“…One of them told [us] we were going to Hell if we walked in here. [….] replied that was probably so, but you’ll be there serving me coffee when I arrive…”

This morning a group of right wingnuts took it upon themselves to protest outside a scheduled Pride event in Warrensburg.

Name the band:

“…And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men…”

Was anyone forcing people off the street into the event? Just asking.

It’s a G-rated drag show. You know, pop tunes and Broadway musical songs with fancy costumes and stage makeup.

1982. Victor, Victoria. A film about a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman. You know, drag shows. Julie Andrews, James Garner, etc. Nominated for eight Academy Awards, winning for best musical score.

What’s the difference?

You don’t want to see it? Don’t go.

Otherwise, continue wearing your self-righteous public bigotry with pride.
