"to clutch their pearls about those nasty homeless men peeing where little Baxter does his business."

Yup! One gay white man responded to an article I wrote on that topic by saying, and I'm paraphrasing because I can't remember exactly: "My husband and I paid a lot of money to buy our apartment. We deserve to live in peace. It's not wrong of us to be fighting to get these people out of our neighborhood."

Seriously? I can't even.
