This article is comedy gold, and accidentally informative on a few issues.
Opinion A good reason to #EndFathersDay: It's a gendered holidayComedy gold! And the gaystapo keep rolling along. Why? Because progressives. Never. Stop.
"My confused daughter" - Do you see what YOU did to his daughter, evil society? YOU confused her, not him. Of course, the ONLY solution to what you've done to his daughter is that YOU must abandon this tradition, all of society must change for his feelings and life choices.
"Once my little girl started nursery school, she presented us with felt pumpkins, turkey lookalikes and pipe cleaner hearts, something for every non-religious holiday, and I joyfully hung them all on the refrigerator."
Note, he is compelled to add 'non-religious'. (Because progressives never stop).
Also note, he is either ignorant of or chooses to ignore/misrepresent that THANKSgiving was started as thanks TO GOD. Certainly the secular now embrace it. It's Orwellian to present it this way.
"But when Mother’s Day rolled around, I panicked. My child has many different mothers: a godmother, two grandmothers, a birth mother. But no mom, because she has two dads."
OH NO! Certainly no single parent including widows/widowers has ever faced this HORROR. The LAST thing these two clearly fully qualified parents should think to do is say, "We're different, honey, and different does not mean bad." NOPE. Society is not conforming to how he FEELS, and that gives him a sad we must correct.
What a fine lesson for his daughter. Clearly she'll grow up happy and healthy.
"A week before the May mommy celebration, I approached the preschool director. "
That's right! You go make that teacher conform, or lawsuits await. That's equality!
"My confused daughter left her handmade papery carnations on the kitchen counter, uncertain of their rightful owner."
'Both of us' was too hard.
What STELLAR parents. His confused daughter is sure to grow up stable.
"Recent census data indicates only 19% of homes are composed of traditional moms, dads and kids. More than 11 million residences with kids are headed by a single person or a same-sex couple. These families too have to be fumbling through one of the parents’ holidays."
Progressives have caused as much damage as they can do so far, but there is so much more to be done!
"As a son, I'll have to remember a new date and send two remembrances (flowers for mom, socks for pop). But after grappling with my gayness, adopting a baby and making sacrifices as a father every day, letting go of gendered holidays could be my easiest act yet."
I support this! No longer should we pretend women have anything unique to offer a child! Excellent! Now THAT'S progress!
Do you see what progressivism does to the mind?
Done fisking the article, now let me tell you what's next in gaystapo land:
More and more progressives will sniff in derision at Mother's and Father's Day, treating those who celebrate them as bigots.
Then there will be lawsuits in government schools, because "the children!" are uncomfortable.
Then businesses who offer anything for Mother's or Father's Day will be FORCED by law, regulation, and lawsuit to offer something for Parent's Day or cease their current "discrimination".
And the insanity will march on. Because progressives never stop, not even after they have their jack boot on your throat. But no, there is no agenda. No, sir. If you say there is I'll post a gif making fun of you.
EDIT: Libs will of course laugh that this is a hoax.
