Dressed in a corduroy skirt, 27-year-old Syracuse resident Michelle Deferio stood near the Waverly Avenue entrance of the Schine Student Center holding a sign.
“HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN, CHRIST CAN SET YOU FREE,” it read.
Chris Pesto, a gay Syracuse University junior majoring in acting, was walking back from class around 3:30 p.m. He saw Deferio’s sign and decided to make one of his own.
“CORDUROY SKIRTS ARE A SIN,” his sign read.

As a Syracuse Acting major, I am proud.
Sassy always wins.
Two of the greatest gentlemen in New York, Brian Craine and Patrick Clair, are growing fantastic mustaches to raise money for prostate cancer research. Please donate to them (tax deductible!) and let them know how kick ass they look.
I donated… so I now own a piece of Craine’s mustache, right?
This Daily Show clip features a couple Brookstone jokes, that 10 year old who won’t say the pledge, and Mick Foley.
Thanks, Daily Show. This is just what I needed.
a dude PUSHED me into street today and a van had to swerve to avoid me. WTF NYC?
I know I missed out on the previous discussion of Muppet Christmas Carol, but mine just came in the mail. I haven’t seen it in so long!! I love that movie, and since there doesn’t seem to be any more video stores left in manhattan, I’ll have to purchase my favorites.
I might also need to purchase home alone 2. and Elf, which I have never seen.
You know what else I’d really like, a compilation of the christmas episodes of sitcoms. Like Roseanne, and married with children, Friends, TGIF shows, heck, that depressing My So Called Life christmas episode might do it for me as well.
Love this one, but you should also try and see Muppet Family Christmas, too. It’s my personal favorite Christmas movie.
Ironically, I never would have even listened to the clip in the first place, except I read Pat’s post and thought I’d back him up on what I thought might be an unpopular opinion.
tl;dr, right?
We also got called out by Gethard on the irc, which I wish I had known before I saw him tonight, so I could have made my point then instead of on the irc at 4 in the morning.
I got called out to talk about being ballsy.
In 1997, I went to a GWAR concert. I dislike GWAR, but some friends loved them. And I had a car. So I went.
A group of maybe 40 people were there protesting. They said hateful things to us; we said hateful things to them. No big deal.
Until one of them threw a bottle and hit my friend Ann in the head. She was 5 feet tall at the time and weight MAYBE 100 pounds.
I turned around and challenged them to a fight. Not the guy who did it, or the 2 guys who took credit. All of them. They yelled and screamed and threw bottles at me. And I just kept demanding they fight me.
And they backed down, not me. I stood my fucking ground. I would have fought all of them. I was 17 and stupid. But it seems like the perfect time in my life for me to have the biggest balls I’ve ever had.
