Misinterpreting Tweets: Somehow a Texas cafe owner’s homophobic tweet got turned around and ending up generating more business. Right after New York approved same-sex marriage, Brown Coffee Company in San Antonio tweeted: “No human law can ever legitimize what natural law precludes. #SorryFolks #NotEqual #WhyBother #ChasingAfterTheWind #SelfEvident.” Well, people got upset, so Brown’s deleted the offensive tweet and apologized on its website; but owner Aaron Blanco couldn’t help but posting an essay of sorts on the shop’s website that claimed that the tweet was really all about classical philosophy. Likely story. He even added, “Coffee doesn’t require perfect concord of personal beliefs to taste good.” Anyway, according to Blanco’s post, the shop actually got more business after this whole “philosophical” tweet debacle. Good job, Texas. Gawker
