T. GAMBLE: 2015 a tough year for those of us stuck in 1975 - The Albany Herald
In just the last few weeks, the Boy Scouts of America recently announced they will allow gay scoutmasters and Bruce Jenner, now known as Caitlyn Jenner, won the Teen Choice Award. I guess when they named it the Teen Choice Award they really meant it was a choice award. Now, Target stores has announced a new gender-neutral policy, lest we dare even insinuate that boys and girls might be even a tad bit different. Stay drunk or sober up. Not one single person ever told me I could choose to be female instead of a male. If I told my Dad I was going on a Boy Scouts camping trip with a gay scout leader … well, I won’t even go there. I am afraid I am stuck in 1975, and its 2015, and I don’t even know what planet I am on. Of course, back in 1975, I often did not know what planet I was on, but that is a different subject for a different day. as male or female, or color boys sections blue and girls sections pink, lest, heaven forbid, someone may become offended. I am offended and I am through with Target, the Boy Scouts, and 98 percent of the rest of the world. We’ll eat chicken seven days a week — oops, make that six days, as Chick-fil-A is closed on Sunday. Maybe I can eat with the preacher on Sunday, since I will no longer be able to shop on Sunday, like I ever shopped in my entire life on Sunday to begin with. Source: www.albanyherald.com
