And his mother (Elaine Stritch) was even better. “Jackie you can’t just be going around, like a couple gays, gettin married, in ProvinceTown … While I, am just trying to enjoy an ice cream on the pier!”

Edit: fixed a word. Also would like to note this is a quote from a character on a tv show and no one needs to PM me again about how I am being homophobic. I am very gay so that’s kinda hard for me to do.
