Court frequents a message board of ultra-conservative homemaker-mothers who are a wealth of information on cooking, health, cost-savings, child-rearing, etc.Right now the women are all in a tizzy at learning that Katherine Lee Bates, composer of America The Beautiful, was a lesbian (horror of horrors).
Several of the mothers are actually considering having their children skip class when the song is mentioned or sung as part of their American history lesson. Others are now refusing to sing the song, which has long been pitched as a better choice for our national anthem than the more difficult-to-sing Star Spangled Banner.
It's a song forgoodnesssakes!

Do they realise they can give birth to "lesbians"?!?!
Excellent point Lisa. I just dared Court, who is closeted on that board, to tell these mothers that.
That's just asinine. I think, if I were in Court's position, I'd just HAVE to fuck with those mothers in a royal way.
and if they only knew how many songs... among many other nice things in life... were the result of.... whatever their vice is.
Do they realise they can give birth to "lesbians"?!?! And probably already have.
KooKy.
What a bunch of dumb bitches. I don't think I'd have the patience to frequent that message board w/o opening my big mouth.
Having run in that kind of circle in the past, I can tell you they will do some wild things to further their agenda or stifle ours. I know one homeschooling mom whose teenage daughter worked at the local public library. She kept "heather has two mommies" and any other book that talked about anything other than the traditional nuclear family checked out(no fines since she worked there) so that the community would be protected from the dangers of reading them.
I know folks think I'm crazy for my message board choices. I started to explain, but it got long. ;P I think I've got a blog post in the works for tomorrow. I'm sure most people don't really *care* why though... so it might be kinda boring. Ah, well. I needed a blog topic anyway. :)
So, I suppose that they're just skipping the whole Greek civilization too?
Man, if only Francis Scott Key were gay, then the takeover of patriotism would be complete!
Makes me wonder if these moms ever attend the theatre? Movies? Watch TV? 90% of the people involved in writing, acting, and music genres prefer their bread buttered on the same side...........
*sigh. I just don't get the whole mindset of people.
That certainly is a slippery slope those mothers have begun to descend...
On the other hand, if they start denying the contributions made by teh gayz, they can home school their kids in say, five minutes...
Sheesh.
