My Open Letter to A Persistent, Passive-Aggressive Nice Guy

The Persistent, Passive-Aggressive Nice Guy who won't go away surfaced this week - in that I discovered he was donating to all of the causes/links I shared on my blog over the past months. That's a very sneaky way to make me feel indebted? Beholden? What? So I responded. http://www.pghlesbian.com/2014/06/dear-persistent-passive-aggressive-nic...

Excellent post from pghlesbian!

Excellent post and letter from pghlesbian. A terrific response to what a creep that dude is. And especially since she is a lesbian, so she REALLY does not want him in her life at all in general. Good riddance!
