George Bush to Enjoy a Gay Easter?

Well maybe he won't enjoy it seeing as how he hates gays. Anyway, read on.

From The Weekly Standard (ignore the quotation marks they use on words that should not have them - they're ummm con-serv-a-tive and trying to make a point):

For over a hundred years children have gathered on the South Lawn of the White House on the Monday after Easter to roll Easter eggs across the yard and meet the Easter Bunny. Seemingly few (if any) Washingtonians have ever tried to exploit the annual White House Easter Egg Roll for political purposes. Until now. A church-based gay rights group is planning to crash the event with a "family visibility action" to spotlight their non-traditional families.

On April 17, 2006, when the White House lawn is opened to families for the Annual Easter Egg Roll, imagine if the first 1,000 families onto the lawn were LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] families," enthused a January 4 email alert from Soul Force. Once America sees the White House lawn awash in LGBT families, "there will be no going back," Soulforce promised.

Soulforce is the political organizing tool of self-described "militant gay activist" Mel White, the former Jerry Falwell speech writer who discovered his gayness and became a clergyman in the predominantly homosexual Metropolitan Community Churches.

White and his supporters routinely show up at church conventions and other events to protest, perform acts of civil disobedience and demand that denominations change their teachings about homosexuality. They apply the "soul force" of principles from Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi to the struggle for justice for sexual minorities.

According to Soulforce, LGBT participants are being urged to gather at the White House gate the night before so as to be the first to enter the next morning. Volunteers will stand in line for LGBT parents who cannot do it themselves.

Although Soulforce insists this will not be a political protest, only a gathering for families, its supporters will arrive with special "non-political" t-shirts to identify themselves as LGBT.

Yeah, having a bunch of guys in dresses and wigs crowding onto the White House lawn to celebrate the resurection of Jesus is really going to help your cause.

By the way, while I'm not interested in going to Brokeback with you I would seriously get together with you for some conversation. I'm not a bad guy. Maybe you could convince me that gays should be able to marry or maybe I could convince you to be straight. What do you say?

Daniel, I'm pretty sure Bryan is taken, and Bryan, I'd say it looks like Daniel is hitting on you.

As for the guys in dresses and wigs comment, the majority of gay men I know dress like guys, and by the way, crowding onto the White House lawn will also be a whole lot of women. Oh, that's right: lesbians are part of the picture, too.
