SHE MAD

‘Orange Is The New Black’ Star Triumphs Over Homophobic Subway Preacher

Screen Shot 2014-11-04 at 1.10.00 PMLea DeLaria, who plays Big Boo on Orange is the New Black, recently did what everyone usually just thinks and scolded a universally unwanted proselytizer at length on a New York City subway.

Things start off fairly low key (as low key as you can get with this type of situation), with Delaria repeatedly telling him “you have no right.” “Jesus never said for you to do this,” she adds while flashing her “Bad Jew” T-shirt, as if logic would somehow prevail on the D train that day.

Then, wouldn’t you know it? Things get more heated. Surprising, we know.

Eventually the preacher man invokes the image of Sodom and Gomorrah, and there’s really only one place to go from there. “The sin of homosexuality,” he throws out into the void.

“Oh there it is! There we go!” DeLaria exclaims with her hands physically and metaphorically thrown over her head, “Now he calls me a dyke. Now I’ve been called a dyke by the crazy Christian.”

Watch the whole scene unfold in the following two videos:
