Picture this: a screaming preacher invades a crowded subway. When one
rider asks the screamer to quiet down, several Bible-toting
“Christians”
surround her and start yelling about the special hellfire God has
planned for gays.*
Instead of retreating, she starts singing her favorite show tunes. Finally, her attackers give up and get off the train.
You go, girlfriend. If I’d been there, I hope I’d have had the courage to start singing harmony.
* In my mind, putting your fellow riders in fear crosses the line from subway-friendly free speech to assault,
If your attack aims to force gay people off the subway, that seems to
cross the line from simple to aggravated assault–but IANAL.
