Pssst. George W. Bush is Gay

Now that I have your attention....

Seriously, though, the way the wingnuts are going, can speculation about C-Plus Caligula be far behind? I mean, there are only so many cartoon characters they can impugn, and they're rapidly running out. I think only the denizens of Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends are left. So who's next? I mean, Gannonguckert has said that Kerry would be the first gay president, and they've been calling Hillary a dyke for years.

The latest gay subversive trying to Corrupt Our Children is that jolly old green ogre himself, Shrek.

Yes, Shrek.

I swear, you can't make this stuff up:

Uh-oh!

That other jolly green giant could be in trouble.

Shrek 2 is the latest animated film title to be "outed" by Christian fundamentalists in the U.S.

On its website the Traditional Values Coalition (news - web sites) is warning parents about the cross-dressing and transgender themes contained in the hit DreamWorks feature, now on DVD.

"Shrek 2 is billed as harmless entertainment but contains subtle sexual messages," says the coalition, which describes itself as a grassroots inter-denominational lobby with more than 43,000 member churches.

"Parents who are thinking about taking their children to see Shrek 2 may wish to consider the following."

The article then proceeds to describe one of the characters, an "evil" bartender (voiced by Larry King) who is a male-to-female transgender in transition and who expresses a sexual desire for Prince Charming.

In another identified scene, Shrek and Donkey need rescuing from a dungeon by Pinocchio and his nose, which is made to extend as an escape bridge by getting the wooden boy to lie about not wearing women's underwear.

The TVC report, A Gender Identity Disorder Goes Mainstream', raps DreamWorks for helping to promote crossdressing and transgenderism.

Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd were unavailable for comment, though Mr. Incredible insisted, "Elastigirl is not a beard! We did not get married just so we could win the Oscar®. We have a normal, heterosexual marriage, as evidenced by our three children. And now that Jack-Jack has shown some special abilities, that should put an end to speculation that he was adopted as part of our attempt to pass for straight."
