This is actually pretty sad:
More than 100 gay families have signed up to attend the White House’s annual Easter egg roll in April.
“It will help Americans see real gay, lesbian and transgender headed families,†said Jennifer Chrisler, executive director of Family Pride, one of the groups spearheading the event.
This is the first year Family Pride has organized gay families to participate in the event.
Chrisler said some “fringe groups†have attacked them. “The right always gets very concerned when LGBT parents show up with their children,†she said. “The more we are the same, the less potent the arguments are for discriminating against us.â€
No, actually, most people couldn’t care less if LGBT parents show up. What they care about is a group playing petty politics with a Holiday. As Mark Noonan at Blogs for Bush writes
How about, instead, we just let the kiddies have their Easter Egg roll without activists using it to make a point? Where, please tell me, does politics finally end? Is everything in this country to become a political hot potato?
If you are gay or lesbian or what have you and you have children, then by all means show up for the event…but remember: the event is for the kids to have unfettered fun, not for anyone to make a political statement.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a holiday or occasion that those with an axe to grind from the Left will not use to push their agenda or provide some sort of caterwauling. They do not know when to leave it alone, to take a break, to chill out. Heck, as we have seen, they will use any occasion, including the funerals of those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, to push their agendas.
Remember this from Easter last year?
Of course, the DU Insanalibs think that King George will find some excuse or something to stop them from attending. Quite frankly, if Bush was able to fit in all the micromanaging that he is pro-ported to do from the Left into his day, people should be pretty impressed. That is ALOT of work.
Disgusting. Reminds me of the “invasion” of Tricia? Nixon’s tea party when she was a child. No shame by liberals.

I am surprised the ACLU hasn’t attacked the Easter Eggs as being a prop for the Christian observation of Easter.
Umm, I think you just gave them the idea, Chief. Actually, it is surprising that they haven’t attacked having easter egg hunts on public property.
Nothing worse than watching people use kids to push their own agends, is there. Thank God I won’t be seeing any of that on Monday when the annual forced pregnancy march goes through town. All those folks pushing strollers with signs “thanks for not killing me” — they won’t be there for the first year ever! Good to hear.
