Odd.
No same sex couples.
And no same sex couples with kids.
I choose to see this as some heteronormative oversight that reinforces all the worst stereotypes and not something sinister. Not a ‘heads must roll’ moment but certainly time for a nanosecond’s ‘pause for thought’.
On a bad day I would take it on board that the government doesn’t acknowledge that we queers have families and that our families are worth protecting just as much as the straight families are but that’s not this government’s way. They’re mostly better than that, especially if you exclude Winston and Shane from the mix.
However, it’s not turning out to be a bad day so, this time, the government gets the benefit of the doubt – but someone, somewhere, should be encouraged to have an ‘oh fuck’ moment and be asked to take a serious look at themselves.
Don’t you think?
Don’t you? It is 2020 after all.
After all, the message is ‘we’re all in this together’ isn’t it? Not ‘we’re all in this together except for the faggots, the dykes, and the trannies and all their evil spawn’?
I’m right about that, aren’t I?
Well, aren’t I?
