Gay-bias claim vs. transsexual a drag for Lake Worth

[bijou]

Lake Worth might not be the most impressive city in Palm Beach County, but it's the most entertaining one.

Whether it's drum circle gatherings on the beach during full moons, city commission proposals to encourage backyard chicken farming, or becoming a welcoming hub for radical eco-activists, Lake Worth is your go-to city for outside-the-box thinking.

So it made sense that when it came time to hire a new city manager two years ago, Lake Worth opted for Susan Stanton, who lost her manager's job in another Florida city after she had a sex change operation that transformed her from Steve to Susan.

Hooray for Lake Worth!

And it also makes sense that after two years on the job, Stanton is being accused of being too narrow-minded when it comes to men in dresses.

Hooray for Lake Worth again! It's not every city that allows itself to consider whether its city manager, who has actual man-in-a-dress experience, is sufficiently open-minded when it comes to the city's cross-dressing community.  ...

I'm amazed that this sort of row could happen in Florida.

Florida.

Distracting many from Massachusetts!

How is that "outside-the-box thinking"? Many cities do the very same thing.

I've never been to Florida but an old guy once told me everyone gets to Florida at some point.

The article poses a good many issues, but I wouldn't characterize them as being serious. Finding it politically correct to hire a city manager missing a few body parts and embracing a city council member who is apparently gay is the kind of thing that gives one a headache.

Or maybe I'm getting the headache from the drum circles on the beach during full moons.

Wondering about those full moons -- are those the lunar type or or those the fat-ass type?

Now, now, no need to be a drag.

I don't think that Transition worked like you had hoped.

I'm no drag, I bet you feel a heel saying something like that.

How true that is. Sad, but true.

Well, it would appear that we are nigh[l]on a most delicate subject, ain't we?

More talk along these lines will result in a run on retirement homes in Floriduh.
