Sorry Dan, I thought you had come to the HIV+ theory because of the quote plagiarized.

AND The Eagle is on the list (as pointed out to me at The Eagle) listed as The Seattle Eagle (apparently I was stoned the first time I read it).

So yeah, I did go to support The Eagle but I still would have felt a little bad about rubbing salt in this dudes already obviously gaping wounds by being part of the crawl.

I stand by my original thought, the letter writer is not a mad idiologue but a hurt social misfit and I just didn't feel good about making a big deal about it.

let's quit baiting each other - good bar or bad bar - IT IS A FUKING TERRORIST THREAT TO KILL PEOPLE, MAYBE YOU

I think the threat is real - and just wonder how there are so many experts on the demented psycho mind??

Be careful, do bottled beer only. (love Rolling Rock)

Jesus Christ.

Frankly, I'm puzzled why we even need banners for tonight. Just go out and crawl! Just show up to however many bars you want to go to and just buy drinks and have a good time. Why the hell do we have to turn this into some big, dramatic production?

Nevertheless, I can't believe there were some party poopers out there complaining about this support night.

Even amongst people who oppose gay marriage, but think no American deserves to live in Fear.

Seriously, I'm surprised by how many people are willing to do this just to stand up against the actions of a loony tune nutso. It's great!

@18: MadPub also opted out of hosting an Obama Night that all of the other gay bars took part in during the campaign last year. Apparently MadPub still wishes to remain "politically neutral" (the excuse they gave for the aforementioned decision in 2008).

Madison Pub, for some reason, didn't want to participate. Not sure why the Eagle isn't on the list, as the manager of the Eagle created the poster.

WTF?! Your comment IS poignant and funny, but come on! This isn't about gays protesting terrorism and threats against them. It's about protesting threats and terrorism against gays. I don't think this is lame at all -- just convenient if you're a partier.

Jebus. I wish our economy didn't suck total eggs and I could afford to go pubcrawl with 'yall tonight.

PS I'm straight. But I'm SO gay for gay. I vote for you. I <3 you.

So, here's the thing. I'm with Dan's theory that this isn't a religous or political nutbag but a bitter and angry gay man who has recently been diagnosed with HIV. Some naive guy got taken advantage of or maybe a social misfit who tried using risky sex to become accepted into what he thought was the cool crowd.

So whoever this guy is isn't going to see a bunch of laughing happy "cool" homos out celebrating his threat as a joke and say, "oh wow, I guess I was wrong." It'll just prove his point.

I'm going out tonight. I usually do on Friday nights. I will most likely be at one or two of the targeted bars. I always keep a close eye on my drinks anyway. But I think this protest(? really?) is dumb and most of the people involved have probably completely missed the point.

A novel way to dispel fear and fight terrorism and hate.

I'm sure the Marines and FBI and Girl Scouts will have recruiters there.

No wonder you clowns got your clocks cleaned in California (twice)
