I wonder how the parents of the 'beautiful, innocent children' explained to them why they couldn't go to Disney World. I doubt if the apposite phrase, 'because Mommy and Daddy are bigoted imbeciles', came into the equation.
And one from K, a story I haven't seen myself, and can't vouch for, but one which sounds plausible and more than indicative of the skewed 'priorities' of modern society, especially in places where the right wing are in control - apparently a London borough council has installed retractable spikes on park benches to stop homeless people sleeping on them, at a price higher than it would have cost to actually house those homeless people, and with the consequence that people now have to pay to use the benches, the payment of the fee causing the spikes to retract. You couldn't make it up, still less explain it.

Yeah, gay days at Disney causes the spittle-flecked Christofacists to go absolutely ape shit. Screw 'em, it's there loss.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I've seen several pictures of "homeless spikes"...they also pour concrete ones under bridges so they won't sleep there. You can only imagine how much THAT costs!

Hello Jay
DeleteHopefully the children will come to realise that their parents' opinions are a pile of shit, but there is, unfortunately, the possibility that they'll swallow it whole and become the same sort of parents themselves. Because, as I've said before, I strongly believe that prejudice and bigotry are learned rather than innate. And that includes prejudice towards homeless people, too.
