So, gay parents are lining up for the easter egg roll at the WH

[cynatnite]

WASHINGTON - Hundreds of gay and lesbian parents hoping to take their families to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll plan to start lining up Friday evening to make sure they get tickets for the Monday event.

Thousands of tickets — an estimated 16,000 last year — are given away on a first-come-first-come basis beginning at 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

National Park Service officials said Wednesday that children of all ages may attend as long as there is at least one child 7 years old or younger, and no more than two adults per group.

First lady Laura Bush's office issued a statement saying all families are welcome to attend.

1. Here's a kick that I hope they do and acknowledge what's

going on!
I've read about this for months, so if they don't, they are idiots, but who knew?:eyes:

2. Dammit...

...gay polygamists get kicked in the ass again. Only two adults per group, pfah!

[Occulus]

3. WHY???

That's the question I want the answer to!

WHY?

[Kutjara]

4. I suppose this demolishes the stereotype...

...that gay people are cooler than average. I can't imagine anything less stylish than pushing eggs around a fascist's front lawn.

[obxhead]

7. it does have a certain....

"have some salt for that wound" feel to it though.

[Kutjara]

8. That's very true! n/t

[WI_DEM]

18. gay people are the same as the next

they have cool people (whatever that is) and nerds (whatever that is) and just regular folks.

[theHOMOagenda]

5. Because American has declared war

on our families?

:shrug:

Just a guess.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. Because even though some of us stopped doing drugs a long time ago..

we still get nostalgic for the occasional acid trip.

[Kutjara]

9. I see what you mean.

The one in the blue costume looks WEIRD as hell!

[wtmusic]

11. Because it's fun for kids

and who knows, maybe a fundie parent or two will get in a discussion with a gay couple and realize they aren't Satan's disciples

[HuffleClaw]

10. i expect they will turn away as many as they can

and i thought george and laura were in crawford for the holiday?

[cynatnite]

12. Nope, Cindy's there...

I read they'll be at Camp David this year.

[Kutjara]

13. CAMP David?

Isn't that a bit...well Gay? I'm surprised Shrub hasn't renamed it Butch David or something.

[babylonsister]

16. No, she's at Camp Casey in Crawford. nt

[longship]

14. I absolutely love this.

How wonderful. I sincerely hope that everybody has a wonderful time. And I hope the First Family enjoys seeing the diversity of people in this country celebrating the holidays together.

15. He's probably afraid Cindy Sheehan will be disguised as a Easter bunny

so I don't see "Mr. I'm too much of a wuss to talk to a grieving mother" coming anywhere near that event.

Besides, what would he have to say to a bunch of fags besides, uh, can y'all get off my lawn?

[WI_DEM]

17. Good! Why not?
