Alright, back to the news.
Things are pretty sweet for New York state's trans inmates. Except for that prison part…
Transgender youth in New York's juvenile detention centers are now allowed to wear whatever uniform they choose, be called by whatever name they want and ask for special housing under a new anti-discrimination policy drawing praise from advocacy groups.
…
The policy went into effect March 17, the day Gov. David Paterson was sworn into office. Last month, Paterson directed all state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages legally performed elsewhere as valid in New York.Paterson spokesman Errol Cockfield said the policy reflects the state's intent to be "tolerant, responsive and respectful" of gender identity and gender expression issues.
…
The new policy prohibits staff from asking residents about their sexual orientation or gender identity and says any disclosure must be voluntary. It also directs staff to talk to youth who decide to reveal their gender identity.
Could this be "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" at its best?

"Except for that prison part…"
hahaha
There goes that NY Governor Patterson again, always sticking up for gay people. Did you hear that he's black? What?
Well where are Queerty regular racists, Ch***ly and R**V to start screaming anti-black rantings? Where are the others who have to chime in about the "Black Chruch" or how all African-Americans think alike and are homophobic?
Do you think that when there's a story that shows African-Americans as non-homophobic, the racists scurry away like vampires running from the sunlight of truth? Any evidence that disproves their racist theories keep the demonic hordes away like garlic to a vampire or silver to a werewolf.
Damn, what's a white supremacist gay McCain lover to do when his hate and delusional swim into propeller blades of truth? Uh, be chopped up into a sniveling, cowardly cretin with the hope that some moment will come around that like Dr. Frankenstein will sew them back together to terrify the innocent.
Naw, that last part is a bit too harsh on Frankenstein's Monster. After all, he wasn't the villain of the story.
Does anyone know of any evil monsters that when hacked apart can reassemble themselves? If so, please let us know. We need more descriptions for the like of Ch***ly and the Demonic Hordes of Clueless Twisted Racist Gay Guys.
Cool! you didn't call us "trannies"
Queerty, you are learning…maybe other gays can learn not to hate us from your fine example.
Of course, that still leaves gay racism, sexism, etc.
Maybe the gays should focus on GIVING the respect that they whine for all the time.
