New photos from Coney Island are up.
I'm frequently accosted by good-cause donation-seekers on the street, probably because I am white. The other day it was, "Do you have a minute for gay rights?" Well, fuck. Did I have a minute? Not really. I had an urgent need for new pants. But if I say no to that sentence, can it really be clear which part I'm saying no to? It's perfectly designed to hook you. 100% of New Yorkers don't have time, but a large percentage of them also don't want their "no" to be a "no, faggot."
So I did the only thing which would clearly state that while I support your rights (excluding the right to ask passersby if they have time), I am practically pantsless before you. Which was to hold up both thumbs in a positive gesture and say, "That's cool, but no."
Next time maybe I'll say, "A gay Right? Now that's something."

The gay hand in my pocket.

That pun doesn't work quite as well when verbally stated, and there is no need to go pantsless to show your support for gay rights, no matter what anyone tells you.
Here's another solution: I'll get you a bag of The G Spod buttons, and next time, you give a button to the gentleman and say "I've got about 60 minutes every week, friend of Dorothy."
Well I'd also be holding a picture of a rainbow elephant. Obviously.
And I could use some more buttons, I already traded all mine to Little Justice (a.k.a. David Ben-Avram) for a pack of cigarettes.
