Terror Goes Drag

Are Iraqi insurgents not only stealing our sense of security — but the gay culture as well? Recent reports that suicide bombers and others involved in attacks on American forces aren't just making use of roadside bombs, but of drag. Men dressing as women has long been considered too taboo even for men willing to blow themselves up in the name of Allah, as many Muslims fear the practice would bring innocent women too close to the battle lines. But now it seems to be a growing tactic to avoid suspicion by American soldiers, since it's usually only men who are searched and considered likely suspects. The above MSNBC clip aired this morning.

Riiiight...it's a GAY issue. Because the gay boys own gender variance--it's all drag and only drag!

Sorry, but being read as a man in a dress isn't fun and games for actual transwomen. Some of us are just trying to transition and move on with our lives, and I have a feeling that trans people--especially transwomen--are getting it a little harder from airport security and the like--than your average drag queen.

The global jihad by the Islamo-Fascists is not a gay issue. It is a human issue. The use of "drag" (to use MSNBC's term) by terrorists to avoid capture isn't surprising. They will stop at nothing to destroy us infidels, gays and straights alike. But, it's not really "drag" now, is it? It's not like they're lipsynching Judy or Cher. They are dressing as women to avoid capture, with the end result of killing and maiming people. To learn more about their tactics, check out www.obsessionthemovie.com. You might be surprised by what you see...
