Calgary Stampede Employs Homophobic Sexist Survey To Understand Customers, GLAAD And HRC Call For Letterman To Apologize For Transgender Joke, Andy Martin Calls Mark Kirk Pedophile, Australian Surfers, Undergear Underwear Calendar

The Calgary Stampede – an event so archaic it defies description – is doing damage control Wednesday, after a survey sent to 1,000 respondents that asked participants to indicate their feelings from strongly disagree to strongly disagree to a number of statements, including the following: “The only acceptable definition of a family is a husband, wife, and children” and “Some jobs are best suited to men. Women should just accept this.” Spokesperson Doug Fraser defended the questionnaire, saying “we take this information, when it all comes back to us, and we use it for our marketing, for our programming, and for and for our products. They are important questions from the standpoint that they polarize people.”

Both GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign have requested that The Late Show with David Letterman apologize about a joke Letterman made Tuesday evening regarding President Obama appointee as a senior technical advisor at the Commerce Department – Amanda Simpson – who is transgendered. GLAAD wrote that “depicting people reacting in horror to transgender individuals is a dangerous stereotype for popular media to perpetuate because it contributes to the societal conception of transgender people as abnormal and deceptive, which all-too-often results in anti-transgender violence and/or discrimination when played out in reality.” The HRC wrote that the “skit affirmed and encouraged a prejudice against transgender Americans that keeps many from finding jobs, housing, and enjoying freedoms you and your writers take for granted every day.”

Perennial candidate and mental defective Andy Martin, campaigning for a seat in the Illinois Senate, in his latest commercial, called the front runner and competition Mark Kirk a “de facto pedophile.” Last week Martin insisted that Kirk was a homosexual who surrounded himself with homosexuals.
