Here's some crazy shit from the letters section of the New Haven Advocate.
Homo-Food Phobia

Each week I look forward to reading the restaurant reviews in the Advocate. I have discovered quite a few new restaurants this way, so there is always some nascent feeling of adventure as I begin my weekly read.

Little did I expect to have my stomach turned by "celebrating all things gay" [Chow Main, "Cuisine Fit for a Queen," June 6]. Gay—a lovely word for happiness, light-hearted euphoria, and wholesome fun—is poorly applied to the sexual perversion of mentally ill outcasts. Feigning a pride in the disgusting behavior of these aberrant creatures is like celebrating diarrhea, rape or pedophilia. (Worse, actually, since one cannot help having diarrhea, a powerful sex drive is normal for men, and an attraction to the very young is built into our being.)

You and the Advocate staff should do our community a favor: send homosexuals back to the closet without their supper. And focus restaurant review on celebrating nourishment for those who contribute to society.

Reads almost like Ignatius J. Reilly.

Intolerance. It's What's For Dinner!

I just love having my orientation described as less favorable than diarrhea, rape, and pedophilia.

Indeed. I would hope it's not for real--that it's a troll-like person who's just trying to see what kind of reaction he'll get. Not that that's much better, I guess...

Definitely Mr. Reilly.

I hope to God/ess that it's an elaborate joke - really.

I couldn't even finish A Confederacy of Dunces because that character pissed me off SO MUCH. UGH!

It's sad that people still think like this fool. :(
