During the Christmas holidays, a gay couple had their apartment door carved out with the word, 'FAGGOTS,' a tactic one might use to demean and intimidate. Instead, the residing couple came back with the perfect response.
To The Individual Who Scrawled "Faggots" Into Our Door:.We regret to inform you that you completely failed to use glitter paint and/or sequins, your work looked rushed and your handwriting was positively atrocious.
It is for these reasons that we had to remove your work from our door with sandpaper."
Fabulously yours,
The Gays In Apt. 611.
This made my day. Thank you to this incredibly clever and witty couple for evoking laughter, and spoiling any satisfaction the uncreative, homophobic, asshole may have tried to realize. And thank you to Scott Bixby/MIC.com (who calls the response, 'fucking fabulous') for sharing this story.
