Wow, closet liberals hiding out on FR that seem to be offended. Who would have thought?
Not “PC Offended” here. They can do whatever they wish for charity. To be blunt, it just looks ugly. If I was in that town and supported this particular cause, this little performance would not stop me from writing a check. Of course not! In many ways, I have lived a very privileged life, a blessed life. So I try to help others less fortunate.
I just wouldn’t be in THIS audience, clapping wildly. That’s why I said, to each his or her own. I’ll find some other way to help.
If this is what entertains this group of generous people, then so be it.
Others might think it is in seriousness - the sort of thing that San Fransisco might do. Hence the claims of being embarrassed to come from Idaho. Of course then I would think the crowd might be filled with gay men and other cross-dressers. Not a bunch of middle-aged women.
