Gay rodeo rounds up new sponsors

AHH, RODEO, the heritage of the great American West: livestock, cowboys, patriotism and ... drag queens? “Why are you shocked?” asked Denver-based businessman John Beck. “We all have to work together, we have to live on this earth together, right?” For Beck, gay rodeo isn’t simply a hobby. It’s part of daily life. “On average, there are 23 rodeos on the circuit,” he said. ”“In the last few years, I’ve done 15 to 18 of them.” Beck was among the competitors vying for cash prizes at the 17th annual International Gay Rodeo Association U.S. finals recently held here in Tulsa. At a gay rodeo, you’ll find everything from bronc riding and calf roping to steer riding and goat dressing. And you’ll find some things you won’t see at other rodeos.

Excerpted...

[Rodney King]

Tulsa Oklahoma? Only two things come out of Oklahoma. Steers and Queers. Well I don't see no horns on you boy so you got to be queer.

[Ex-Dem]

Wasn't there a King of the Hill episode about gay rodeo?

[Bogey78O]

Yes there was. It starred Dale's father who is a gay rodeo cowboy.

[Paleo Conservative]

So is the clown a draq queen?

[Luke FReeman]

Gives a different meaning to the phrase...

Ride that Sucker!!!

[Callahan]

Jeez, these guys will find any exscuse to wear leather chaps.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Their best event is milking a wild bull.

[YankeeReb]

Why is it that homosexuals have to take everything thats wholesome and taint it with their perversions. It's almost as if their sexual proclivities are all there is about them. They can't just enjoy rodeo as it is along with everyone else, no, they have to inject drag queens. Yech!!!

[Ex-Dem]

Ah, yes, that's the one :). As I recall, Hank's gaydar was a little slow picking up on the fact that it was a GAY rodeo.

[Consort]

They got spurs that jingle jangle jingle.

[Roughneck]

Gays go to rodeos because they like BULLS!

PETA should be called...

[Arpege92]

That is so gross! ;-}

[expatguy]

Rump Rangers?

[Loyalist]

And you’ll find some things you won’t see at other rodeos.

Some information actually subtracts from the sum of human knowledge. Such as this.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

****Tulsa Oklahoma? Only two things come out of Oklahoma. Steers and Queers. ****

You are obviously mistaking Tulsa for Texas.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***Gays go to rodeos because they like BULLS!***

If a gay bull rider gets bucked off does he enjoy getting the bull's horn up his U-NO-WATT?

Ah yes. Another sport based not on bull riding ability but on where you stick your we-we.

[ellery]

Where's the perversion here? I don't believe anyone's having carnal relations in the ring...

[RichInOC]

"Yippy-ki-oh-K-Y!"

[putupon]

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Gay rodeos suck.
