I was so stunned I didn't know what to say. I just sort of played it off like she must be joking and said something like, "No, we don't hit dogs," while petting one of her collie's.

I've always found it odd the groups people associate themselves with. All people, but especially people going to groups that hate them.

Then again, the local lesbians aren't thrilled with me and I have been known to still show up.
