(no subject)

In the department of those words, I do not think they mean what you think they mean: The ACLU has sent me an email with the subject "North Carolina: Anti-LGBT rights under attack." I really, really think that’s not what they meant, and I’d be sure of that even without reading the text of the email.

That was just too funny that I had to check. The wording is of their email is wrong, from what I can tell:
https://action.aclu.org/secure/keep-nc-fair-for-lgbt

I had heard, before the ACLU email, about the horrible stuff passed in North Carolina, so I had some context. I just kind of boggled at the wording of the subject because, while the ACLU does support the right of anyone to hold whatever opinions they want, suppression of anti-LGBT bigots is not the current problem in North Carolina. The bigots seem to be doing far too well at the moment.

Whenever I see something that a copy editor would have fixed way before anyone else could have seen it, I laugh until I weep.

I know! I can only look at things like that and shake my head. It wouldn't even take a particularly practiced copy editor, just someone who actually read the subject carefully.

I mean, I'm pleased the ACLU is taking a stand, and what they talk about in the body of the email is reasonable and pretty much my position-- People that bigoted having power is scary as hell, and something needs to be done to protect the rights of the people they're attacking.
