A queer barbershop/salon opened near my flat recently. On the front window there's a mural listing all of the things which are forbidden inside:
The fifth one isn't a typo: it really says no facism. I'm assuming they meant to say "no fascism" but misspelled it (pretty embarrassing to misspell a word which is presumably one of the most commonly used in your vocabulary). But now I'm wondering: maybe they really did mean facism (as in, no discriminating on the basis of facial appearance)? I remarked to herself that I thought that was just called "dating".
*In case you were wondering what this one referred to.
No phobia against HIV-positive people? In an establisment handling sharp objects that touches multiple people per day? Well, at least they had the decency to tell on themselves.
I see your point, although my understanding is that the risk of contracting HIV from getting stuck with a contaminated needle is vanishingly low, and the risk of contracting it from a dirty scissor blade presumably lower still.
It's interesting that these people think it's perfectly legitimate to discriminate against prospective sexual partners on the basis of viruses of the mind; actual viruses, on the other hand, are off-limits.
I assumed that if they advertise as a barbershop they might be using straight razors.
Surely not.
