This must be a satire site. I thought the rule only applied to government documents.

This made me literally LOL. See how crazy things can get? So it’s illegal to use a word such as manhole. Now a gay business will be affected.

Get popcorn as we watch how this all turns out.

“The City has retained the services of Aspinger, Rimmer and Pummel to defend the lawsuit, a firm specializing in the area of non-heterosexual municipal gender legislation. A spokesperson for the firm declined to comment “Until we can fully insert ourselves into the case.” “
