Feds Holding Summits for Lesbian Farmers
17th August 2016
Because we really don’t have enough lesbian farmers in this country, don’t you know.
The agency is working with singer and LGBT activist Cyndi Lauper for a “day of conversation” about the struggles of gay and transgender individuals in rural America. The agency says its wants to change the perception of what it means to be a farmer in America away from the “white, rich male.”
At your expense, of course. No doubt you missed the part of the Constitution where that was one of the delegated powers to the Federal government.
“The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Civil Rights, in collaboration with the National Center for Lesbian Rights and The True Colors Fund, will engage with LGBT rural communities across the country to host the LGBT Rural Summit Series,” the USDA said. “Each series will offer a unique opportunity for USDA and other federal agencies to share information relating to policies, programs, and services that exist to protect, promote and strengthen LGBT rural communities.”
I am not making this up.
“Contrary to widely held myths that the LGBT community is largely living in affluent metropolitan areas, studies show a very different and more realistic picture of the LGBT community,” the USDA said. “For a number of reasons, many people in the LGBT community choose to live, work, and raise their families in the rural communities that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is proud to serve.”
Perhaps that’s because ‘affluent metropolitan areas’ are behavioral sinks in which no rational adult would want to live or raise kids.
The agency said nearly 10 percent of all same-sex couples in the United States live in rural areas and are “actually more likely to be families of color and raising children.”
How microscopic a part of the population is represented by 10% of an already negligible portion of the population is left as an exercise for the reader. But no victim class is too small to be ignored by the people spending YOUR tax money.
“We are trying very hard to change people’s mindsets,” Davis said. “When [people] hear ‘rural America,’ I don’t want them to think that means one type of person: a white, rich male.”
Although ‘progressives’ and the Drive-By Media expend millions of dollars every year pounding that message into people’s brains.
“You do have gay farmers who are growing your food,” said Marcus Hollan. “You have lesbian agricultural teachers in your high schools and your colleges teaching youth. It’s time we start recognizing them but also celebrating them.”
That’s like recognizing and celebrating the Zika virus. The zombies have taken over the police department.

Is it really too early to “shoot the bastards”?

For the record, Plano is part of an ‘affluent metropolitan area’.

But not the part with lesbian farmers.
