“I have friends who read Ayn Rand. I have friends who read Norman Mailer. I have friends who read comic books, and I have friends who read the Bible, and sometimes they’re the SAME FRIENDS. My boyfriend thinks that Soulja Boy is an appropriate noise to make in our home. I like all those people. […] And the only reason I have ever genuinely disliked another person is that I thought he or she was COMING UP WITH BULLSHIT REASONS NOT TO LIKE PEOPLE. Coming up with bullshit reasons why reading the wrong books, or wearing the wrong clothes, or living in the wrong neighborhood, or coming from the wrong culture or the wrong income level or the wrong gender, meant that some other human being didn’t deserve compassion. I don’t like some of what this guy has said. And all I know about him is that he’s said a few things I didn’t like online.”
