I got a letter today from some guy named Dave (we are everywhere) who sent me a petition to sign asking for an amendment to the city charter to prevent mayor Anise Parker's gay agenda. (Anise Parker is openly gay.) It seems that she has not come down hard on gays and transvestites who use the bathrooms of the opposite sex. (I'm not sure if that's the right term, but I can't think of any other way to describe it.) The flyer comes complete with a cartoon of a drooling man in a dress leering at an innocent young girl in the bathroom.
Normally, when I get junk mail like this, I toss it, but this made me annoyed enough that I spent a stamp to send his letter back to him with a nasty note saying I don't support bigotry and homophobic causes.
But I'm willing to be convinced that what I did was wrong. I suppose it is possible that some "transvestites" are actually heterosexual child molesters, though I seriously doubt they are prowling bathrooms in drag. So I find his worries unlikely though, but as I say, I will listen to evidence, even anecdotes, to the contrary.
