There is an old Supreme court case from the sixties. It inolved clothing and the right to physically defend oneself fom offensive slogans or words on clothing. They basically ruled that certain words or slogans justify physical retaliation...so, you are technically correct.

As an individual, I could care less about what people do or do not wear. As a parent, clothing with clearly offensive language on it worn in public causes all kinds of problems. If you are headed out to an alternative night club with a GFY shirt on, no problem. But, if you are going to McDonalds, or Applbees in this case, you should expect a number of people to object. The fact that someone would be surprised by this is the truly hysterical or sad obsevation to be made.
