So this writer is pissed because “€“ as you had guessed “€“ there was “€œno shortage of outrage from LGBT advocacy groups,”€ but not even a smidgen of complaint about the law’s “€œheightism.”€

Well, duh. Big Gay is, alas, an actual (Miss) thing. But the LPA aside, there is no such menacing and powerful entity as, well, Big Small.

I”€™m surprised it’s taken this long for the, shall we say, “€œtravel-sized community”€ to squeeze their way into America’s last remaining manufacturing industry: the flourishing and highly lucrative “€œvictimhood/outrage”€ sector.

Especially since, I was startled to learn, the touchiness of the teeny tiny is as old as the Bard himself.

Double-checking that line of Helena’s for this column, I discovered that the very next ones, uttered by Hermia, go like this:

“€œLittle”€ again? Nothing but “€œlow”€ and “€œlittle”€!”€”
Why will you suffer her to flout me thus?
