Gay Parents Line Up For White House Easter Egg Roll Tickets
Associated Press ^ | 4-13-2006 | Associated Press

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.

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

Laura Bush - the liberal United Methodist poster-girl exerts her control over the President once again.

I guess this payback to the Conservative Base for derailing her choice for the Supreme Court - Harriet Miers.

What are they supposed to do, put out a sign "No gays allowed"?

FR is turning into bigot-central.

Exactly. I kinda knew this is what alot here thought, but to read these posts is kinda unnerving. What do they think is going to happen?

I'm so disappointed in the Bushes.

I think they prefer to be called "lesbians."

I have no problem with parents of any kind wanting to have their children participate in this tradition. It's the obvious clamor for pushing an agenda that I have a problem with. Take your agendas elsewhere. A WH tradition is not the place to make a political statement (though I'm sure those clamoring to get in think it's the right thing to do).

Applied to a `Queen', from the `Cage Aux Folle', sp? original French movie.

Mincing, prancing, lisping: `flamboyant' or "flaming".

My apologies, I didn't realize that my post #51 would be considered offensive.

I think the disapproval on this thread has much more to do with the "gays" wanting to attend this event as "gays" to make their cynical political point, and using their kids as a political prop to disrupt an innocent Easter egg hunt meant for small children.

No, Hil: I said I hate poof *ing*, just after I said I had no problem with non-poof homosexuals attending the egg roll; in other words, I would rather not hear that someone had to chase Richard Simmons away with a fire extinguisher.
Tell me, do you actually read posts that you reply to, or are you just prone to going off `half-cocked?

"I do not think this would be a problem if the gay couples would quietly bring in their children just like any other parent doing the same. This event is about the kids not the parents/caregivers/my two moms or my two dads."

I agree - unfortunately, aren't they all going to wear the same T-shirt to identify who they are?

Easter Egg Rolls?

Since when are Egg Rolls an Easter Dinner menu item?

I like the idea, perhaps Ham and Au Grautin potatoes egg rolls?

Green Bean Casserole egg rolls?

Gays, Mexicans, Arabs, Catholics have all come in for floggings at the hands of the chosen, the pure, the armies of God.

You're Jewish, aren't you? Better get ready. Who knows who's next.

exactly. These homosexuals are not attending the event as a fun thing for their children.

These homosexuals are SPECIFICALLY attenting to display the fact they play with the sexual organs of members of the same sex for recreation.

Didn't they do this last year also .. and ended up ruining the easter egg hunt that is meant for children to have fun.

I certainly would not take my children to be around a bunch of perverts. Easter service in the morning, then hunting for eggs with homosexuals in the afternoon. The kids may be a little confused about the whole thing.

First solution, you prohibit all political signs or shirts. Thus act up, glsen, pflag or any other homo advocate promotion is out. ALL homosexual references are prohibited as any other sexual content. (IOW same as a tshirt with playboy or hustler on the front) I bet a number would be cleared out by prohibiting sexual predators.

Homosexuals are only at the children's event to promote adult recreational sex.

"Gay Parents Line Up For White House Easter Egg Roll Tickets"

I would vote for Easter to be given to the queers as the holiday has nothing to do with Jesus. Ironic that non-breeders want to participate in a pagan fertility celebration anyway! Pesach shalom

The Pink Swastika

Nazi Germany was over-run with violent homosexuals. Most of the leaders were perverts and Hitler was the most perverted of them all.

Germany was a "queer" nation under Hitler, and beginning with the military, the U.S. is fast becoming a violent homosexual culture of death!!

  "Part of the curious half-light of his (Hitler's) sexual make-up which was only slowly beginning to preoccupy me, was that, to say the least, he had no apparent aversion to homosexuals. I suppose it is true to say that in any male movement of this sort, with one man at its head, you are bound to have a lunatic fringe of sexual perverts. Such men admirers will always gravitate into a group which, through its very cohesion, manages to take over some of the leading posts. But the Balts and Prussians, who formed such a large proportion of the membership of these organizations, did not seem to share my misgivings. "Do not worry, these people will fight like lions against Bolshevism. It will be like the Sparta of old," they used to say. "It becomes a sort of Liebestod for them when they fall in front of the enemy." Hitler had a circumlocution for it. "My most enthusiastic followers must not be married men with wives and children," he would proclaim. "No one with family responsibilities is any good for street fighting."(Hanfstaengl, Hitler: The Missing Years, p.78).
