 Fairfax, VA, USA. Social conservatives use the term Homosexual Agenda to describe the advocacy of cultural acceptance and normalization of non-heterosexual orientations and relationships. Sort of like the Heterosexual Agenda but with less vaginal penetration and more anal sex.Alternately, Daily Show host Jon Stewart defined the gay agenda as gay marriage, civil rights protection, Fleet Week expanded to Fleet Year, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance for when it's raining men, Kathy Griffin to host everything and a nationwide ban on pleated pants. [N1] I have been writing various versions of top ten lists patterned on Johnny Carson since before I was in high school. As of last night’s telecast, David Letterman has been doing top ten lists for onwards of 150 years. [N2] It is a venerable tradition. I’m certain that Aristophanes used the form to great effect in one of his lost comedies. Aristotle even said as much. [N3] And now, for the benefit of Mr. Kite, [N4] without further ado THE TOP TEN ITEMS ON THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDANumber 10: SAFE SEXThis is a mandatory entry because it is socially expected and many gay men use condoms every time they have sex with every partner. That’s what I’m told. But many do not. Can you spell bareback?That is a horse of an entirely different color. Number 9: VOTE FOR OBAMAA former number one currently in free fall and endanger of falling off the rainbow agenda.And where the gays go, there goes Maine. [N6] Might be a one season wonder, like last season’s Drag Queen. Number 8: BUY AN iPADWhat’s not to like? A powerful dual core 1GHz processor, a 10.1 inch HD widescreen display, a 2 MP Webcam, a 5MP camera, and a 720p HD video capture and playbackOh wait, that’s the Motorola Xoom Number 7: DINAH SHORE WEEKENDWomen, Dancing. Palm Springs. Women. Lesbians. Lesbians dancing topless. Girl bars. Nekkid lesbians swimming in the pool. What’s not to like? Did I mention women? 30,000 of them. The Greatest Women’s Week on Earth! The only thing missing is golf. [N7]Who’s not to go? Number 6: VACATION IN SOUTH BEACHGreater Miami is the Gay Riviera. South Beach is one of the world's hottest gay destinations — history, culture and nightlife. Gay clubs! Lesbian Bars! Queer Restaurants! And don’t forget the beaches!Just be sure to wash the sand out of the nooks and nannies. Number 5: TICKETS TO THE CIRCUIT PARTYIf you are a gay guy, this is where you want to be. Fort Lauderdale, Palm Springs, Barcelona! I think I see a pattern here. White, Cherry, and who knows where. Bring your condoms and your medical insurance.If you gotta go, this is the way to go. Number 4: ENDA (The Employment Non-Discrimination Act)Another former Number 1 but now everyone’s punching bag. Fingers are pointing everywhere. Drug down by the transgender who insisted that sexual orientation and cross-dressing were equivalent equal rights. So, the gays and lesbians went down the tubes while the transgenders went out on Saturday Night.When will they ever learn? Number 3: SAME SEX MARRIAGEYes! Well, No! Who needs it?Holding steady at Number 3. Ask a lesbian couple and you are pretty sure how they will answer. But ask a young gay guy and he may see no need to get married. What we have here is failure to commit. But a gay guy is still a guy. Why would anyone think that a young gay twink or any man below the age of thirty would be eager to commit to marriage? Certainly not when the milk is plentiful and free. Number 2: REPEAL DON’T ASK DON’T TELLWe have a winner! Soon to be a golden oldie. I’m looking forward to the first of the third marching in the Pride Parade next June.Go Army! Beat Navy! At Fast Pitch Softball. Field Hockey. Tennis. Bareback Riding. And the Number 1 item on the Homosexual Agenda: SCREW THE TRANSSEXUALS!If you talked to enough transsexuals and especially a lot of transgenders claiming to be transsexual, you might come to believe that the gay community really has this on their agenda.Some transsexuals and many more transgenders appear to be virulently homophobic, going so far as to declare that Gays and Lesbians are out to screw the transsexual. The transsexuals who are anti-gay seem to be driven by religion or the fear that somehow people will think they are homosexual if they support gay rights. They resent the Gay and Lesbian attempt, driven by the transgender, to include transsexuals under the great Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, and Transgender umbrella. The logic doesn’t follow, even if the sentiment may be correct, but there it is. Transgenders, angry at the Gay and Lesbian community for having been eventually dropped out of ENDA, blame them for everything from the lack of unisex public bathrooms to the bad press cross-dressers receive in the media. Once it was the Communist who were the problem. Now it’s the gay community who is actively playing mind games with their neighborhood transgender. And if you are a cross-dresser pretending to be a transsexual because your mother thinks cross-dressing is a sin, well then you are undoubtedly sure that the gay community is out to screw the transsexuals. [N7] When really it is everyday society that has grown tired of your cross-dressing, transgender antics. Notes[N1] Jon Stewart, The Daily Show, 14 August 2007.
[N2] David Letterman was the warm-up comic for Our American Cousin when it played Ford’s Theatre. [N3] Aristotle, Poetics II,  Theory of Comedy, copy on loan from private sources.[N4] William Kite, who worked for the Pablo Fanque Circus from 1843 to 1845. [N5] Providence, Rhode Island and South Beach, Florida. San Francisco. New York. The house next door. [N6] The Dinah Shore Weekend showed up in the early 1970’s when the Colgate Company asked singer Dinah Shore to host a women’s golf tournament in Palm Springs. At first it was the Colgate Dinah Shore. After a few years it became known simply as the Dinah Shore. Because of Dinah popularity and her dedication to promoting the tournament it became one of the “majors” for the LPGA and attracted the world's best women golfers. It also became the place to be for lesbians in Southern California who — for reasons yet to be determined — love golf and the women who play it. The Dinah Shore Weekend was born when lesbian entrepreneurs began selling vacation packages during the week of the tournament (traditionally, the last weekend of March). It now hosts nearly 30,000 lesbians. Dinah Shore is gone now and the tournament has a different name, but she lives on in the Dinah Shore Weekend. Ironically, most of the women who come to the Weekend are too young to even remember Dinah. [N7] Obviously, not true.
