Council
votes to rename "Smear the Queer"
The ISTQ council voted today to rename one of America's favorite
pastimes."Smear the Queer," an incredibly fun game in
which hordes chase down and tackle any person who has the ball,
has been around since the gay old days of this country. The game,
which involves manhandling your opponent and wrestling them to
the ground, hasn't changed much throughout the years.
"For years, many a youth have played the game, chasing down
the Queer. Of course, with Queer meaning the person who is different,
the person who has the ball. Everyone wants his ball, so the best
way for them to gain control of his ball is to smear him,"
stated council member John Conway.
"We were concerned that the game's name may be insensitive
to those who are Queer. We don't want our children to grow up
thinking it is okay to smear a Queer. Queers deserve the same
amount of respect as the rest of us."
The council voted on "Smear the Tranny" since the transgendered
community has yet to become a force to reckon with.
