Today's letters are utterly hilarious. But I gotta comment on some of them...
1. All of North Carolina is not some homophobic backwoods. I've lived in NC off and on for 2 decades, and waited tables and bartended in more than my fair share of establishments. Although none of them were gay bars, I would not have hesitated to send a drink from a gay couple to another couple.
It isn't irrelevant that he's in NC, but come on, ya'll are acting like the entire state is homogeneous.
2. I don't think anyone, especially Cary, equated being well-dressed with possibly being gay. I think if you add everything up, the case gets stronger, but that's neither here nor there.
3. And to the poster who suggested that there wouldn't be a problem if the situation were flipped and the wife was asking how to spruce up her hubbie, I think you're dead wrong.
If a woman went out, dressed to the nines, accepted drinks from people of any gender, joined them at their table, and was then amused by their sexual attentions and somehow blamed her husband, Cary and everyone else on the planet would recognize that there were some BIG issues stewing underneath her "who me?" facade. Don't be dense.
Ok, had to get that out. On with the fun.
