Call me crazy, but I am a dyed flaming redheaded conservative, alternative rock-loving, tattooed, Sinead O'Connor fan who knows every song from the '50's and '60's, and card carrying member of the Republican party.

As most of you know, I am a conservative, but in the spirit of equal opportunity criticism, I have to expose the stupidity of some people in the Christian community and unfortunately Texas.

It seems a school in Spurger, TX had a tradition of a dress up day called, "TWIRP Day." (The Woman Is Requested To Pay) On this day, boys dressed as girls, and girls dressed as boys. It was a role-reversal day of fun where girls asked the boys for dates.

Enter Liberty Legal Institute, a right-wing Christian legal group....

Evidently, unbeknownst to past classes of the school, this "cross-dressing" day promotes homosexuality!

WHAT?!? Yep, I am serious.

"It might be fun today to dress up like a little girl -- kids think it's cute and things like that. And you start playing around with it and, like drugs, you do a little here and there (and) eventually it gets you," Davies told reporters.


"It is outrageous that a school in a small town in east Texas would encourage their 4-year-olds to be cross-dressers," institute litigation director Hiram Sasser said.


Unfortunately, a few parents with their panties in a wad caused the school to cave in. The new theme for dress-up day is now "Camouflage Day," where students don clothing hunters wear during deer-hunting season.

Lawyers and uptight Christians still run amuck on the streets of Spurger, TX.

Oh for fucks sakes....

...some people seem to have nothing better to do than suck the fun out of everything they come across.   Everything has to have some kind of negative, anti-christian, anti-god connotation. 

Did someone explain to them that homsexuality isn't contagious?  That wearing a dress for fun one day isn't going to turn anyone gay?

Evidently not considering that the idiots won the lawsuit!

hehehe... I know a Southern Baptist University that has TWIRP week. I guess someone should tell them that's why they have the saying, "Maried by April or Gay by May."

That's funny. er, the idea, not that the lawyers made them stop, that part is stupid. But the part where the kids play dress up.

That would be "Blaze Orange Day" you can't wear camo during firearms deer season....

No, there is just no such thing as a little innocent fun anymore....

Man, would the christians here in the heart of the bilble belt would have a field day with this one. The thought of having the kids practice cross-dressing at that age is really depressing and just down right wrong. Not to mention very, very, very strange. When I was 4 years old, I was worrying about catching "koodies" from girls, and know they want them to dress like girls at that age. Plus, having the girls dress up as guys. Jeez, where did the morality run off to?

Inasmuch as it's still the responsibility of the parents to determine what is and is not appropriate dress for their kids, it seems bizarre that those who took offense chose to make a huge stink and act all outraged instead of just not allowing their children to participate. There are rapes and murders going on as I type this. Children are starving. People are dying of cancer. Kids are being molested. Is this really these Christian parents' priority? Very sad.

They'd die if they saw this:



That's a bra on his shoulders, and panties around his neck. It's only been about 5 years since this photo was taken, so no word yet on if it made him gay or not.

Too cute, Tex. Don't think the dress up day will decide either way.

Exactly. Religious zealots run amuck!

Playing in the laundry is always fun. He'd kill me now if he knew I'd posted that.

I agree. Dressing a child this way or that has no bearing on it.

Exactly. Religious zealots run amuck!


Think what they could have accomplished had they funneled all that energy into some type of community service project. *shakes head*

Just do what I do, tell them to write your humiliation of them in their journal to tell their therapist when they go to college.

I shudder to think of it!

I do hope that was sarcasm I detected.
