Much ado about...wait for it...barbers!!!

Are we missing something? Because...none of this makes any sense!

If your barber is a homophobic twat...change barbers! It really is that simple.

When asked to ban the word 'faggot' from being said in his barbershop, the barber's response is brilliant...these snowflakes really need to grow a backbone!
