Here's a fun
story. Apparently people in Provincetown don't like it when gay people call them breeders.
Police say they logged numerous complaints of straight people being called "breeders" by gays over the July Fourth holiday weekend. Jamaican workers reported being the target of racial slurs. And a woman was verbally accosted after signing a petition that opposed same-sex marriage, they said.
The town, which prizes its reputation for openness and tolerance, is taking the concerns seriously, though police say they do not consider the incidents hate crimes.
"Hate language is usually the early-warning signal that could lead to hate-motivated violence," Town Manager Keith Bergman said. "And before that happens, we try to nip it in the bud."
Really? You're worried about violence from the gay guys calling you breeders?
What, are they forcibly going to make you fabulous? And since when was verbally accosting people a crime? I'd totally be in jail by now.
