Great at spelling, suck at punctuation...help me with this quote: |
|
We have "Gay" checks. We're allowed to put our own messages on them. Our message will read: If you take gay money but deny gay rights, you're a hypocrite.
But I want to ensure the punctuation on the quote is right. :-)

I thought of several variations, but yours is shortest.

This money came from a gay person. Spend it if you dare.

8. The punctuation is good as it stands, but rewriting is possible: |
|
"We have equality in the marketplace; we want equality in law."
"Accepting our money while rejecting our rights = Hypocrisy"

"I'm as queer as a three dollar bill and this check won't bounce!"
OK, seriously, your quote, add "and."

11. You might consider a - before the last clause. |
|
Only because it's sort "in" right now to use the -.
