No gay battle flags on public buildings in Hamtramck, a suburb of “America’s Jihad Capital”? Dear me! A Democrat judge at that. I guess it goes without saying that it’s going to be harder to find a host for “Drag Queen Story Hour” than we thought.

And this might go a long way towards explaining why the local Imam rebuffs every attempt to set him up with a nice young trans woman, and why the congregation is noticeably absent from the “Queers for Palestine” marches. Couldn’t even get anyone to cater falafel and hummus! Couldn’t get a congregant to man the dunk tank!

The Alphabet People are being rebuffed actively and passively in the Hamtramck and Dearborn metroplex. Dude, what happened to the rainbow connection?

When worlds collide, hissy fits ensue.

    Well, there are plenty of "Queers for Palestine and Muslims", but there are no movements for "Muslim and Palestine for Queers". The Queers call Muslims "Allies", the Muslims in private call the Queers "tools".

    Now does any of this relate to Ford currently stinking it up as an auto company in Michigan? And why are Broncos so expensive?

    First off, a former boss of mine, very beloved mentor, was from Hamtramck. When he grew up it was a big Polish neighborhood, as was he. He told of playing football. The entire offensive front line spoke Polish so they often changed up the plays when they got to the line of scrimmage and could just yell it out loud in Polish as the other team had no idea of what they were saying. Obviously things have changed.

    Yes colliding worlds cause major hissy fits. In Minnesota news today, about 1,000 state Democrat leaders are calling for action after a recent state Democrat Feminist Caucus meeting reportedly saw “repeated misgendering,” disapproving eyerolls, and suggestions that some attendees “do not understand the feminist movement.”

    Evidently the "traditional" feminists are not welcoming enough to the transgenders who want to be leaders in the Minnesota's Democrat (in MN they are called DFL for Democrat Farmer Labor) Feminist Caucus.
