The Gay Lobby's 'March to the Sea'

All that remains is to burn Atlanta to the ground with dancing pink flames!

Say Hallelujah! President Barack Obama continues to pave the way for the progressive and enlightened United States of America.

God bless you, President Obama (wait, invoking God might subject the 'non-Godly' to narrow minded, reprehensible discrimination, so let me rephrase that); bless you President Obama for providing the consummate example of progressive tolerance – something we Americans should expect from our president – the avowed and recognized leader of the free world. Forgive me, but I cannot find words to express my sense of American pride at the fine example you have provided. Since you and I are both fathers, I readily identify with your position and your decision that removing all remnants of backwards thinking sexual discrimination will lay the groundwork for the progressive re-tooling of our great, but somewhat outdated American culture. You are a visionary of inestimable proportions.  

All heartless discrimination against any American, based on his or her sexual preference, or declared sexual identity must be eliminated – this in the higher pursuit of progress and tolerance, no matter what the consequences.

Since you will decree it un-American, if not criminal, to discriminate against anyone, in any situation, on the basis of his or her sexuality, let me present just a small preview of the glorious and necessary picture, for the great unwashed, of your new, enlightened, progressive America.

Of course, the simple socio-cultural issue of public restrooms will need to be addressed. Here are some preliminary thoughts: Either the nation-wide implementation of unisex bathrooms, or the construction of entirely new sets of bathrooms in all public establishments – not sure of the number, but at least one additional for gay men, one for gay women, and who knows how many for the several varieties of trans-gendered people. I mean, it only makes sense.

I think budget constraints and practical logistics will dictate that the unisex bathroom is the best solution (you know, what with 'Sequestration' and all); and since you don't mind if my prepubescent, adolescent, or teenage sons share bathrooms with middle aged gay men (the undeniable outcome of your passionate, presidential plea for openly gay Boy Scout leaders), I'm sure you will agree that your daughters will feel equally comfortable sharing public restroom facilities with middle aged heterosexual men. What could possibly demonstrate more profoundly your complete ideological allegiance to the new and better, sexually enlightened America! And more importantly, how could anyone, even those right wing, Christian, gay-hating bigots, perceive any possible problems with this plan?

Submitted with all due respect and absolutely no apologies to anyone.
