To conservatives, the homosexual community is a dark and terrifying place. Yes, I agree it’s strange that a cat comes back to life if a married couple walks over its grave, but aside from that, they’re regular people, right? These four comics say no. Warning: The following excerpts contain material written by morons in an attempt to trick the reader into hating homosexuals. Their research is based exclusively on their wildest fears and imaginations and everything they say should be taken as hilarious.

[Trigger warning: The take-down commentary is humorous, but beware of the awful anti-gay, bigoted sentiment in the comics they’re talking about.]

Since 2006, New York City based portrait photographer Michael Sharkey has been photographing gay teens and young adults as part of his on-going series Queer Kids. Born out of his own struggles coming out in the 80s, Sharkey says the focus of the project, where he…

Asiaelzbieta just sent me an awesome story to something I know many of you have probably seen. I am going to write it up here anyway because I love it too.

There is a preschool in Stockholm who has instituted yet another interesting twist into gendered word and play with their preschoolers. Instead of referring to the children as “he” and “she” they refer to them as “friend.”

One 31 year old teacher at Egalia, Jenny Johnsson, said the following: “Society expects girls to be girlie, nice and pretty and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing, Egalia gives them a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be.”

Here are some of the facts about Egalia:
- It is funded by taxpayers
- It opened only a year ago
- Children aged 1-6 are the attendees
- It is an example at the forefront of Sweden’s attempts to strive towards equality for both sexes starting in childhood and extending onward

In Egalia lego blocks and kitchen sets sit side by side and are open for both genders to play with. They do this to promote the idea that there are no mental barriers between cooking and building.

Annnd… wait for it… They foster an accepting environment for lesbians, gays and bisexuals! On their bookshelf proudly sits a book about two male giraffes who are childless and sad due to the fact, so they adopt a baby crocodile! In fact, it is said that most of the books on their shelf deal with homosexual couples, single parents or adopted children. No Cinderella on their bookshelf!

Of course their schools comes with protest from different groups. Some say its racist, other emasculating. I think its interesting and perhaps even a big step forward. What do you think?
