Thanks to Good As You for bringing the following to our attention
According to a Washington Post article, Bill Frist, the Senate Majority Leader (and anti-gay marriage constitutional amendent advocate) is hosting a party to raise money for other Senators.
The invitation features a blue jeaned cowboy’s whose belt buckle you had to undo to open the card. Umm, OK. On the back, well, as the Post’s Al Kamen commented:
The back of the card shows the cowboy from behind with a red flowered handkerchief sticking out of his right pocket. Wait a minute — wasn’t there something about how this used to be some kind of code in the gay community years ago? A way to signal each other in crowded, noisy bars?
So we checked the GayCityUSA.com’s Hanky Codes. Sure enough, there it was in the chart explaining what they mean: red hanky in right pocket. Oh, dear.
Oh, dear, indeed.
Bill Frist is one of the biggest hypocrites and bigots in the Republican Party. Heaven help us if he makes it to the White House. I have a strong feeling, however, that this nation is sick and tired of the Republican Party’s partying with religious bigots and corporate hogs. I hope this Fall we see a major shift in the Left direction toward a much more liberal congress.
That’s hilarious!
But you know, back in the day I really hated that damn handkerchief code, because I wanted to just wear whatever color I felt like in whichever back pocket I thought felt like. I’m a painter…I like all the colors…and there were whole segments of the spectrum I just couldn’t wear after that damn code was published. Arrg!
And don’t get me started on how it just codified the whole passive/active roll thing. That just doesn’t work for some of us, but if you wanted to wear a handkerchief you had to pick a roll.
Couldn’t you just wear a handkerchief in both pockets?
