At least, that seems what the FRC (READ: Funny Religious Cronies... You may know them better as the "Family Research Council...) seems to think in a recent email it sent out to all of it's subscribers. The email read as such:
Oh no! You mean, kids heard gay men... GASP!... sing?!
This past Sunday, at the San Diego Padres baseball game, what was advertised as a "Free Floppy Hat Night" for kids under 14 turned out to be a double play. While the Padres management was enticing families with the giveaway for kids, it was also promoting the evening as a Gay Pride night at the ballpark. Children who received free hats were treated to the Gay Man's Chorus of San Diego singing the national anthem prior to what one homosexual group billed as "Out at the Park with the San Diego Padres."
The San Diego Padres organization should be ashamed that they would promote such an event on a night they specifically designed for the family. On this curveball of an evening, the Padres struck out.
Believe it or not, gay men do not have anal intercourse, give oral pleasure, or even rub each other up and down hoping for a "wardrobe malfunction" while singing the national anthem at a baseball game. Even the high notes don't require one man grabbing another by the balls to squeak out a high C.
As a double bonus, the FRC should be happy they were handing out hats--parents could just grab it by the brim and yank it down over their poor innocent eyeballs! Apparently not having all their gray matter in working order, none of them seemed to think of that...
The email continued with a Call to Action:
Excuse me--but aren't they the ones having a cow because of a singing group? Who's trying to inject politics into the game?
Click the link below to contact the San Diego Padres and tell them that baseball is a family game that shouldn't be used as an exhibition of homosexual lifestyles. The national pastime is just that: an opportunity for fans of the sport to enjoy a game and take respite from the daily grind. It's not place for politics - or political correctness.
I know this may be hard for some to fathom, but there are plenty of gay people--both men and women--who are huge fans of sports. While I may not be counted among their number, I have plenty of friends who are, so it only makes sense for baseball (which, despite being dubbed "America's Favorite Pastime" is having a hard time keeping fans...) to reach out to as many people as possible. That includes families, gays, women, blacks, Hispanics--all of whom have children who could grow up to be the next Sammy Sosa.
Unless, of course, the FRC also thinks only Christians have children... I wouldn't put it past them...
And they call themselves a "research council." Ha!

Did someone sign you up for these emails, or did you do it yourself for blog fodder? BWA HA HA HA!!! I notice you get the most hateful emails, and they are hilarious! You know, these people are under the impression that homosexuality is some sort of contageous disease. If sexuality could be "caught" simply by hanging out with gay people, then why wouldn't gay people "catch strait" by hanging out with everyone else, even if they never told anyone they were gay? Then again, the ignorant never thinks things all the way to the end, even with thier own concepts and ideas...
Some I find on "My Yahoo," some I signed up for emails, and some are just forwarded to me... :D And it's all for blog fodder...
:D
How sad, that the FRC even made it an issue. I wonder, how many "children" even noticed that the group singing were homosexual??? or even cared???
Get a life, FRC!
