I Know Texas-bashing has become a liberal sport -

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Camouflage was in and cross-dressing was out at a rural East Texas school district after a Christian legal group complained a long-standing school tradition of reversing social roles for a day would promote homosexuality.

Students in Spurger, Texas were encouraged by school officials to wear camouflage hunting gear to class on Wednesday after they called off their annual "TWIRP Day" in which boys dressed as girls and vice versa.

The cross-dressing tradition began some years back as a kind of Sadie Hawkins Day where girls ask boys to go out on dates.

TWIRP stands for "The Woman Is Requested To Pay."

But Delana Davies, who has two children in the Spurger school, complained this year that the tradition could promote homosexuality and got the Liberty Legal Institute, a right-wing Christian legal group, to take up the cause.

"It might be fun today to dress up like a little girl -- kids think it's cute and things like that. And you start playing around with it and, like drugs, you do a little here and there (and) eventually it gets you," Davies told reporters.

Pfftht. Everybody knows the Lifestyle board exists in an alternate dimension, and that people who frequent the CE boards require a certain transdimensional teleportation device to get there. This device is difficult to come by, of course, which is why those of us here frequently miss things posted there.

It's like cross dressing has some sort of physiological addiction. The kids won't be able to stop!

Texas really is a great state. Unfortunately most of the world doesn't realize it because of this kind of embarassing shit. Seriously come to Austin and see that not all of Texas fits these negative stereotypes. This is a big state with a lot to offer and many great people.

We libs don't hate all texans, just the dumb-as-hell right-wing majority. I'm sure there are diamonds in that rough...

Seriously, though, that's an amazingly dumb quote.
