HEADS-UP
Attention Episcopal liturgists. Get off your lazy asses and get back to work:
Mary Gonzalez broke barriers when she became her state’s only openly lesbian lawmaker when she was elected to the Texas House of Representatives.
Now, however, Gonzalez is going even further, telling the Dallas Voice that she instead identifies herself as “pansexual.” As ThinkProgress notes, Gonzalez’s admission makes her perhaps the only openly pansexual elected U.S. official.
Though many might describe Gonzalez’s orientation as bisexual, pansexuals don’t believe in a “gender binary,” and hence can be attracted to all gender identities.
Gonzalez specified to the Voice that she doesn’t believe in a gender binary because “gender identity isn’t the defining part of my attraction,” and that she never fully embraced the term “lesbian.” Although she came out as bisexual at age 21, Gonzalez said she has also dated transgender and “gender-queer” people, in addition to women.
Gonzalez, who reportedly beat two opponents in the Democrat primary and has no opponent in the fall, continued: “As I started to recognize the gender spectrum and dated along the gender spectrum, I was searching for words that connected to that reality, for words that embraced the spectrum. At the time I didn’t feel as if the term bisexual was encompassing of a gender spectrum that I was dating and attracted to.”
Whatever, freakshow.
They’ll need some kind of symbol of flag or something so the Episcopalians will know whose asses to kiss(if you’ll pardon the expression). They’ll also need a name for men who are sexually attracted to men, women, men who think they’re women, women who think they’re men, hermaphrodites, iPads, open-face roast beef sandwiches, my 2001 Ford Ranger, cans of anchovies, a pair of St. Louis Blues season tickets, any given NASCAR jacket, your grandmother’s Apple Brown Betty, etc.
That’s it! We’ll call them Et Ceteras. I’ve got a fitty says that the first Etc. gets ordained in less than eight years and the first Etc. bishop gets his/her/its pointy hat less than two years after that. After all, God made them that way, Jesus never said anything about it and lots of so-called Christians eat shellfish on a regular basis.
