can raises cortisol levels (flight or fight hormones) which leads to deletorious health effects which persist over time.
Um, why even mention the article about the dude who got shot in the back? They shot him because he was bashing a police officer over the head with a stun gun he grabbed from the police! How is that at all comparable to wearing a fucking t-shirt? Oh right, nothing. Thanks Dan. Always right there with ya.

@10: i'll go with the caucasian average: 6.somethingsomething.
Dan would say his dick is 9 inches, but his doctor would say it's 7.
I'm 10. Do the math.
Sure, cause the Stranger never exaggerates to make a point.
I don't care how long Dan Savage's dick is. But regarding his article from last week re: gays vs. swingers, I just wanted to indicate that in Canada both are legal now due to 2 separate Supreme Court rulings.
Ms. Gilbert has certainly been treated very poorly in this instance. Security guards should stay away from trying to supress the 1st Amendment and stick to wishing they were cops. If I were the family of that dancer I would get an independednt lab to test for drugs with new samples from the body. It is surprising how many law enforcement labs contaminate specimens by improper handling. many have been closed or placed under strict oversight by judicial injunction in the past several years.
@7&10: Ohhhh I want to play too! I'll go with 7.5
@16: Uhh, the math says you're probably 8, maybe 8.5. And that means you are A-OK in my bood.
@20: book, not bood. Although bood does sound more appropriate somehow...
I don't know (or care) about the size of Dan's cock, but I know this: he's got balls the size of melons.
Lost in all this frenetic big cock frenzy is the fact that not a single other writer for this publication could have come up with the phrase "the having of my cock" if their lives depended on it.
Are we listening Stranger Justice League? Femgirl? Concrete Boy? Artwench? Booknerd?
A neighbor once put dog shit on my aunt's front porch because she disliked having a black woman in her neighborhood - I think the smell did in fact ooze under the front door.
If you have to stay home to avoid discrimination then it is pretty damn pervasive Dan!
@25, hilarious
Is this some sort of competition Dan?
Yea, and what about when she was a baby and sat in her crib all day? She couldn't have faced discrimination then!! She is clearly being a hypersensitive bitch and should have said "all the days in which I don't lock myself in my home like a shut in". Thanks captain whitey for bringing that quote down to earth.
