Mr. What?

Ok, Ok, so, is Worcester going down the crapper? Not only is Hooters Airline being courted by the city officials, a new sort of pageant was held here yesterday. Mr. Hetero. One of the strongest opponents to gay marriage, Ron Crouse, put this lovely event together. Does he know how foolish this is?

Sadly, the media really gave him a lot of airtime during all the equal marriage protests at the state house. They neglected to talk about the rest of his political/religious platform, which is pretty much summed up as marriage is between one man and one woman (God’s way), men have control (God's way), women don’t work and pop out babies (God's way), and Christians are the only ones going to Heaven.

Luckily, the city of Worcester planned to rally against this in many ways including having a vigil and a
queer kiss-in. Worcester Human Rights Commission, the City Manager’s Community Task Force on Bias and Hate Crimes and by Mayor Timothy Murray all spoke against it. It is great when straight allies step up to the line with us and say “Not in my city.” Thanks folks.

I thought about entering Bubby in the Mr. Hetero contest. Wouldn't that be awesome?
