Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, May 28, 2009

An openly gay teen was voted prom queen at Los Angeles' Fairfax High School in a campaign that began as a stunt but ended up spurring discussion on the campus about gender roles and teen popularity. "I feel invincible," said Sergio Garcia, 18, as he was crowned queen in his tiara and charcoal-gray tuxedo.

Those whacky kids. They really hate the gays. This was a big 'go fuck yourself' to the uptight assholes (orange county) and religious fanatics.

This fills me with hope that the kids of the future can see through all this bullshit and treat people like people. Good for them.

Now, if they would only do something about that Pelosi problem.

Other students weren't as happy, and suggested many voted for Garcia just to see the spectacle of two boys dancing together at the prom.

That sounds about right but of course the politically correct prefer the spin that was put on it

It is mostly the old farts that make up the majority of the same-sex marriage opponents. In the latest Gallup Poll, 59% of those under 30 favored full marriage rights for same-sex couples.

Sergio better remember to let the guy lead when dancing.

This is perfectly credible, and I love stories like this!

One of the places I waited tables many years ago was owned by people from a notoriously conservative Christian area. One of our gay co-workers could have been the inspiration for Sean Hayes' character on Will and Grace, and loved messing with people.

Before a corporate visit, our manager warned the staff to keep things "toned down." Wasn't a problem for my gay coworkers, but in a show of solidarity, a couple of the straight cooks took every opportunity they had to do their best "gay" act, including a faked kiss that had us fighting the tears back.

Still miss the work environment from my restaurant days -- easily the healthiest I've ever been part of.

This is perfectly credible...

...meaning I don't doubt that the students voted the guy prom queen in a show of solidarity.

I understand completely, Phoenix. Outside of the military, my current work environment is the closest knit I've ever had. I've never worked anyplace where there was so little animosity (it is virtually non-existent) and sch comoraderie. People look out for each other and take care of each other. We are literally like family. I'm lucky to work with such people.

Now there's twelve words you don't see together in that order every day.

Agreed.

Maybe not all of them but the vast majority anyway.

The moral evolution is undeniable.

Nice story.

Good eye.

Be Well.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by who they love but by the content of their character.

I can so relate to your restaurant days, Phoenix!

I used to work in a Mexican restaurant -- nice lunch/dinner restaurant with a separate cocktail lounge -- and boy the fun we all use to have. Often a lot of the employees all went out for drinks after closing the bar and then we'd all end up up at Denny's for "breakfast." What a crazy crowd you'd get with the "after hours" breakfast gang. Sure beat working at some desk in a cubicle.

But then I decided it was time to move on to a more serious career. But I did like waitressing (although it could be hard work!) and enjoyed being a cocktail waitress too. Paid for getting me through college and paid off my car not to mention you sure got to meet a real variety of people, that's for sure.

We used to all wear Mexican skirts and peasant blouses as "our uniform" which looked like just like this one which we'd buy at some of the stores on Olvera Street in Los Angeles. But we always wore our skirts much shorter than the one shown in that link. Better tips. lol!

I have a dream that my four little children will one day meet up with yours, give them wedgies, and take their lunch money.

The football team met in closed session to discuss the assassination of the questionable gendered Queen. There will be a combination wake and celebration "bash" at the Prom. David Duke has been invited to speak and will share the podium with the president of the Gay Students Union. Where upon a second death may just be started.

Kind of reminds me of the days when we elected the class stoner for 9th grade class president. He flunked out and we never saw him again.

Better tips. lol!

Tart and Smart, eh?

I told Gimmee unless the roadkill was Mexican style no self-respecting Surfer Girl would care to dine. Now when he thinks of those peasant blouses he'll be forlorn as well as forsaken. He's gonna drink with Rasta he's that lonely. HaHaHa.

Did you see my "leash / collar" post?

In the latest Gallup Poll, 59% of those under 30 favored full marriage rights for same-sex couples.

I've said it many times... the stale old fuckers who peddle this "culture war" are about to kick off anyway.

My advice... do what you can to make their lives more stressful, and expedite the process. "Pride" parades are an excellent start - they get a fundie's blood pressure sky high.

WTG I hope it was done out of respect for the CDer and not some bullshit making fun of the gurl.

What a national embarrassment.

When a mental illness (vagaphobism - fear of the vagina) is touted as something positive, something to be celebrated - this country (the USA) is really digging a deeper grave for itself.

Our enemies see weakness.
They believe we are ripe for the taking.

Tosser loves stories like this because it confirms what he believes to be true:
Americans are weak, pathetic & stupid.

American culture peaked during the fifties; we are declining rapidly.

Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong IL & Tosser are LOL at how foolish and asleep we have become.

Wake the fuck up - pussies!

He's gonna drink with Rasta he's that lonely. HaHaHa.

#16 | Posted by OzarkAggie

Nah I'm gonna drink with rasta cause I've come to the conclusion rasta is a girl due to her clumsy attempts to sound macho as indicated by her posts plus it's obvious she's desperate enough put out in return for a sterno lit romantic roadkill dinner.

But when I'm done with her I'll go back to work on Chris not so much that I want Chris but cause it's the principle of thing. I can't let a Cali Girl turn me down what kinda man would I be then? (that's a rhetorical question no need to answer)

Wake the fuck up - pussies!

Lol, dean is a parody of himself...

I couldn't make him look like more of an idiot if I tried...

Often a lot of the employees all went out for drinks after closing the bar and then we'd all end up up at Denny's for "breakfast."

Yeah, couldn't do that while I was in school, but watched the sun rise with my coworkers any number of times during a year off.

...not to mention you sure got to meet a real variety of people, that's for sure.

Best part.

We used to all wear Mexican skirts and peasant blouses as "our uniform" which looked like just like this one...

Oh maaaaaaan... did that for a short time too -- in a similar uniform -- but at a restaurant I couldn't stand. Used to make a competing Mexican restaurant owner's day -- I'd stop by his place still in my uniform to get something to eat after work.

In HS, I used to work at a Polo club and restaurant. Between shifts, the waiters, cooks, busboys (me) would go to what we called "white rock road" because it was made of crushed limestone. (it is now Dallas N Tollway just N of FM 544 in Plano) We smoked our brains out and usually had a pilfered bottle of wine or liquor from the bar. If it was between shifts, we'd all go back stoned as hell.

Ahh -- those were the days.

Good memories, fun times, huh?

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by who they love but by the content of their character."

If you are doing it with another dude, your character is not making it, whether that hairy butt of his has a civil union certificate or not.

I'm a Christian Fundamentalist? Thanks for telling me that I always thought I was a devil-may-care Deist with a touch of Jew due to my fondness for kosher food. Just an educated hunch but you must be a founding member and archbishop of the Church of Fucking Nitwits.

It would be fun. I've done similiar get togethers. I used to belong to a cooking group where we would create recipes and try them out. There were ~10-12 of us. (I still stumble across the recipes now and then on web pages. If I google the name of our group, a lot of them come up -- even 15 years later) We met three different times. Once in Baltimore, once in San Diego and once in Texas. It was a lot of fun

I'd like to form a cooking group like that again.

What we did is we would decide what kind of dish to make: salad, entree, chicken -- whatever. We took turns either adding an ingredient or a specific step. E.G #1 says "Chicken" #2 says "Garlic" #3 says "saute" #4 says "wine" -- etc. It was a lot of fun.

We were even starting to put together a cookbook. This was about the time desktop publishing was becoming feasible. But *sigh*, it never came to be. I still have all the recipes, though.

Aren't those two things one and the same?

Actually I think Spudmeister and I would get bored and go to a strip club after about 10 minutes.

It would suck to be crowned Prom King......Um...Never mind.

This guy's election as prom queen makes a mockery of the whole concept of kings and queens which are just opportunities for the most popular kids to feel superior to the average ones. I always avoided contact with that "in" crowd and thought most of them seemed pretty vapid, including the guys.

How come no response from the Prom King? This is a once in a lifetime experience and he will have to live with the dishonor of not having a beautiful (female) Prom Queen. Kids are so stupid and inconsiderate!

This fills me with hope that the kids of the future can see through all this bullshit and treat people like people.

#1 | Posted by Lipzoidial

Uhm... The kids of the 60s were supposed to leave all "this bullshit" behind. Those who came out of the "enlightened" 60s are now running the country, working the jobs, being the parents, etc.

What happened with that?

At best, the blacks finally got the vote.

As for the rest...

American culture peaked during the fifties; we are declining rapidly.

#19 | Posted by dean_buvia

White male American culture peaked during the fifties.

You musta liked the woman in the kitchen, the blacks on the other side of the street and not eating in your restaurant, the Mexicans working practically for free in the fields harvesting your salad, the indian confined to the res, the Wonder bread white government.

Lemme guess: you're white.

"If you are doing it with another dude, your character is not making it, whether that hairy butt of his has a civil union certificate or not."

That was a joke, right Chris?

And the residents of Sodom gathered round the 50 yard line at the homecoming game, and they did protest loudly in their leather and chains with transgendered friends holding hands. And the revelling crowd cheered them on as officials placed the crown upon the impaired effeminate male. "Three cheers for our Queen!" said the onlooking crowd. And the Queen did respond in good Sodom fashion, "Bring me all your men, that I might know them!"

And the crowd answered with heartfelt joy, "Hooray for moral degredation! Hooray for degeneracy and perversion! Hooray for our debasement of the common good! Hooray...Hooray...Hooray!"

I thought the line about the kids voting him in to see two guys dancing would make a lot of sense, considering the mentality I had in high school.

...the mentality I had in high school. -- #43 | Posted by thegoose

Different era. "Will and Grace" was unimaginable when I was a kid, and I didn't know anyone in real life who was out.

It's amusing to watch high school kids pretending that what they do matter.

Beginning five minutes after graduation, most people are able to count on one hand the number of kids they went to high school with that they ever speak to again.

The only thing more pathetic than this kid thinking he's "invincible" as a result of a high school prank, are the other prom-queen wannabes who thought that a popularity contest in high school means anything at all.

This is nothing new here in CA. Back in the early eighties My Jr. College had a gay home coming queen. Everyone got a good laugh at it and no one took it too seriously.

Same thing here. Those who support Sergio are trying to make a political statement.

Those who do not support Sergio are laughing at him (and his supporters) and not with him.

If the Prom King is straight, this could make for a somewhat awkward after-party...

This needs to be seen by all parents who send their kids to a public school. It shows them how the left will never stop advancing their HOMO agenda. They want to see it in our schools, on tv, on our courts, in lifes, and in your face. Just read the comments of most of the gays on here about how they love to pusht the boundries. THis is why it wont stop with Gay marrige or any other offerings until they have required gay class in high school.

No such thing as a gay rupube, huh WI?

WI Hunter you sure have a lot of anti-gay venom. What I find funny is that those who hate gays the most are actually gay.

The only reason any gay boy who is not also a pre-op transexual, tries to become prom queen is to force some straight guy to dance with him if he wins.

What I think is far less likely than his winning prom queen (which probably has more to do with ridicule than acceptance... depending on the school I guess) would be for him to win prom king. Think about it.

Hmmmmm.... I wonder how WI and the rest of the anti-homes here would react if it would'a been an openly gay girl wanting to be Prom King and dressing in a really sharp tux and dancing with the straight girls.

"...their HOMO agenda. They want to see it in our schools, on tv, on our courts, in lifes, and in your face."

Well, boys and girls, gays (both male and female flavors) are in our schools, on tv, in our courts, and in our lives. They're everywhere they're everywhere. They have always been there, they are there, and they always will be. They tend to get in your face 'cause y'all want to keep 'em down, keep 'em oppressed, refuse them equal treatment under the law of the land.

I dont hate Gays. I hate the gay agenda and how they feel they need to shove it in your face and try to influence kids to help them justify their own feelings. I dont wear my sexuality on my sleeve and dont think it's appropriate to use it to advance my sexual fetishes and I do have some rather kinky ones. But what I do sexually is my business and I dont make it someonelese like the gay agenda trys to do.

That makes no sense whatsoever since none of this is really about sex. The Supreme Court struck down the last of the old sodomy laws some years back. So whatever any of us do behind closed doors, as long as it is consensual is legal.

And nobody is trying to "influence your kids". However, since the suicide rate among GLBT teens is unacceptable, it MIGHT be nice if they found a little more acceptance in society, eh?

WI Hunter, you are gay but hate the gay agenda? The only gay agenda I know about is trying to get equality. Most gays I know don't want to be treated special they want to be treated fair. If that is the gay agenda I support it 100%

Is electing that sinner supposed to be an honor, or are they mocking him and calling him a queen?
It's most likely that the pure of heart and mind (the religious students) voted that deviant as the queen in order to shame him in to seeking god's help. The poofter clearly needs god's guidance and should turn to him for a cure. If he's ashamed to face god, he should try electric shock therapy. It worked for Rock Hudson.

well dont you know that he was just as cute as he could be...

and people wonder why we think of people from california as being "different"

well we dont think that of YOU >>>CHRIS>>..(he said rolling his eyes skyward)....:)

I feel invincible," Garcia said in his tiara and charcoal-gray tuxedo.

"I will be wearing a suit," he said. "But don't be fooled, deep down I am a queen."

Really sad. Pathetic. Maybe he can receive reassignment surgery7 if California still has the money.

Come on, if they are smart enough to understand the social and political ramifications of electing an openly gay male as a queen (didn't that word use to be a slur about on the same level as the "N" word?) but not smart enough to make their own decision on drinking, driving, drug use, sexting, or any of a thousand other things that we as "responsible" adults prevent or attempt to prevent them from doing.

That said, I wouldn't care if they elected a goat, or goatman, or a vibrating butt-plug if that's what they want... its one of the few freedoms they get.

But GOD forbid if they decided to have a prayer read at graduation!

I think the drugs these kids parents did in the 60s has severely affected the judgement of some of these kids. My bet is most of them did it not to promote a gay agenda, but for shits and giggles seeing the prom king forced to dance with the school queen.
