Democrat incumbent attacks openly gay primary challenger for being a drag queen
A Democratic member of the Delaware House of Representatives says he’s sorry for lashing out at his primary challenger for hosting the drag fundraiser in October.
Rep. Earl Jaques attacked his opponent Eric Morrison, who is openly gay, after Morrison performed in drag at a fundraiser last month to help raise money for his campaign.
44-year-old Morrison is running against 72-year-old Jaques in the Democratic primary next year for his seat in the Delaware House of Representatives, which he has held since 2010.
“That’s so far off-base for our district, it’s unbelievable,” Jaques told the News Journal about Morrison’s drag fundraiser. “You wonder what the point is. You can have fundraisers, I don’t care about that. But dressing in drag? Really?”

Jaques, a Christian who voted against same-sex marriage in 2013 and chose to abstain from voting on a bill to ban conversion therapy, went on to mention all the churches in his district and implied good Christian folk would never vote for a female impersonator.

who must have been of an age.
Since I'm a boomer and of that same certain age, aren't I allowed to mock myself and my generation in good fun, of course? Or am I discriminating against myself? 
around twitter. It started with a young New Zealand politician making a speech and was interrupted by some man and she briefly interjected "Okay, Boomer" into her speech as she kept on talking. I was just being twitter funny. I forget how sensitive we all are in this difficult and perilous time. I feel I can say that since I am indeed a Boomer; although I'm cheering on the next generation and of course all people my age aren't total assholes...just the white ones 
invite a drag queen. Or more than one. Then your party will become "special".
Most fun parties don't get started until THEY arrive.
