BREAKING: Broadway diva and gay icon Patti LuPone went unrecognized and was dissed at Twitter's corporate headquarters in SAN FRANCISCO!
Musical star-actress-memoirist Patti LuPone, who appeared in San Francisco last week, took advantage of the visit to drop in on the offices of Twitter. A stranger impersonating LuPone had established a Twitter account, she said, and was sending out messages purportedly from her. LuPone and her people had tried to address this through the website, but found themselves unable to hack through the electronic briars; hence the personal visit.
The Twitter receptionist - apparently not knowing who LuPone is - wasn't exactly helpful, said LuPone's publicist, Philip Rinaldi. In fact, she seemed to LuPone so unhelpful that LuPone became visibly impatient. At that point, the receptionist threatened to call security.
First question: Is that receptionist still alive? Patti LuPone DOES NOT PLAY.
Second question: In the name of Judy Garland and all that is Holy - ARE THERE NO HOMOSEXUALS AT THE SAN FRAN-FRIGGIN-CISCO OFFICES OF TWITTER?!?!???
Third question: Assuming there was at least one card-carrying, showtune-loving, Sunday brunch-having 'Friend of Dorothy' in that building - why didn't Miss LuPone have him called to the front? I'm sure she's used the "I DEMAND TO SEE A GAY!" trick before.
All it would have taken was one GAY GASP of recognition from a certified Queen, and the problem would have been solved immediately.
Story developing...
Thanks to DustBunny Kailyn for sending this in.

And if they are any 'mo's in that Twitter office, they should instantly be drummed out of the organization--not Twitter, mind you, but the LGBT organizxation.
Rule # 1 of the Gay Agenda.
DON'T.DISS.A.DIVA!
Oh my!
I'm sure that receptionist was a very nice person & since she was on the job, I'm sure she'll be able to collect disability...
And as far as SF goes, we "cosmopolitan" types clean up the real estate so much that it becomes attractive to beige-minded people with money.
(remember the days when one could get a drink in the west village before noon without seeing a rug-rat?
I am still in shock.
OFF WITH HER FUCKING HEAD! AND SAN FRANCISCO OF ALL PLACES!!
All I can think of is this: http://fuckyeahwillandgrace.tumblr.com/post/1375788856/krissycupcake-soonish-jack-shut-up-patti
Apparently there are no gays in that building. Surely someone's gay spidey sense would've felt her presence and caused him to pull the nearest diva alarm.
Wouldn't you have loved to be a fly on the wall, though, and seen Patti bitch slap that receptionist to kingdom come and back?
yeah, I was there, but frankly, Merman was much better in Gypsy.
Perhaps there are some "family" members employed at the Twitter offices. However, they may not be open about and therefore distanced themselves from the situation if even they were aware of it at all.
Just a guess!
