Or perhaps I should say, "...THO glad I don't...".

LOS ANGELES — An openly gay teen was voted prom queen at Los Angeles' Fairfax High School in a campaign that began as a stunt but ended up spurring discussion on the campus about gender roles and teen popularity. Sergio Garcia, 18, was crowned queen Saturday night at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
"I feel invincible," Garcia said in his tiara and charcoal-gray tuxedo.
A few days earlier, he gave a speech that won over some cynics and led to an ovation and his unlikely victory.
"At one time, prom may have been a big popularity contest where the best-looking guy or girl were crowned king and queen. Things have changed and it's no longer just about who has the most friends or who wears the coolest clothes," Garcia told a gymnasium full of seniors. "I'm not your typical prom queen candidate. There's more to me than meets the eye."
Garcia assured the crowd he wouldn't wear a dress on prom night.
"I will be wearing a suit," he said. "But don't be fooled, deep down I am a queen."
The school, which sits at the end of the rows of chic shops on Melrose Avenue and was once attended by members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has long been a haven for students who would be considered outcasts at many schools.
Garcia said he saw fliers advertising the prom and the election, and they didn't specify that the queen must be a girl. He thought the role would suit him better than prom king.
"I don't wish to be a girl," he told the Los Angeles Times. said. "I just wish to be myself."

It's a strange and curious world we live in and the stranger it gets, the more ready I am to live WAY out in the boonies, with my neighbors at least a mile away.

How far away do you think we are from having an openly gay president? We will live to see it.
Spidey - we will no longer be "America" (in the old, popular sence) when that comes to pass.
But - we aren't that now, huh?
Bill Clinton cold-cocked America - Dubya did nothing to revive her, Yomama is the nail that sealed the coffin.
It's now every man (er... person) for himself. Some States will outlive others which is why I choose to live in Texas. If Texas fails I still have property in Alaska.
The world has moved on and left common sense, morals, God, family, and liberty behind.
You're totally right Jimbo, that's why the run on gun and ammo shops. A few of us actually see what's coming.
As most of us knows, we have been at war in Amerika for a long time. A culture war between the Left and Right. Those of us who want to keep America as it was intended, and those who want to re-engineer our society so it becomes some European-style socialist haven for all of societies misfits.
With the death of the Republican party, and Conservative voices/opinions being muffled and ignored, IMO, it's becoming more clear every day that we've lost that war. It's time we started another one. This time, a real one! What is the alternative? To lay down, shut up, and become whatever it is "they" want us to become. Take your pick.

Barney Frank in 2012!
How far away do you think we are from having an openly gay president?Who gives a shit so long as he's qualified for the job?
WOuldn't that be nice for a change? A man qualified to be president, with better credentials than "I ran three businesses into the ground while doing my best to kill my liver with booze, but my Daddy was president!" or "I was a community organizer for a couple of years, then I became a senator because I slandered my opponent and won the race, and got elected because I sound pretty when I say ethereal shit like HOPE and CHANGE into a microphone"???
So the fuck what if he is gay if he actually is qualified to be in office?
Sometimes I think you guys all have this picture in your minds of all gay men being a prancey little fairy man with audacious style and a lisp. I've known quite a few very intelligent, very solid gay men in my lifetime that I KNOW FOR A FACT would be better presidents than Obama OR Bush could ever dream of being.
Judge the man, not the group, folks...
