Amusing Slash-Related Moment #1562

Scene: lush_rimbaud and I are sitting in a movie theater, waiting for TTT to start and talking (loudly!) about slash and the "KISS HIM!" scene.

Two solemn-looking guys wearing yarmulkes sit right in front of us.

me: Uh-oh. Orthodox Jews? (please note that Lydia & I are both secular Jews. Our orthodox brethren are not always known for being gay-friendly)
Lydia: I guess.
me: Might not be slash-friendly. We're gonna yell "Kiss!" right in their ears.
Lydia: (not serious) Maybe they're gay. Look! They're sitting next to each other! They MUST be gay! ...eh, it probably means they're brothers.
me: Yeah.

Religious Guy #1 pulls out a rather well-known gay comic book, and Religious Guy #2 starts reading his issue of Gay NY (an actual, honest-to-goodness NYC gay/lesbian-interest newspaper).

me & Lydia: (look at each other and burst out laughing)

True story. Damn, I love this city!
