DERBYSHIRE AWARD NOMINEE

Check out this repulsive cartoon in the New York Post. It follows George Pataki’s successful steering of a gay rights bill through the New York State legislature. The cartoonist doesn’t even getn his facts right. Every character in the cartoon is a cross-dresser. Yet the bill that passed didn’t include cross-dressers or transgendered people. And notice the small picture of a gerbil on the wall. How terribly funny. Just a reminder that the kind of bigoted attitudes now rightly bemoaned in the early years of Trent Lott are still perfectly acceptable where homosexuals are concerned.
