Woman accused of tossing fruit at gays (charged with hate crime)
San Francisco Examiner ^ | 03/06/07 | Brian Foley

A Pacifica woman was arrested Sunday on suspicion of a hate crime for allegedly throwing fruit and vegetables at a gay couple while riding in a van, police said Monday.

Tiffany Adler, 20, who works at a grocery store, was a passenger in a van in Pacifica on Sunday when she spotted a gay couple who frequent the store, according to police.

As the van drove by around 7:50 p.m. on the 500 block of Esplanade Drive, she allegedly rolled down the window and threw apples and vegetables at them, police said. Later, the van turned around and approached the couple again as she allegedly yelled the word “faggot” at them.

The gender of the couple was not immediately known.

At least some of what was thrown appears to have hit the couple, according to the police report.

Adler, the only person arrested, was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor hate crime and misdemeanor battery and released.

“Her statement was that she wasn’t aware that they were gay,” police Sgt. Jim Tasa said. “She thought they were people that she had a prior conflict with.”

A court date has been set for April 13.

For one-stop shopping, you can get your fruit and fags, and take a pea all at the same time!

Isn't that faulous?!

I don't know about you, but sometimes when I eat a meal, I become overheated and here I can whip my shirt off and don a pair of pasties.

This small store has high ideals!

Family of faggot fans fly the flag
The Doody family
The Doody family hope to raise profile of faggots
A West Midlands family is playing a central role in the quest to raise the profile of a forgotten British dish - faggots.

The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week.

The family will be touring the country extolling the virtues of the dish, which is best-known for its links with the Black Country.

The Doody family were chosen to front the campaign after impressing judges at the Savoy Hotel in London in November.

They displayed their fanaticism for the delicacy during quizzes, role-plays and mock commercials.

"The nation knows that the Cornish pasty, Yorkshire pudding, haggis and fish and chips are great British dishes, but all too often the faggot is left off that list," said Janet Doody.

Her husband Fred added: "It's unfair because faggots were a British delicacy long before any of the others.

"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year."

The family, including Lewis, 13, and Grace, 7, eat faggots twice a week, with mashed potato and mushy peas, and will be launching the awareness campaign on Tuesday at Liverpool University, followed by visits this week to Nottingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Birmingham.

The competition was organised by faggot producer Mr Brain's Faggots.

NEXT WEEK:   Vegetarian recipes!

Did you add any keywords? I don't know who put it there, but "Drive by Fruitings" is my favorite.

The fruit wasn't organically grown.

"The gender of the couple was not immediately known."

Isn't that a sexist statement? ;)

DNA test won't be conclusive, nor physical examinations...what one has to do to determine gender is ask the person what they "desire" to be:

New York Plans to Make Gender Personal Choice
"The Metropolitan Transportation Authority also agreed last month to let people define their own gender when deciding whether to use the men’s or women’s bathrooms."

Speaking for all menopausal women, I think we should all be allowed to don pasties the very second we become overheated. Especially if we are participating in drive by fruitings.
