A womxn, a Genderqueer and a Heterocentrist Walk Into a Bar ...

... and there they meet up with a polyamorist (who orders a beer with a chaser), a cupiosexual (drinks non-alcoholized beer), a greysexual (put water in his wine), a pomosexual (ordered the un-labelled home-made brew), a spectrasexual (gazed for an hour entranced by the menu list), a sapiosexual (only drinks wine with a label in Latin), and a neptunic -- who couldn't decide what to order.  

Did you know how many genders and sexual identities there are and the poetic labels used for

them?

"Rainbows are nothing new to us mixologists," says the philosophical bartender. "People walk in here full of diversity, but once drunk they're all the same. Drunk is drunk -- inebriation's a great equitizer and way to relax and chill in a fragmented world."

 

Toppling Statues of Privileged White Guys -- Civic Bylaw is in the Works

VICTORIA CITY COUNCIL EXPECTED TO HAVE 

BYLAW IN PLACE THIS WINTER

In case we're to be cursed by a snowy white winter this year, Victoria is introducing a bylaw forbidding Frosty the Snowman figures in private yards and public parks. Families are asked to respect the multi-cultural sensitivities of their neighbourhood.

"Frosty is a snow-white icon of privilege. The sight of him triggers PTSD in some members of the community when they walk by," say councillors. "This symbol of oppression has no place in our parks and gardens."  

"And why is he always male?" ask #metoo supporters.

"And why does he get a scarf when our homeless population is experiencing coldness?" ask activists.

"And why, what with the CRD smoking ban, is he smoking a pipe?" ask health officials.

Pro-Council journalists ask and answer the classic journalists' questions:

Who?      White male

What?     Middle-class throw-back

When?    Colonial dark ages

Where?   Gardens of single family dwellings

"The detached house and garden harbour negative anti-social elements," declares Council. "Housing should be crowded, inclusive and multi-use."

A local university History prof agrees: "Frosty snow-statues are a dangerous symbol of privileged white-guy supremacy. Topple them!"

"With that top-hat, Frosty even looks like John A. Macdonald, whose statue was fortunately removed from public view outside City Hall to spare passers-by the obscenity of its presence," added the prof's colleague.

"If you build a Snow-White-Man and someone throws red paint on it, don't come to us with complaints," say Councillors. "We will begin with public education, but continued non-compliance with the Frosty Ban will result in fines."
