Is it just me, or is this a little too dramatic for a subway ride? I mean, Jesus Christ, some nitwit wants to preach about the evils of homosexuality on the subway train? And, somehow, no one has beaten him senseless yet?

You know where the real tolerance here lies? In the fact that this gay man doesn't beat the shit out of that idiot.
